[PATCH v6 2/2] sched: Use kfree_rcu() in do_set_cpus_allowed()
From: Waiman Long
Date: Fri Dec 30 2022 - 23:12:44 EST
Commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") may call kfree() if user_cpus_ptr was previously
set. Unfortunately, some of the callers of do_set_cpus_allowed()
may have pi_lock held when calling it. So the following splats may be
printed especially when running with a PREEMPT_RT kernel:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context
To avoid these problems, kfree_rcu() is used instead. An internal
cpumask_rcuhead union is created for the sole purpose of facilitating
the use of kfree_rcu() to free the cpumask.
Since user_cpus_ptr is not being used in non-SMP configs, the newly
introduced alloc_user_cpus_ptr() helper will return NULL in this case
and sched_setaffinity() is modified to handle this special case.
Fixes: 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in do_set_cpus_allowed()")
