    sched/fair: Remove double_lock_balance() from active_load_balance_cpu_stop() · e5673f28
    Kirill Tkhai authored
    Avoid double_rq_lock() and use the TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING state for
    active_load_balance_cpu_stop(). The advantage is (obviously) not
    holding two 'rq->lock's at the same time and thereby increasing
    parallelism.
    
    Further note that if there was no task to migrate we will not
    have acquired the second rq->lock at all.
    
    The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock
    immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of
    task_rq_lock() callers on TASK_ON_RQ_MIGRATING is not longer
    than it would have been in the double rq lock scenario.
