commit 2685027fca387b602ae565bff17895188b803988 upstream. There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can be initialized in the order they are executed: 1) start_kernel -> cpuset_init() 2) start_kernel -> cgroup_init() -> cpuset_bind() 3) kernel_init_freeable() -> do_basic_setup() -> cpuset_init_smp() The first cpuset_init() call just sets all the bits in the masks. The second cpuset_bind() call sets cpus_allowed and mems_allowed to the default v2 values. The third cpuset_init_smp() call sets them back to v1 values. For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once. As a result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a cgroup v2 environment. For systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called again by rebind_subsystem() when the v1 cpuset filesystem is mounted as shown in the dmesg log below with an instrumented kernel. [ 2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1 [ 3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called [ 7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0 smp_init() is called after the first two init functions. So we don't have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus and effective_mems. To fix this cgroup v2 mask setup problem, the potentially incorrect cpus_allowed & mems_allowed setting in cpuset_init_smp() are removed. For cgroup v2 systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set the masks correctly. For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind() will do the right setup. cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Tested-by: Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Koutný <mkoutny@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.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.
