From 908a3283728d92df36e0c7cd63304fd35e93a8a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 15:32:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix idle_cpu() On -rt we observed hackbench waking all 400 tasks to a single cpu. This is because of select_idle_sibling()'s interaction with the new ipi based wakeup scheme. The existing idle_cpu() test only checks to see if the current task on that cpu is the idle task, it does not take already queued tasks into account, nor does it take queued to be woken tasks into account. If the remote wakeup IPIs come hard enough, there won't be time to schedule away from the idle task, and would thus keep thinking the cpu was in fact idle, regardless of the fact that there were already several hundred tasks runnable. We couldn't reproduce on mainline, but there's no reason it couldn't happen.
