How about this ? SIGKILL is better ?
(I'm a bit afraid that this force_sig is safe or not...)
good night..

This patch adds sysctl "stop derailed process".
If stop_derailed_process == 1, a process will be stopped by SIGSTOP
which has cpu affinity but is forced to migrate to an unexpected cpu .
This will prevent unexpected trouble in multi-threaded application whose threads
are tightly coupled to specified cpus.
