      sched: fix cpu hotplug, cleanup · b1e38734
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Clean up __migrate_task(): to just have separate "done" and "fail"
      cases, instead of that "out" case with random error behavior.

      I think we may have a race between try_to_wake_up() and
      migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu() when the later one
      may end up looping endlessly.
      
      Interrupts are enabled on other CPUs when migration_call(CPU_DEAD, ...) is
      called so we may get a race between try_to_wake_up() and
      migrate_live_tasks() -> move_task_off_dead_cpu(). The former one may push
      a task out of a dead CPU causing the later one to loop endlessly.

      The attached patch solves the issue for me.
      
      I'm checking as soon as possible for the period not being zero since, if
      it is, going ahead is useless. This way we also save a mutex_lock() and
      a read_lock() wrt doing it inside tg_set_bandwidth() or
      __rt_schedulable().

      sched: fix cpu hotplug · 79c53799
      Dmitry Adamushko authored
      the CPU hotplug problems (crashes under high-volume unplug+replug
      tests) seem to be related to migrate_dead_tasks().
      
      Firstly I added traces to see all tasks being migrated with
      migrate_live_tasks() and migrate_dead_tasks(). On my setup the problem
      pops up (the one with "se == NULL" in the loop of
      pick_next_task_fair()) shortly after the traces indicate that some has
      been migrated with migrate_dead_tasks()). btw., I can reproduce it
      much faster now with just a plain cpu down/up loop.
      
      [disclaimer] Well, unless I'm really missing something important in
      this late hour [/desclaimer] pick_next_task() is not something
      appropriate for migrate_dead_tasks() :-)
      
      the following change seems to eliminate the problem on my setup
      (although, I kept it running only for a few minutes to get a few
      messages indicating migrate_dead_tasks() does move tasks and the
      system is still ok)
