You're right, I spotted the same a few days ago which resulted in:
--- commit f339b9dc1f03591761d5d930800db24bc0eda1e1 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Date: Tue May 31 10:49:20 2011 +0200
sched: Fix schedstat.nr_wakeups_migrate While looking over the code I found that with the ttwu rework the nr_wakeups_migrate test broke since we now switch cpus prior to calling ttwu_stat(), hence the test is always true. Cure this by passing the migration state in wake_flags. Also move the whole test under CONFIG_SMP, its hard to migrate tasks on UP :-) Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-pwwxl7gdqs5676f1d4cx6pj7@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
