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.
