Commitabfc01077d("sched: Fix do_set_cpus_allowed() locking") overlooked that __balance_push_cpu_stop() calls select_fallback_rq() with rq->lock held. This makes that set_cpus_allowed_force() will recursively take rq->lock and the machine locks up. Run select_fallback_rq() earlier, without holding rq->lock. This opens up a race window where a task could get migrated out from under us, but that is harmless, we want the task migrated. select_fallback_rq() itself will not be subject to concurrency as it will be fully serialized by p->pi_lock, so there is no chance of set_cpus_allowed_force() getting called with different arguments and selecting different fallback CPUs for one task.

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 reStructuredText 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.
