sched: Fix migration_cpu_stop() requeueing
When affine_move_task(p) is called on a running task @p, which is not otherwise already changing affinity, we'll first set p->migration_pending and then do: stop_one_cpu(cpu_of_rq(rq), migration_cpu_stop, &arg); This then gets us to migration_cpu_stop() running on the CPU that was previously running our victim task @p. If we find that our task is no longer on that runqueue (this can happen because of a concurrent migration due to load-balance etc.), then we'll end up at the: } else if (dest_cpu < 1 || pending) { branch. Which we'll take because we set pending earlier. Here we first check if the task @p has already satisfied the affinity constraints, if so we bail early [A]. Otherwise we'll reissue migration_cpu_stop() onto the CPU that is now hosting our task @p: stop_one_cpu_nowait(cpu_of(rq), migration_cpu_stop, &pending->arg, &pending->stop_work); Except, we've never initialized pending->arg, which will be all 0s. This then results in running migration_cpu_stop() on the next CPU with arg->p == NULL, which gives the by now obvious result of fireworks. The cure is to change affine_move_task() to always use pending->arg, furthermore we can use the exact same pattern as the SCA_MIGRATE_ENABLE case, since we'll block on the pending->done completion anyway, no point in adding yet another completion in stop_one_cpu(). This then gives a clear distinction between the two migration_cpu_stop() use cases: - sched_exec() / migrate_task_to() : arg->pending == NULL - affine_move_task() : arg->pending != NULL; And we can have it ignore p->migration_pending when !arg->pending. Any stop work from sched_exec() / migrate_task_to() is in addition to stop works from affine_move_task(), which will be sufficient to issue the completion.
