[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: fix sleeping function called from invalid context

[Gu Zheng]

When running with the kernel(3.15-rc7+), the follow bug occurs:

The cause is that cpuset_mems_allowed() try to take mutex_lock(&callback_mutex)
under the rcu_read_lock(which was hold in __mpol_dup()). And in cpuset_mems_allowed(),
the access to cpuset is under rcu_read_lock, so in __mpol_dup, we can reduce the
rcu_read_lock protection region to protect the access to cpuset only in
current_cpuset_is_being_rebound(). So that we can avoid this bug.

cpuset_being_rebound then cpuset_being_rebound can change immediately
after rcu_read_unlock() and `ret' is now wrong.

IMO, whether cpuset_being_rebound changed or not is immaterial here, we
just want to know whether the cpuset is being rebound at that point.

I think your patch addresses the problem that you're reporting but misses 
the larger problem with cpuset.mems rebinding on fork().  When the 
forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it 
races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() 
then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated.

I think your patch addresses the problem that you're reporting but misses 
the larger problem with cpuset.mems rebinding on fork().  When the 
forker's task_struct is duplicated (which includes ->mems_allowed) and it 
races with an update to cpuset_being_rebound in update_tasks_nodemask() 
then the task's mems_allowed doesn't get updated.

Yes, the rcu lock is not providing protection for any critical section 
here that requires (1) the forker's cpuset to be stored in 
cpuset_being_rebound or (2) the forked thread's cpuset to be rebound by 
the cpuset nodemask update, and no race involving the two.

It needs to be slightly rewritten to work properly without negatively 
impacting the latency of fork().  Do you have the cycles to do it?

To be honest, I'm busy with other schedule. And if you(or other

Yes, this is a long-standing issue. Besides the race you described, the child
task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the
child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist.

I remember Tejun once said he wanted to disallow task migration between
cgroups during fork, and that should fix this problem.

Yes, this is a long-standing issue. Besides the race you described, the child
task's mems_allowed can be wrong if the cpuset's nodemask changes before the
child has been added to the cgroup's tasklist.

I remember Tejun once said he wanted to disallow task migration between
cgroups during fork, and that should fix this problem.

Ok, I don't want to fix it in cpusets if cgroups will eventually prevent 
it, so I need an understanding of the long term plan.  Will cgroups 
continue to allow migration during fork(), Tejun?

It wouldn't be too difficult with a cgroup post fork callback into the 
cpuset code to rebind the nodemask if it has changed, but with my above 
concern those might be yanked out eventually :)

I'm having trouble remembering but yeah enforcing stricter behavior
across fork could be beneficial.  Hmmm... the problem with making
forks exclusive against migrations is that we'll end up adding more
locking to the fork path which isn't too nice.

Hmmm... other controllers (cgroup_freezer) can reliably synchronize
the child's state to the cgroup it belongs to.  Why can't cpuset?  Is
there something fundamentally missing in the cgroup API?

I don't think the suggested patch breaks anything more than it was
broken before and we should probably apply it for the time being.  Li?

cgroup_freezer uses the fork callback. We can also do this for cpuset as
suggested by David, which adds a little bit overhead to the fork path.

Gu Zheng, can you please respin the patch with updated explanation on
