Subject: [PATCH 1/2] do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(tasklist)
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 20:53:03 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070824165303.GA1782@tv-sign.ru> (raw)

(the explicit ack/nack from maintainers is wanted)

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).

This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see
