This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sched-fix-stop_one_cpu_nowait-vs-hotplug.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 13ec9a8314dee311f28fa45eb78d5aa0c362fdc3 Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 10 20:57:39 2023 +0200 sched: Fix stop_one_cpu_nowait() vs hotplug [ Upstream commit f0498d2a54e7966ce23cd7c7ff42c64fa0059b07 ] Kuyo reported sporadic failures on a sched_setaffinity() vs CPU hotplug stress-test -- notably affine_move_task() remains stuck in wait_for_completion(), leading to a hung-task detector warning. Specifically, it was reported that stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop) returns false -- this stopper is responsible for the matching complete(). The race scenario is: CPU0 CPU1 // doing _cpu_down() __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() task_rq_lock(); takedown_cpu() stop_machine_cpuslocked(take_cpu_down..) <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread() MULTI_STOP_PREPARE ... __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked() affine_move_task() task_rq_unlock(); <PREEMPT: cpu_stopper_thread()\> ack_state() MULTI_STOP_RUN take_cpu_down() __cpu_disable(); stop_machine_park(); stopper->enabled = false; /> /> stop_one_cpu_nowait(.fn = migration_cpu_stop); if (stopper->enabled) // false!!! That is, by doing stop_one_cpu_nowait() after dropping rq-lock, the stopper thread gets a chance to preempt and allows the cpu-down for the target CPU to complete. OTOH, since stop_one_cpu_nowait() / cpu_stop_queue_work() needs to issue a wakeup, it must not be ran under the scheduler locks. Solve this apparent contradiction by keeping preemption disabled over the unlock + queue_stopper combination: preempt_disable(); task_rq_unlock(...); if (!stop_pending) stop_one_cpu_nowait(...) preempt_enable(); This respects the lock ordering contraints while still avoiding the above race. That is, if we find the CPU is online under rq-lock, the targeted stop_one_cpu_nowait() must succeed. Apply this pattern to all similar stop_one_cpu_nowait() invocations.
