hotplug cpu: migrate a task within its cpuset
When a cpu is disabled, move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called for tasks that have
been running on that cpu.
Currently, such a task is migrated:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
It is typical of a multithreaded application running on a large NUMA system to
have its tasks confined to a cpuset so as to cluster them near the memory that
they share. Furthermore, it is typical to explicitly place such a task on a
specific cpu in that cpuset. And in that case the task's cpus_allowed
includes only a single cpu.
This patch would insert a preference to migrate such a task to some cpu within
its cpuset (and set its cpus_allowed to its entire cpuset).
With this patch, migrate the task to:
1) to any cpu on the same node as the disabled cpu, which is both online
and among that task's cpus_allowed
2) to any online cpu within the task's cpuset
3) to any cpu which is both online and among that task's cpus_allowed
In order to do this, move_task_off_dead_cpu() must make a call to
cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked(), a new subset of cpuset_cpus_allowed(), that will
not block. (name change - per Oleg's suggestion)
Calls are made to cpuset_lock() and cpuset_unlock() in migration_call() to set
the cpuset mutex during the whole migrate_live_tasks() and
migrate_dead_tasks() procedure.
