Thank you for explaning in detail, but this's why i asked you. Yes, rq->lock is insufficient in this place as you said, but should migrate_task_rq() be serialized by rq->lock? I might have agreed with you if the migrate_task_rq() should be serialized by rq->lock, but I think it's not the case. I think it would be of if task->pi_lock can work correcly within *if statement* in set_task_cpu(). Wrong?
