    sched: move_task_off_dead_cpu(): Take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq() · 1445c08d
    Oleg Nesterov authored
    move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed
    lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel.
    
    Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not
    trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck
    the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not
    need this lock.
    
    To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on
    TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise.
    The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct
    CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because
    p->se.on_rq must be false.
    
    Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right
    after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly.
    
    Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().
