Daniel Jordan 6eab3f646b cpuset: fix race between hotplug work and later CPU offline
commit 406100f3da08066c00105165db8520bbc7694a36 upstream.

One of our machines keeled over trying to rebuild the scheduler domains.
Mainline produces the same splat:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000607f820054db
  CPU: 2 PID: 149 Comm: kworker/1:1 Not tainted 5.10.0-rc1-master+ #6
  Workqueue: events cpuset_hotplug_workfn
  RIP: build_sched_domains
  Call Trace:
   partition_sched_domains_locked
   rebuild_sched_domains_locked
   cpuset_hotplug_workfn

It happens with cgroup2 and exclusive cpusets only.  This reproducer
triggers it on an 8-cpu vm and works most effectively with no
preexisting child cgroups:

  cd $UNIFIED_ROOT
  mkdir cg1
  echo 4-7 > cg1/cpuset.cpus
  echo root > cg1/cpuset.cpus.partition

  # with smt/control reading 'on',
  echo off > /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control

RIP maps to

  sd->shared = *per_cpu_ptr(sdd->sds, sd_id);

from sd_init().  sd_id is calculated earlier in the same function:

  cpumask_and(sched_domain_span(sd), cpu_map, tl->mask(cpu));
  sd_id = cpumask_first(sched_domain_span(sd));

tl->mask(cpu), which reads cpu_sibling_map on x86, returns an empty mask
and so cpumask_first() returns >= nr_cpu_ids, which leads to the bogus
value from per_cpu_ptr() above.

The problem is a race between cpuset_hotplug_workfn() and a later
offline of CPU N.  cpuset_hotplug_workfn() updates the effective masks
when N is still online, the offline clears N from cpu_sibling_map, and
then the worker uses the stale effective masks that still have N to
generate the scheduling domains, leading the worker to read
N's empty cpu_sibling_map in sd_init().

rebuild_sched_domains_locked() prevented the race during the cgroup2
cpuset series up until the Fixes commit changed its check.  Make the
check more robust so that it can detect an offline CPU in any exclusive
cpuset's effective mask, not just the top one.

README

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.
