From af449901b84c98cbd84a0113223ba3bcfcb12a26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 10:38:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Add migrate_disable() Add the base migrate_disable() support (under protest). While migrate_disable() is (currently) required for PREEMPT_RT, it is also one of the biggest flaws in the system. Notably this is just the base implementation, it is broken vs sched_setaffinity() and hotplug, both solved in additional patches for ease of review.
