Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
3fc50ab559
There are several things that can go wrong in the current code on NUMA systems, especially if not all nodes are online all the time: - If the identifiers of the online nodes do not form a single contiguous block starting at zero, wq->wqes will be too small, and OOB memory accesses will occur e.g. in the loop in io_wq_create(). - If a node comes online between the call to num_online_nodes() and the for_each_node() loop in io_wq_create(), an OOB write will occur. - If a node comes online between io_wq_create() and io_wq_enqueue(), a lookup is performed for an element that doesn't exist, and an OOB read will probably occur. Fix it by: - using nr_node_ids instead of num_online_nodes() for the allocation size; nr_node_ids is calculated by setup_nr_node_ids() to be bigger than the highest node ID that could possibly come online at some point, even if those nodes' identifiers are not a contiguous block - creating workers for all possible CPUs, not just all online ones This is basically what the normal workqueue code also does, as far as I can tell.

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.
