OK, got it. So the following sequence would be a valid way to get the
scheduler's attention on the current CPU shortly after interrupts
are re-enabled, even if the current CPU is already holding some
rq or pi locks, correct?
set_tsk_need_resched(current);
set_preempt_need_resched();
smp_send_reschedule(smp_processor_id());
Thanx, Paul
