From: Peter Zijlstra commit fb58bac5c75bfff8bbf7d02071a10a62f32fe28b upstream As Nick pointed out, and realized by myself when doing: sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race the patch: sched: for_each_domain() vs RCU is wrong, sched_domains are freed after synchronize_sched(), which means disabling preemption is enough.
