Call work_on_cpu(cpu, fn, arg) in pci_call_probe() while the argument

This can be happen if a node is online while all its CPUs are
offline (We can use "maxcpus=1" without "nr_cpus=1" to reproduce it).

So, in the above case, let pci_call_probe() call local_pci_probe()
instead of work_on_cpu() when the best selected cpu is offline.

Why not choose the right cpu to callwork_on_cpu() ? the one that is online. Thanks, Ethan
Yes, let housekeeping_cpumask() return online cpu is a good idea, but it may be changed by command line. so the simplest way is to call local_pci_probe when the best selected cpu is offline.

Hmm..... housekeeping_cpumask() should never return offline CPU, so
I guess you didn't hit issue with the CPU isolation, but the following
code seems not good.
The issue is the dev node is online but the best selected cpu is offline, so it seems that there is no better way to directly set the cpu to nr_cpu_ids.

I mean where the bug is ? you should debug more about that.
just add one cpu_online(cpu) check there might suggest there
is bug in the cpu selection stage.


if (node < 0 || node >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(node) ||
pci_physfn_is_probed(dev)) {
cpu = nr_cpu_ids; // <----- if you hit here, then local_pci_probe() should be called.
} else {
cpumask_var_t wq_domain_mask;

if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&wq_domain_mask, GFP_KERNEL)) {
error = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
cpumask_and(wq_domain_mask,
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_WQ),
housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_DOMAIN));

cpu = cpumask_any_and(cpumask_of_node(node),
wq_domain_mask);
free_cpumask_var(wq_domain_mask);
// <----- if you hit here, then work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, &ddi) should be called.
// do you mean there one offline cpu is selected ?

}

if (cpu < nr_cpu_ids)
error = work_on_cpu(cpu, local_pci_probe, &ddi);
else
error = local_pci_probe(&ddi);


Thanks,
Ethan


...

if (node < 0 || node >= MAX_NUMNODES || !node_online(node) ||
         pci_physfn_is_probed(dev)) {
         cpu = nr_cpu_ids;
     } else {

perhaps you could change the logic there and fix it  ?

Thanks
