So, just to give an update from yesterday (kind of tricky this one :/).

I think we still have (at least) two problems:

 - select_task_rq_dl, if we select a different target
 - select_task_rq might make use of select_fallback_rq, if cpus_allowed
   changed after the task went to sleep

Second case is what creates the problem here, as we don't update
task_rq(p) and fallback_cpu ac_bw. I was thinking we might do so, maybe
adding fallback_cpu in task_struct, from migrate_task_rq_dl() (it has to
be added yes), but I fear that we should hold both rq locks :/.

Luca, did you already face this problem (if I got it right) and thought
of a way to fix it? I'll go back and stare a bit more at those paths.

Best,
