Subject: [PATCH rcu 07/12] rcu/rcuscale: Fix smp_processor_id()-in-preemptible warnings
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2022 15:58:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220620225817.3843106-7-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220620225814.GA3842995@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>

From: Zqiang <qiang1.zhang@intel.com>

Systems built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y can trigger the following
BUG while running the rcuscale performance test:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: rcu_scale_write/69
CPU: 0 PID: 66 Comm: rcu_scale_write Not tainted 5.18.0-rc7-next-20220517-yoctodev-standard+
caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20
Call Trace:
<TASK>
dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x5e
dump_stack+0x10/0x12
check_preemption_disabled+0xdf/0xf0
debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20
rcu_scale_writer+0x2b5/0x580
kthread+0x177/0x1b0
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
</TASK>

Reproduction method:
runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 8" bootparams="isolcpus=2,3
nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1 rcuscale.shutdown=false
rcuscale.gp_async=true" -d

The problem is that the rcu_scale_writer() kthreads fail to set the
PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flags, which causes is_percpu_thread() to assume
that the kthread's affinity might change at any time, thus the BUG
noted above.

This commit therefore causes rcu_scale_writer() to set PF_NO_SETAFFINITY
in its kthread's ->flags field, thus preventing this BUG.
