[PATCH 5.14 061/432] sched: Prevent balance_push() on remote runqueues

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 13:19:37 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 868ad33bfa3bf39960982682ad3a0f8ebda1656e upstream.

sched_setscheduler() and rt_mutex_setprio() invoke the run-queue balance
callback after changing priorities or the scheduling class of a task. The
run-queue for which the callback is invoked can be local or remote.

That's not a problem for the regular rq::push_work which is serialized with
a busy flag in the run-queue struct, but for the balance_push() work which
is only valid to be invoked on the outgoing CPU that's wrong. It not only
triggers the debug warning, but also leaves the per CPU variable push_work
unprotected, which can result in double enqueues on the stop machine list.

Remove the warning and validate that the function is invoked on the
outgoing CPU.
