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.
