The donor\ndoes not execute there, and its original execution CPU remains recorded\nin wake_cpu.\n\nset_task_cpu() warns unconditionally for migration-disabled tasks, so a\nsubsequent proxy migration or the wakeup path returning the donor home\ntriggers a false positive: moving a blocked scheduling context does not\nviolate the migration-disabled execution context.\n\nFor example, creating a mutex owner on CPU1 and a migration-disabled\nwaiter on CPU0 can trigger the following warning:\n\n proxy_migrate_repro: donor blocking on CPU0 with migration disabled\n proxy_migrate_repro: donor moved from CPU0 to CPU1\n WARNING: kernel/sched/core.c:3389 at set_task_cpu+0x1d3/0x280\n ...\n Call Trace:\n try_to_wake_up+0x43f/0x780\n __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x330/0x540\n owner_fn+0x9f/0xc0 [proxy_migrate_repro]\n ...\n proxy_migrate_repro: donor woke on CPU0, task_cpu=0\n proxy_migrate_repro: completed\n\nExclude blocked proxy donors from the warning.
