[PATCH 5.7 044/166] sched/core: Check cpus_mask, not cpus_ptr in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), to fix mask corruption

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Scott Wood <swood@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fd844ba9ae59b51e34e77105d79f8eca780b3bd6 ]

This function is concerned with the long-term CPU mask, not the
transitory mask the task might have while migrate disabled. Before
this patch, if a task was migrate-disabled at the time
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() was called, and the new mask happened to be
equal to the CPU that the task was running on, then the mask update
would be lost.
