With the new mechanism which kicks tasks off the outgoing CPU at the end of schedule() the situation on an outgoing CPU right before the stopper thread brings it down completely is: - All user tasks and all unbound kernel threads have either been migrated away or are not running and the next wakeup will move them to a online CPU. - All per CPU kernel threads, except cpu hotplug thread and the stopper thread have either been unbound or parked by the responsible CPU hotplug callback. That means that at the last step before the stopper thread is invoked the cpu hotplug thread is the last legitimate running task on the outgoing CPU. Add a final wait step right before the stopper thread is kicked which ensures that any still running tasks on the way to park or on the way to kick themself of the CPU are either sleeping or gone. This allows to remove the migrate_tasks() crutch in sched_cpu_dying(). If sched_cpu_dying() detects that there is still another running task aside of the stopper thread then it will explode with the appropriate fireworks.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
