Subject[PATCH] sched/core: Print out straggler tasks in sched_cpu_dying()
Date
Since commit

1cf12e08bc4d ("sched/hotplug: Consolidate task migration on CPU unplug")

tasks are expected to move themselves out of a out-going CPU. For most
tasks this will be done automagically via BALANCE_PUSH, but percpu kthreads
will have to cooperate and move themselves away one way or another.

Currently, some percpu kthreads (workqueues being a notable exemple) do not
cooperate nicely and can end up on an out-going CPU at the time
sched_cpu_dying() is invoked.

Print the dying rq's tasks to shed some light on the stragglers.

As Peter pointed out, this should really be caught much earlier than
sched_cpu_dying().

If we go down the route of preventing kthreads from being affined to
!active CPUs in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() (genuine percpu kthreads sidestep
it via kthread_bind_mask()), then I *think* we could catch this in wakeups,
i.e. select_task_rq(). I've been playing around there, but it's not as
straightforward as I'd have hoped.
