Subject: timers/migration: Fix hotplug migrator selection target on asymetric capacity machines
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e4a70f5fbd43f55b474028a2cee3d78e4b443dd7;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

timers/migration: Fix hotplug migrator selection target on asymetric capacity machines

When a top-level migrator is deactivated, either at CPU down hotplug time
or when a CPU is domain isolated, a new migrator is elected among the
available CPUs and woken up to take over the migration duty.

However that election must happen at the scope of a given hierarchy and not
globally, which the introduction of per-capacity hierarchies failed to
handle.

As a result a given hierarchy may end up without migrator to handle global
timers.

Fix it by making sure that the new migrator belongs to the same hierarchy
as the outgoing CPU.
