From: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@arm.com> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.94 commit d7d5b3bc5263cb82c5673e5972aba543f96199fa bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I531X9 Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 8b4e74ccb582797f6f0b0a50372ebd9fd2372a27 ] select_idle_sibling() has a special case for tasks woken up by a per-CPU kthread, where the selected CPU is the previous one. However, the current condition for this exit path is incomplete. A task can wake up from an interrupt context (e.g. hrtimer), while a per-CPU kthread is running. A such scenario would spuriously trigger the special case described above. Also, a recent change made the idle task like a regular per-CPU kthread, hence making that situation more likely to happen (is_per_cpu_kthread(swapper) being true now). Checking for task context makes sure select_idle_sibling() will not interpret a wake up from any other context as a wake up by a per-CPU kthread.
