	This issue happens under the following conditions: 1. preemption is off 2. __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW is defined 3. RT scheduling class 4. SMP system Sequence is as follows: 1.suppose current task is A. start schedule() 2.task A is enqueued pushable task at the entry of schedule() __schedule prev = rq->curr; ... put_prev_task put_prev_task_rt enqueue_pushable_task 4.pick the task B as next task. next = pick_next_task(rq); 3.rq->curr set to task B and context_switch is started. rq->curr = next; 4.At the entry of context_swtich, release this cpu's rq->lock. context_switch prepare_task_switch prepare_lock_switch raw_spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); 5.Shortly after rq->lock is released, interrupt is occurred and start IRQ context 6.try_to_wake_up() which called by ISR acquires rq->lock try_to_wake_up ttwu_remote rq = __task_rq_lock(p) ttwu_do_wakeup(rq, p, wake_flags); task_woken_rt 7.push_rt_task picks the task A which is enqueued before. task_woken_rt push_rt_tasks(rq) next_task = pick_next_pushable_task(rq) 8.At find_lock_lowest_rq(), If double_lock_balance() returns 0, lowest_rq can be the remote rq. (But,If preemption is on, double_lock_balance always return 1 and it does't happen.) push_rt_task find_lock_lowest_rq if (double_lock_balance(rq, lowest_rq)).. 9.find_lock_lowest_rq return the available rq. task A is migrated to the remote cpu/rq. push_rt_task ... deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu); activate_task(lowest_rq, next_task, 0); 10. But, task A is on irq context at this cpu. So, task A is scheduled by two cpus at the same time until restore from IRQ. Task A's stack is corrupted. To fix it, don't migrate an RT task if it's still running.

2011-12-06	sched/rt: Code cleanup, remove a redundant function call	Shan Hai
	The second call to sched_rt_period() is redundant, because the value of the rt_runtime was already read and it was protected by the ->rt_runtime_lock.

2011-12-06	sched: Use rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles	Mike Galbraith
	rt.nr_cpus_allowed is always available, use it to bail from select_task_rq() when only one cpu can be used, and saves some cycles for pinned tasks.
