[PATCH] rcu: tree: correctly handle sparse possible CPUs

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon May 16 2016 - 12:48:53 EST


In many cases in the RCU tree code, we iterate over the set of CPUS for
a leaf node described by rcu_node::grplo and rcu_node::grphi, checking
per-cpu data for each CPU in this range. However, if the set of possible
CPUs is sparse, some CPUs described in this range are not possible, and
thus no per-cpu region will have been allocated (or initialised) for
them by the generic percpu code.

Erroneous accesses to a per-cpu area for these !possible CPUs may fault
or may hit other data depending on the addressed generated when the
erroneous per cpu offset is applied. In practice, both cases have been
observed on arm64 hardware (the former being silent, but detectable with
additional patches).

To avoid issues resulting from this, we must iterate over the set of
*possible* cpus for a given leaf node. This patch adds new helpers to
enable this (also unifying and simplifying some related bitmask
manipulation logic), and moves the RCU tree code over to them.

Without this patch, running reboot at a shell can result in an oops
like:
