I think we still have (at least) two problems: - select_task_rq_dl, if we select a different target - select_task_rq might make use of select_fallback_rq, if cpus_allowed changed after the task went to sleep Second case is what creates the problem here, as we don't update task_rq(p) and fallback_cpu ac_bw. I was thinking we might do so, maybe adding fallback_cpu in task_struct, from migrate_task_rq_dl() (it has to be added yes), but I fear that we should hold both rq locks :/. Luca, did you already face this problem (if I got it right) and thought of a way to fix it? I'll go back and stare a bit more at those paths. Best, - Juri
