3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 4c9a4bc89a9cca8128bce67d6bc8870d6b7ee0b2 upstream.
In order to remove dropping rq->lock from the
switched_{to,from}()/prio_changed() sched_class methods, run the
balance callbacks after it.
We need to remove dropping rq->lock because its buggy,
suppose using sched_setattr()/sched_setscheduler() to change a running
task from FIFO to OTHER.
By the time we get to switched_from_rt() the task is already enqueued
on the cfs runqueues. If switched_from_rt() does pull_rt_task() and
drops rq->lock, load-balancing can come in and move our task @p to
another rq.
The subsequent switched_to_fair() still assumes @p is on @rq and bad
things will happen.
By using balance callbacks we delay the load-balancing operations
{rt,dl}x{push,pull} until we've done all the important work and the
task is fully set up.
Furthermore, the balance callbacks do not know about @p, therefore
they cannot get confused like this.
