sched/core: Mitigate race cpus_share_cache()/update_top_cache_domain()
[ Upstream commit 42dc938a590c96eeb429e1830123fef2366d9c80 ] Nothing protects the access to the per_cpu variable sd_llc_id. When testing the same CPU (i.e. this_cpu == that_cpu), a race condition exists with update_top_cache_domain(). One scenario being: CPU1 CPU2 ================================================================== per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => 0 partition_sched_domains_locked() detach_destroy_domains() cpus_share_cache(CPUX, CPUX) update_top_cache_domain(CPUX) per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => 0 per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) = CPUX per_cpu(sd_llc_id, CPUX) => CPUX return false ttwu_queue_cond() wouldn't catch smp_processor_id() == cpu and the result is a warning triggered from ttwu_queue_wakelist(). Avoid a such race in cpus_share_cache() by always returning true when this_cpu == that_cpu. Fixes: 518cd6234178 ("sched: Only queue remote wakeups when crossing cache boundaries") Reported-by: Jing-Ting Wu <jing-ting.wu@mediatek.com> Signed-off-by: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211104175120.857087-1-vincent.donnefort@arm.com Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
