From 957ad0166e9f76a8561dafa5e14ef5bd3f5e9a3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vegard Nossum Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:30:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: update comment for move_task_off_dead_cpu Impact: cleanup This commit: commit f7b4cddcc5aca03e80e357360c9424dfba5056c2 Author: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue Oct 16 23:30:56 2007 -0700 do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(ta Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account. Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist). ...forgot to update the comment in front of move_task_off_dead_cpu.
