Subject: [PATCH v13 6/8] blk-mq: prevent offlining hk CPUs with associated online isolated CPUs
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 20:55:07 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513005509.135966-7-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513005509.135966-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>

From: Daniel Wagner <wagi@kernel.org>

When isolcpus=io_queue is enabled and the last housekeeping CPU
for a given hctx goes offline, no CPU would be left to handle I/O.
To prevent I/O stalls, disallow offlining housekeeping CPUs that are
still serving isolated CPUs.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Wagner <wagi@kernel.org>
Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>
[atomlin:
    - Removed duplicate paragraph from commit message
    - Allow offlining of non-housekeeping CPUs
    - Fix logic flaw that prematurely rejected valid offline requests
    - Iterated over cpu_online_mask and manually reverse-mapped CPUs to
      correctly detect isolated CPUs, as blk_mq_map_swqueue()
      intentionally prunes them from hctx->cpumask
    - Prevented a TOCTOU NULL pointer dereference race against
      concurrent device teardown by using READ_ONCE() to fetch the disk
      pointer]
