sched/rt: Fix bad task migration for rt tasks
[ Upstream commit feffe5bb274dd3442080ef0e4053746091878799 ]
Commit 95158a89dd50 ("sched,rt: Use the full cpumask for balancing")
allows find_lock_lowest_rq() to pick a task with migration disabled.
The purpose of the commit is to push the current running task on the
CPU that has the migrate_disable() task away.
However, there is a race which allows a migrate_disable() task to be
migrated. Consider:
CPU0 CPU1
push_rt_task
check is_migration_disabled(next_task)
task not running and
migration_disabled == 0
find_lock_lowest_rq(next_task, rq);
_double_lock_balance(this_rq, busiest);
raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq);
double_rq_lock(this_rq, busiest);
<<wait for busiest rq>>
<wakeup>
task become running
migrate_disable();
<context out>
deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0);
set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu);
WARN_ON_ONCE(is_migration_disabled(p));
