sched: fix cpu hotplug
Commit 79c537998d143b127c8c662a403c3356cb885f1c upstream 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) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
