    sched: Make select_fallback_rq() cpuset friendly · 9084bb82
    Oleg Nesterov 提交于
    Introduce cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() helper to fix the cpuset problems
    with select_fallback_rq(). It can be called from any context and can't use
    any cpuset locks including task_lock(). It is called when the task doesn't
    have online cpus in ->cpus_allowed but ttwu/etc must be able to find a
    suitable cpu.
    
    I am not proud of this patch. Everything which needs such a fat comment
    can't be good even if correct. But I'd prefer to not change the locking
    rules in the code I hardly understand, and in any case I believe this
    simple change make the code much more correct compared to deadlocks we
    currently have.
