Subject: [PATCH 1/2] sched: Rework migrate_tasks()
Currently migrate_tasks() skips throttled tasks,
because they are not pickable by pick_next_task().
These tasks stay on dead cpu even after they
becomes unthrottled. They are not schedulable
till user manually changes their affinity or till
cpu becomes alive again.
But for user this looks completely untransparent:
task hangs, but it's not obvious what he has to do,
because kernel does not report any problem.
This situation may easily be triggered intentionally.
Playing with extremely small cpu.cfs_quota_us causes
it almost in 100% cases. In usual life it's very rare,
but still possible for some unhappy user.
This patch changes migrate_tasks() to iterate throw
all of the threads in the system under tasklist_lock
is locked. This may a little worsen the performance,
but:
1)it guarantees all of tasks will migrate;
2)migrate_tasks() is not performance critical,
it just must do what it has to do.
