Sebastian noted that the rto_push_work IRQ work can be queued for a CPU
that has an empty pushable_tasks list, which means nothing useful will be
done in the IPI other than queue the work for the next CPU on the rto_mask.
rto_push_irq_work_func() only operates on tasks in the pushable_tasks list,
but the conditions for that irq_work to be queued (and for a CPU to be
added to the rto_mask) rely on rq_rt->nr_migratory instead.
nr_migratory is increased whenever an RT task entity is enqueued and it has
nr_cpus_allowed > 1. Unlike the pushable_tasks list, nr_migratory includes a
rt_rq's current task. This means a rt_rq can have a migratible current, N
non-migratible queued tasks, and be flagged as overloaded / have its CPU
set in the rto_mask, despite having an empty pushable_tasks list.
Make an rt_rq's overload logic be driven by {enqueue,dequeue}_pushable_task().
Since rt_rq->{rt_nr_migratory,rt_nr_total} become unused, remove them.
Note that the case where the current task is pushed away to make way for a
migration-disabled task remains unchanged: the migration-disabled task has
to be in the pushable_tasks list in the first place, which means it has
nr_cpus_allowed > 1.

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.
