sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online
Commit 5fbd036b55 ("sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness"), which was supposed to finally sort the cpu_active mess, instead uncovered more. Since CPU_STARTING is ran before setting the cpu online, there's a (small) window where the cpu has active,!online. If during this time there's a wakeup of a task that used to reside on that cpu select_task_rq() will use select_fallback_rq() to compute an alternative cpu to run on since we find !online. select_fallback_rq() however will compute the new cpu against cpu_active, this means that it can return the same cpu it started out with, the !online one, since that cpu is in fact marked active. This results in us trying to scheduling a task on an offline cpu and triggering a WARN in the IPI code. The solution proposed by Chuansheng Liu of setting cpu_active in set_cpu_online() is buggy, firstly not all archs actually use set_cpu_online(), secondly, not all archs call set_cpu_online() with IRQs disabled, this means we would introduce either the same race or the race from fd8a7de17 ("x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPU") -- albeit much narrower. [ By setting online first and active later we have a window of online,!active, fresh and bound kthreads have task_cpu() of 0 and since cpu0 isn't in tsk_cpus_allowed() we end up in select_fallback_rq() which excludes !active, resulting in a reset of ->cpus_allowed and the thread running all over the place. ] The solution is to re-work select_fallback_rq() to require active _and_ online. This makes the active,!online case work as expected, OTOH archs running CPU_STARTING after setting online are now vulnerable to the issue from fd8a7de17 -- these are alpha and blackfin.
