Subject: [PATCH 3/6] move_task_off_dead_cpu: remove retry logic
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:10:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100315091014.GA9138@redhat.com> (raw)

The previous patch preserved the retry logic, but it looks unneeded.

__migrate_task() can only fail if we raced with migration after we dropped
the lock, but in this case the caller of set_cpus_allowed/etc must initiate
migration itself if ->on_rq == T.

We already fixed p->cpus_allowed, the changes in active/online masks must
be visible to racer, it should migrate the task to online cpu correctly.
