    sched/core: Allow kthreads to fall back to online && !active cpus · feb245e3
    Tejun Heo 提交于
    During CPU hotplug, CPU_ONLINE callbacks are run while the CPU is
    online but not active.  A CPU_ONLINE callback may create or bind a
    kthread so that its cpus_allowed mask only allows the CPU which is
    being brought online.  The kthread may start executing before the CPU
    is made active and can end up in select_fallback_rq().
    
    In such cases, the expected behavior is selecting the CPU which is
    coming online; however, because select_fallback_rq() only chooses from
    active CPUs, it determines that the task doesn't have any viable CPU
    in its allowed mask and ends up overriding it to cpu_possible_mask.
    
    CPU_ONLINE callbacks should be able to put kthreads on the CPU which
    is coming online.  Update select_fallback_rq() so that it follows
    cpu_online() rather than cpu_active() for kthreads.
