[patch 13/17] sched: migrate throttled tasks on HOTPLUG

From: Paul Turner
Date: Thu Jul 07 2011 - 01:34:50 EST


Throttled tasks are invisisble to cpu-offline since they are not eligible for
selection by pick_next_task(). The regular 'escape' path for a thread that is
blocked at offline is via ttwu->select_task_rq, however this will not handle a
throttled group since there are no individual thread wakeups on an unthrottle.

Resolve this by unthrottling offline cpus so that threads can be migrated.
