6.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit c245910049d04fbfa85bb2f5acd591c24e9907c7 upstream. Paths using put_prev_task_balance() need to do a pick shortly after. Make sure they also clear the ->dl_server on prev as a part of that.
