From 4d25b35ea3729affd37d69c78191ce6f92766e1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Fleming Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 16:15:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Restore previous rq_flags when migrating tasks in hotplug __migrate_task() can return with a different runqueue locked than the one we passed as an argument. So that we can repin the lock in migrate_tasks() (and keep the update_rq_clock() bit) we need to restore the old rq_flags before repinning. Note that it wouldn't be correct to change move_queued_task() to repin because of the change of runqueue and the fact that having an up-to-date clock on the initial rq doesn't mean the new rq has one too.
