[PATCH v4 10/19] sched: Fix migrate_disable() vs set_cpus_allowed_ptr()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Fri Oct 23 2020 - 06:26:10 EST


Concurrent migrate_disable() and set_cpus_allowed_ptr() has
interesting features. We rely on set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to not return
until the task runs inside the provided mask. This expectation is
exported to userspace.

This means that any set_cpus_allowed_ptr() caller must wait until
migrate_enable() allows migrations.

At the same time, we don't want migrate_enable() to schedule, due to
patterns like:

preempt_disable();
migrate_disable();
...
migrate_enable();
preempt_enable();

And:

raw_spin_lock(&B);
spin_unlock(&A);

this means that when migrate_enable() must restore the affinity
mask, it cannot wait for completion thereof. Luck will have it that
that is exactly the case where there is a pending
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(), so let that provide storage for the async stop
machine.

Much thanks to Valentin who used TLA+ most effective and found lots of
'interesting' cases.
