If the latter, perhaps the code is OK as it is in these patches, i.e. only finding one task at a time to migrate and waking one big CPU.
I'm still enjoying thinking about it :) One at a time is much simpler and we do need the bugfix to avoid a pinned task obscuring an unpinned one. I'm tempted to send you a respin with still one-at-a-time idle pulls but I haven't had testing time yet so it will have to be next week.
Sure, I won't push anything towards the direction of LSK for now.
Just in case I wasn't clear, that means there are currently no new MP patches in the 13.03 LSK release. If you are testing revised versions that you were hoping to get into the release it would be good to get them reviewed now rather than waiting for any testing to finish, otherwise they are likely not going to make it into the release. Of course, there's no practical reason why patches can't go into LSK next week after a good review and test, but I know some people get fixated on the monthly release cycle rather than do things as a when they're ready.
