[PATCH RESEND 2/2] sched/uclamp: Fix locking around cpu_util_update_eff()

From: Qais Yousef
Date: Mon May 10 2021 - 10:52:43 EST


cpu_cgroup_css_online() calls cpu_util_update_eff() without holding the
uclamp_mutex or rcu_read_lock() like other call sites, which is
a mistake.

The uclamp_mutex is required to protect against concurrent reads and
writes that could update the cgroup hierarchy.

The rcu_read_lock() is required to traverse the cgroup data structures
in cpu_util_update_eff().

Surround the caller with the required locks and add some asserts to
better document the dependency in cpu_util_update_eff().

Fixes: 7226017ad37a ("sched/uclamp: Fix a bug in propagating uclamp value in new cgroups")

There was no real failure observed because of this. Quentin just observed the
oddity and reported it.
