But after the migrate_disable() is invoked a CPU can not be brought down.
If there are pinned tasks a "hotplug path" will be blocked on balance_hotplug_wait()
call.

Indeed, the hotplug time is affected. For example in case of waiting for
a mutex to be released, an owner will wakeup waiters. But this is expectable.

For example z3fold.c:
/* Add to the appropriate unbuddied list */
static inline void add_to_unbuddied(struct z3fold_pool *pool,
struct z3fold_header *zhdr)
{
if (zhdr->first_chunks == 0 || zhdr->last_chunks == 0 ||
zhdr->middle_chunks == 0) {
struct list_head *unbuddied;
int freechunks = num_free_chunks(zhdr);
migrate_disable();
unbuddied = this_cpu_ptr(pool->unbuddied);
spin_lock(&pool->lock);
list_add(&zhdr->buddy, &unbuddied[freechunks]);
spin_unlock(&pool->lock);
zhdr->cpu = smp_processor_id();
migrate_enable();
}
}
for PREEMPT_RT kernel a spinlock is converted to rt-mutex, thus it can sleep.
