[ Upstream commit feffe5bb274dd3442080ef0e4053746091878799 ] Commit 95158a89dd50 ("sched,rt: Use the full cpumask for balancing") allows find_lock_lowest_rq() to pick a task with migration disabled. The purpose of the commit is to push the current running task on the CPU that has the migrate_disable() task away. However, there is a race which allows a migrate_disable() task to be migrated. Consider: CPU0 CPU1 push_rt_task check is_migration_disabled(next_task) task not running and migration_disabled == 0 find_lock_lowest_rq(next_task, rq); _double_lock_balance(this_rq, busiest); raw_spin_rq_unlock(this_rq); double_rq_lock(this_rq, busiest); <<wait for busiest rq>> <wakeup> task become running migrate_disable(); <context out> deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu); WARN_ON_ONCE(is_migration_disabled(p)); Fixes: 95158a89dd50 ("sched,rt: Use the full cpumask for balancing") Signed-off-by: Schspa Shi <schspa@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Dietmar Eggemann <dietmar.eggemann@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@redhat.com> Tested-by: Dwaine Gonyier <dgonyier@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
