(this is a second submission -- the first was from a work area back
porting to an older release)
When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks
that have been running on that cpu.
Currently, such a task is migrated:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
But the task's cpus_allowed may have been a single cpu.
This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to a cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its cpuset).
With this patch, migrate the task to:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
Diffed against 2.6.21-rc3 (Andrew's current top of tree)
