cpuset: handle race between CPU hotplug and cpuset_hotplug_work
commit 28b89b9e6f7b6c8fef7b3af39828722bca20cfee upstream.
A discrepancy between cpu_online_mask and cpuset's effective_cpus
mask is inevitable during hotplug since cpuset defers updating of
effective_cpus mask using a workqueue, during which time nothing
prevents the system from more hotplug operations. For that reason
guarantee_online_cpus() walks up the cpuset hierarchy until it finds
an intersection under the assumption that top cpuset's effective_cpus
mask intersects with cpu_online_mask even with such a race occurring.
However a sequence of CPU hotplugs can open a time window, during which
none of the effective CPUs in the top cpuset intersect with
cpu_online_mask.
For example when there are 4 possible CPUs 0-3 and only CPU0 is online:
======================== ===========================
cpu_online_mask top_cpuset.effective_cpus
======================== ===========================
echo 1 > cpu2/online.
CPU hotplug notifier woke up hotplug work but not yet scheduled.
[0,2] [0]
echo 0 > cpu0/online.
The workqueue is still runnable.
[2] [0]
======================== ===========================
Now there is no intersection between cpu_online_mask and
top_cpuset.effective_cpus. Thus invoking sys_sched_setaffinity() at
this moment can cause following:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000d0

The top cpuset's effective_cpus are guaranteed to be identical to
cpu_online_mask eventually. Hence fall back to cpu_online_mask when
there is no intersection between top cpuset's effective_cpus and
cpu_online_mask.
