Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] SEDF: avoid gathering vCPU-s on pCPU0

While you might argue that affinity changes ought to be done

you should also keep in mind that there are certain things that
Dom0 needs to change its vCPU affinities for (pv-ops doesn't
do that, which is while certain things there just can't work);
this is how I noticed in the first place that the second half of
the fix is necessary.

Oh right -- so the problem is that when you *expand* the mask, you want the scheduler to take another look at where might be a good place to run the vcpu given the changed constraints.

It's probably not a bad idea to just extend that idea to all the schedulers really. It's not like we expect people to be changing the affinity masks hundreds of times a second.
