11 * This code tracks the priority of each CPU so that global migration
12 * decisions are easy to calculate. Each CPU can be in a state as follows:
14 * (INVALID), IDLE, NORMAL, RT1, ... RT99
16 * going from the lowest priority to the highest. CPUs in the INVALID state
17 * are not eligible for routing. The system maintains this state with
18 * a 2 dimensional bitmap (the first for priority class, the second for CPUs
19 * in that class). Therefore a typical application without affinity
20 * restrictions can find a suitable CPU with O(1) complexity (e.g. two bit
21 * searches). For tasks with affinity restrictions, the algorithm has a
22 * worst case complexity of O(min(102, nr_domcpus)), though the scenario that
23 * yields the worst case search is fairly contrived.

59 * If a mask is not set, then the only thing wrong is that we

63 * memory barriers, that can only happen when the highest prio
64 * task for a run queue has left the run queue, in which case,
65 * it will be followed by a pull. If the task we are processing
