We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: *) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. *) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and cpuset_hotplug_work
A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing prevents the system from more hotplug operations. For that reason guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring. However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with cpu_online_mask. For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online: ======================== =========================== cpu_online_mask top_cpuset.effective_cpus ======================== =========================== echo 1 > cpu2/online. CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled. [0,2] [0] echo 0 > cpu0/online. The workqueue is still runnable. [2] [0] ======================== =========================== Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and top_cpuset.effective_cpus. Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at this moment can cause following: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0 ------------[ cut here ]------------ Kernel BUG at ffffffc0001389b0 [verbose debug info unavailable] Internal error: Oops - BUG: 96000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 1420 Comm: taskset Tainted: G W 4.4.8+ #98 task: ffffffc06a5c4880 ti: ffffffc06e124000 task.ti: ffffffc06e124000 PC is at guarantee_online_cpus+0x2c/0x58 LR is at cpuset_cpus_allowed+0x4c/0x6c <snip> Process taskset (pid: 1420, stack limit = 0xffffffc06e124020) Call trace: [<ffffffc0001389b0>] guarantee_online_cpus+0x2c/0x58 [<ffffffc00013b208>] cpuset_cpus_allowed+0x4c/0x6c [<ffffffc0000d61f0>] sched_setaffinity+0xc0/0x1ac [<ffffffc0000d6374>] SyS_sched_setaffinity+0x98/0xac [<ffffffc000085cb0>] el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28 The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to cpu_online_mask eventually. Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and cpu_online_mask.
