So one thing I wasn't entirely clear on (and holidays didn't fix that) is
the rt_queue_pull_task() from switched_from_rt() only happens if that rq
has no other runnable RT tasks, so I don't quite see how the
irq_work_queue_on() can end up as a self-IPI...

I think that's what we want - if current isn't the (logical) highest
priority task on the runqueue, we should forgo push/pull and reschedule
ASAP.

Right. This reminds me of:

Ah, so you explicitely prevent rt.c::find_lowest_rq() invocations with a
non-RT task... But what if current is an RT task that just got deboosted,
so that next_task->prio < rq->curr->prio? IMO we should reschedule ASAP (as
I already blabbered about above). If next_task is migration_disabled but
higher (logical) prio than current, we don't need to do any of the
migration_disabled specific crud, we just reschedule.
