Subject: [PATCH 1/2] timers/migration: Fix hotplug migrator selection target on asymetric capacity machines
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 00:09:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260519220926.63437-2-frederic@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260519220926.63437-1-frederic@kernel.org>

When a top-level migrator is deactivated, either at CPU down hotplug
time or when a CPU is domain isolated, a new migrator is elected among
the available CPUs and woken up to take over the migration duty.

However that election must happen at the scope of a given hierarchy and
not globally, which the introduction of per-capacity hierarchies failed
to handle.

As a result a given hierarchy may end up without migrator to handle
global timers.

Fix it with making sure that the new migrator belongs to the same
hierarchy as the outgoing CPU.

Fixes: 098cbaad8e57 ("timers/migration: Split per-capacity hierarchies")
