From 48c5ccae88dcd989d9de507e8510313c6cbd352b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 19:32:29 +0100 Subject: sched: Simplify cpu-hot-unplug task migration While discussing the need for sched_idle_next(), Oleg remarked that since try_to_wake_up() ensures sleeping tasks will end up running on a sane cpu, we can do away with migrate_live_tasks(). If we then extend the existing hack of migrating current from CPU_DYING to migrating the full rq worth of tasks from CPU_DYING, the need for the sched_idle_next() abomination disappears as well, since idle will be the only possible thread left after the migration thread stops. This greatly simplifies the hot-unplug task migration path, as can be seen from the resulting code reduction (and about half the new lines are comments).
