But more importantly: why isn't migrate_disable/enable doing the right thing for !PREEMPT_RT to avoid this mess?
Please see Peter's description of the situation in af449901b84. While I'm not at all a fan of sprinkling migrate_disabling around code, I didn't want to add any overhead for the common case. If this, however, were not an issue (if most cases are async runs, for example) the ideal solution I think would be to just pin current to the hctx->cpumask. Thanks, Davidlohr
