Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: initialize cpumask of wq_numa_possible_cpumask
Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2014 02:21:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53B98591.5030000@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)

When hot-adding and onlining CPU, kernel panic occurs, showing following
call trace.

In my investigation, I found the root cause is wq_numa_possible_cpumask.
All entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask is allocated by
alloc_cpumask_var_node(). And these entries are used without initializing.
So these entries have wrong value.

When hot-adding and onlining CPU, wq_update_unbound_numa() is called.
wq_update_unbound_numa() calls alloc_unbound_pwq(). And alloc_unbound_pwq()
calls get_unbound_pool(). In get_unbound_pool(), worker_pool->node is set
as follow:

#kernel/workqueue.c
3592         /* if cpumask is contained inside a NUMA node, we belong to that node */
3593         if (wq_numa_enabled) {
3594                 for_each_node(node) {
3595                         if (cpumask_subset(pool->attrs->cpumask,
3596                                            wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node])) {
3597                                 pool->node = node;
3598                                 break;
3599                         }
3600                 }
3601         }

But wq_numa_possible_cpumask[node] does not have correct cpumask. So, wrong
node is selected. As a result, kernel panic occurs.

By this patch, all entries of wq_numa_possible_cpumask are allocated by
zalloc_cpumask_var_node to initialize them. And the panic disappeared.
