Subject: [PATCH v2] rcu: Keeping rcu-related kthreads running on housekeeping CPUS
Date: Thu,  9 Feb 2023 18:27:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230209102730.974465-1-qiang1.zhang@intel.com> (raw)

For kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y and CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y,
when passing cpulist to "isolcpus=", "nohz_full=" and "rcu_nocbs="
bootparams, after system starting, the rcu-related kthreads(include
rcu_gp, rcuog*, rcuop* kthreads etc) will running on housekeeping
CPUs, but for cpulist contains CPU0, the result will deferent, these
rcu-related kthreads will be restricted to running on CPU0.

Although invoke kthread_create() to spwan rcu-related kthreads and
when it's starting, invoke set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to allowed cpumaks
is housekeeping_cpumask(HK_TYPE_KTHREAD), but due to these rcu-related
kthreads are created before starting other CPUS, that is to say, at
this time, only CPU0 is online, when these rcu-related kthreads running
and set allowed cpumaks is housekeeping cpumask, if find that only CPU0
is online and CPU0 exists in "isolcpus=", "nohz_full=" and "rcu_nocbs="
bootparams, invoke set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will return error.

set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
 ->__set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
   ->__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked
     {
                bool kthread = p->flags & PF_KTHREAD;
                ....
                if (kthread || is_migration_disabled(p))
                        cpu_valid_mask = cpu_online_mask;
                ....
                dest_cpu = cpumask_any_and_distribute(cpu_valid_mask, ctx->new_mask);
                if (dest_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) {
                        ret = -EINVAL;
                        goto out;
                }
                ....
     }

At this time, only CPU0 is set in the cpu_online_mask, the ctx->new_mask
is housekeeping cpumask and not contains CPU0, this will result dest_cpu
is illegal cpu value, the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will return -EINVAL and
failed to set housekeeping cpumask.

This commit therefore add additional cpus_allowed_ptr() call in CPU hotplug
path. and reset the CPU affinity of rcuboost, rcuog, rcuop kthreads after
all other CPUs are online.
