Peter Zijlstra edd8e41d2e sched/fair: Plug hole between hotplug and active_load_balance()
The load balancer applies cpu_active_mask to whatever sched_domains it
finds, however in the case of active_balance there is a hole between
setting rq->{active_balance,push_cpu} and running the stop_machine
work doing the actual migration.

The @push_cpu can go offline in this window, which would result in us
moving a task onto a dead cpu, which is a fairly bad thing.

Double check the active mask before the stop work does the migration.

  CPU0					CPU1

  <SoftIRQ>
					stop_machine(takedown_cpu)
    load_balance()			cpu_stopper_thread()
      ...				  work = multi_cpu_stop
      stop_one_cpu_nowait(		    /* wait for CPU0 */
	.func = active_load_balance_cpu_stop
      );
  </SoftIRQ>

  cpu_stopper_thread()
    work = multi_cpu_stop
      /* sync with CPU1 */
					    take_cpu_down()
					<idle>
					  play_dead();

    work = active_load_balance_cpu_stop
      set_task_cpu(p, CPU1); /* oops!! */

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
