      sched: Make sure timers have migrated before killing the migration_thread · 54e88fad
      Amit K. Arora authored
      Problem: In a stress test where some heavy tests were running along with
      regular CPU offlining and onlining, a hang was observed. The system seems
      to be hung at a point where migration_call() tries to kill the
      migration_thread of the dying CPU, which just got moved to the current
      CPU. This migration thread does not get a chance to run (and die) since
      rt_throttled is set to 1 on current, and it doesn't get cleared as the
      hrtimer which is supposed to reset the rt bandwidth
      (sched_rt_period_timer) is tied to the CPU which we just marked dead!
      
      Solution: This patch pushes the killing of migration thread to
      "CPU_POST_DEAD" event. By then all the timers (including
      sched_rt_period_timer) should have got migrated (along with other
      callbacks).
