Something like so? --- Subject: sched/fair: Remove double_lock_balance() from active_load_balance_cpu_stop() From: Kirill Tkhai Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2014 12:06:56 +0400 Avoid double_rq_lock() and use ONRQ_MIGRATING for active_load_balance_cpu_stop(). The advantage is (obviously) not holding two 'rq->lock's at the same time and thereby increasing parallelism. Further note that if there was no task to migrate we will not have acquired the second rq->lock at all. The important point to note is that because we acquire dst->lock immediately after releasing src->lock the potential wait time of task_rq_lock() callers on ONRQ_MIGRATING is not longer than it would have been in the double rq lock scenario.
