sched: move_task_off_dead_cpu(): Take rq->lock around select_fallback…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
…_rq()

move_task_off_dead_cpu()->select_fallback_rq() reads/updates ->cpus_allowed
lockless. We can race with set_cpus_allowed() running in parallel.

Change it to take rq->lock around select_fallback_rq(). Note that it is not
trivial to move this spin_lock() into select_fallback_rq(), we must recheck
the task was not migrated after we take the lock and other callers do not
need this lock.

To avoid the races with other callers of select_fallback_rq() which rely on
TASK_WAKING, we also check p->state != TASK_WAKING and do nothing otherwise.
The owner of TASK_WAKING must update ->cpus_allowed and choose the correct
CPU anyway, and the subsequent __migrate_task() is just meaningless because
p->se.on_rq must be false.

Alternatively, we could change select_task_rq() to take rq->lock right
after it calls sched_class->select_task_rq(), but this looks a bit ugly.

Also, change it to not assume irqs are disabled and absorb __migrate_task_irq().
