In older non-RT kernels migrate_disable() was the same as preempt_disable().
Since commit 74d862b682 ("sched: Make migrate_disable/enable() independent of RT")
migrate_disable() is real and doesn't prevent sleeping.
Running sleepable programs with migration disabled allows to add support for
program stats and per-cpu maps later.

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.
