From 3944a9274ef6cda0cc282daf0739832f661670f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Segall Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 15:59:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix exec_start/task_hot on migrated tasks task_hot checks exec_start on any runnable task, but if it has been migrated since the it last ran, then exec_start is a clock_task from another cpu. If the old cpu's clock_task was sufficiently far ahead of this cpu's then the task will not be considered for another migration until it has run. Instead reset exec_start whenever a task is migrated, since it is presumably no longer hot anyway.
