sched/numa: Acquire RCU lock for checking idle cores during NUMA balancing
Qian Cai reported the following bug: The linux-next commitff7db0bf24
("sched/numa: Prefer using an idle CPU as a migration target instead of comparing tasks") introduced a boot warning, [ 86.520534][ T1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage [ 86.520540][ T1] 5.6.0-rc3-next-20200227 #7 Not tainted [ 86.520545][ T1] ----------------------------- [ 86.520551][ T1] kernel/sched/fair.c:5914 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! [ 86.520555][ T1] [ 86.520555][ T1] other info that might help us debug this: [ 86.520555][ T1] [ 86.520561][ T1] [ 86.520561][ T1] rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 [ 86.520567][ T1] 1 lock held by systemd/1: [ 86.520571][ T1] #0: ffff8887f4b14848 (&mm->mmap_sem#2){++++}, at: do_page_fault+0x1d2/0x998 [ 86.520594][ T1] [ 86.520594][ T1] stack backtrace: [ 86.520602][ T1] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: systemd Not tainted 5.6.0-rc3-next-20200227 #7 task_numa_migrate() checks for idle cores when updating NUMA-related statistics. This relies on reading a RCU-protected structure in test_idle_cores() via this call chain task_numa_migrate -> update_numa_stats -> numa_idle_core -> test_idle_cores While the locking could be fine-grained, it is more appropriate to acquire the RCU lock for the entire scan of the domain. This patch removes the warning triggered at boot time. Reported-by: Qian Cai <cai@lca.pw> Reviewed-by: Paul E.
