[PATCH 3/2] padata: initialize usable masks to reflect offlined CPU

From: Daniel Jordan
Date: Mon Aug 12 2019 - 17:02:21 EST


__padata_remove_cpu clears the offlined CPU from the usable masks after
padata_alloc_pd has initialized pd->cpu, which means pd->cpu could be
initialized to this CPU, causing padata to wait indefinitely for the
next job in padata_get_next.

Make the usable masks reflect the offline CPU when they're established
in padata_setup_cpumasks so pd->cpu is initialized properly.

Fixes: 6fc4dbcf0276 ("padata: Replace delayed timer with immediate workqueue in padata_reorder")

Hi, one more edge case. All combinations of CPUs among
parallel_cpumask, serial_cpumask, and CPU hotplug have now been tested
in a 4-CPU VM, and an 8-CPU VM has run with random combinations of these
settings for over an hour.
