sched: Fix fork vs hotplug vs cpuset namespaces
There are a number of issues: 1) TASK_WAKING vs cgroup_clone (cpusets) copy_process(): sched_fork() child->state = TASK_WAKING; /* waiting for wake_up_new_task() */ if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy) ns_cgroup_clone() cgroup_clone() mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex) mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex) cgroup_attach_task() ss->can_attach() ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ] cpuset_attach_task() set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); while (child->state == TASK_WAKING) cpu_relax(); will deadlock the system. 2) cgroup_clone (cpusets) vs copy_process So even if the above would work we still have: copy_process(): if (current->nsproxy != p->nsproxy) ns_cgroup_clone() cgroup_clone() mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex) mutex_lock(cgroup_mutex) cgroup_attach_task() ss->can_attach() ss->attach() [ -> cpuset_attach() ] cpuset_attach_task() set_cpus_allowed_ptr(); ... p->cpus_allowed = current->cpus_allowed over-writing the modified cpus_allowed. 3) fork() vs hotplug if we unplug the child's cpu after the sanity check when the child gets attached to the task_list but before wake_up_new_task() shit will meet with fan. Solve all these issues by moving fork cpu selection into wake_up_new_task(). Reported-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Tested-by: Serge E.
