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!! */
