Subject: Re: sched: softlockups in multi_cpu_stop

Some more info:

multi_cpu_stop seems to be spinning inside do { ... } while (curstate
!= MULTI_STOP_EXIT);

So, multi_cpu_stop is an offload ([migration]) for: migrate_swap ->
stop_two_cpus -> wait_for_completion() sequence... for cross-migrating
2 tasks.

Based on task structs from callers stacks:

PID 14990 CPU 05 -> PID 14996 CPU 00
PID 14991 CPU 30 -> PID 14998 CPU 01 (30 -> 1, different curr, same )
PID 14992 CPU 30 -> PID 14998 CPU 01 (30 -> 1, different curr)
PID 14996 CPU 00 -> PID 14992 CPU 30
PID 14998 CPU 01 -> PID 14990 CPU 05

RUNNING migration threads (cpu_stopper_thread -> multi_cpu_stop):

PID 118 = LAST CPU 09, CPU 09
PID 102 = LAST CPU 06, CPU 06
PID 143 = LAST CPU 14, CPU 14
PID 148 = LAST CPU 15, CPU 15
PID 153 = LAST CPU 16, CPU 16
