sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces
There are a number of issues:
1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets)
copy_process():
sched_fork()
child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */
if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
ns_cgroup_clone()
cgroup_clone()
mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
cgroup_attach_task()
ss->can_attach()
ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
cpuset_attach_task()
set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
while (child->state == TASK_WAKING)
cpu_relax();
will deadlock the system.
2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process
So even if the above would work we still have:
copy_process():
if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy)
ns_cgroup_clone()
cgroup_clone()
mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex)
cgroup_attach_task()
ss->can_attach()
ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ]
cpuset_attach_task()
set_cpus_allowed_ptr();
...
p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed
over-writing the modified cpus_allowed.
3) fork() vs hotplug
if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child
gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit
will meet with fan.
Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into
wake_up_new_task().
