Both Rik and Mel reported seeing ttwu() spend significant time on: smp_cond_load_acquire(&p->on_cpu, !VAL); Attempt to avoid this by queueing the wakeup on the CPU that owns the p->on_cpu value. This will then allow the ttwu() to complete without further waiting. Since we run schedule() with interrupts disabled, the IPI is guaranteed to happen after p->on_cpu is cleared, this is what makes it safe to queue early.

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.
