      cpusets, hotplug, scheduler: fix scheduler domain breakage · 3e84050c
      Dmitry Adamushko 提交于
      Commit f18f982a ("sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler
      domains created by the cpusets") introduced a hotplug-related problem as
      described below:
      
      Upon CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
      
        update_sched_domains() -> detach_destroy_domains(&cpu_online_map)
      
      does the following:
      
      /*
       * Force a reinitialization of the sched domains hierarchy. The domains
       * and groups cannot be updated in place without racing with the balancing
       * code, so we temporarily attach all running cpus to the NULL domain
       * which will prevent rebalancing while the sched domains are recalculated.
       */
      
      The sched-domains should be rebuilt when a CPU_DOWN ops. has been
      completed, effectively either upon CPU_DEAD{_FROZEN} (upon success) or
      CPU_DOWN_FAILED{_FROZEN} (upon failure -- restore the things to their
      initial state). That's what update_sched_domains() also does but only
      for !CPUSETS case.
      
      With f18f982a, sched-domains' reinitialization is delegated to
      CPUSETS code:
      
      cpuset_handle_cpuhp() -> common_cpu_mem_hotplug_unplug() ->
      rebuild_sched_domains()
      
      Being called for CPU_UP_PREPARE and if its callback is called after
      update_sched_domains()), it just negates all the work done by
      update_sched_domains() -- i.e. a soon-to-be-offline cpu is included in
      the sched-domains and that makes it visible for the load-balancer
      while the CPU_DOWN ops. is in progress.
      
      __migrate_live_tasks() moves the tasks off a 'dead' cpu (it's already
      "offline" when this function is called).
      
      try_to_wake_up() is called for one of these tasks from another CPU ->
      the load-balancer (wake_idle()) picks up a "dead" CPU and places the
      task on it. Then e.g. BUG_ON(rq->nr_running) detects this a bit later
      -> oops.
