Yes. I know sched_setaffinity(), it sets cpu_mask of a task. I want to  
use it in a timer interrupt( scheduler_tick() ), can I?

I use sched_getaffinity() in a timer interrupt, but it doesn't work.As  
following,

scheduler_tick()
{
     every 100ms, balance();
}

static int balance(void)
{
     Get temperature of two cpus.
     int ret;
     cpumask_t mask;

     If(one cpu is much hotter than another one){
         ret = sched_getaffinity(rq->curr->pid, &mask);
     }
}

If I comment sched_getaffinity, it works well.
