From ff6505766565616deb65a203e62d4ca63c6c277b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2022 15:51:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Teach the forced-newidle balancer about CPU affinity limitation. commit 386ef214c3c6ab111d05e1790e79475363abaa05 upstream. try_steal_cookie() looks at task_struct::cpus_mask to decide if the task could be moved to `this' CPU. It ignores that the task might be in a migration disabled section while not on the CPU. In this case the task must not be moved otherwise per-CPU assumption are broken. Use is_cpu_allowed(), as suggested by Peter Zijlstra, to decide if the a task can be moved.
