From 861d034ee814917a83bd5de4b26e3b8336ddeeb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:31:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Fix rq->clock synchronization when migrating tasks sched_fork() -- we do task placement in ->task_fork_fair() ensure we update_rq_clock() so we work with current time. We leave the vruntime in relative state, so the time delay until wake_up_new_task() doesn't matter. wake_up_new_task() -- Since task_fork_fair() left p->vruntime in relative state we can safely migrate, the activate_task() on the remote rq will call update_rq_clock() and causes the clock to be synced (enough).
