要在合理的范围内质疑, maintainer 也会有没考虑周全的情况。

明确问题的引入点
Commit 95158a89dd50 ("sched,rt: Use the full cpumask for balancing")allow find_lock_lowest_rq to pick a task with migration disabled.This commit is intended to push the current running task on this CPUaway.There is a race scenario, which allows a migration disabled task tobe migrated to another CPU.When there is a RT task with higher priority, rt sched class wasintended to migrate higher priority task to lowest rq via push_rt_tasks,this WARNING will happen here.With the system running on PREEMPT_RT, rt_spin_lock will disablemigration, this will make the problem easier to reproduce.

明确场景区别
This problem was fixed on arm virt platform in patchhttps://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-07/msg01119.htmlIt works perfectly on arm virt platform. but there is still there onxlnx-versal SOC.The main difference between arm virt and xlnx-versal is they usedifferent way to create virtio-mmio qdev. on arm virt, it callssysbus_create_simple("virtio-mmio", base, pic[irq]); which will callsysbus_mmio_map internally and assign base address to subsys devicemmio correctly. but xlnx-versal's implements won't do this.However, xlnx-versal can't switch to sysbus_create_simple() to createvirtio-mmio device. It's because xlnx-versal's cpu useVersalVirt.soc.fpd.apu.mr as it's memory. which is subregion ofsystem_memory. sysbus_create_simple will add virtio to system_memory,which can't be accessed by cpu.

给出解决方案
We can solve this by simply assign mmio[0].addr directly. makesvirtio_mmio_bus_get_dev_path to produce correct unique device path.

这些Tag间需要连续,中间不能有空行。
如下面的patch, Reported-by 和 Signed-off-by 标签之间有一个空行,这样会导致
git interpret-trailers 命令无法正常运行。

提交技巧
问题分析
在适当的位置添加delay来提高复现概率
注意锁范围
大多数的BUG都是因为锁范围有问题而产生的。特别是先unlock,之后再去lock的情景,如果
有类似情况,一定要多加注意。
