cgroup/cpuset: Fix race between newly created partition and dying one
[ Upstream commit a22b3d54de94f82ca057cc2ebf9496fa91ebf698 ]
There is a possible race between removing a cgroup diectory that is
a partition root and the creation of a new partition. The partition
to be removed can be dying but still online, it doesn't not currently
participate in checking for exclusive CPUs conflict, but the exclusive
CPUs are still there in subpartitions_cpus and isolated_cpus. These
two cpumasks are global states that affect the operation of cpuset
partitions. The exclusive CPUs in dying cpusets will only be removed
when cpuset_css_offline() function is called after an RCU delay.
As a result, it is possible that a new partition can be created with
exclusive CPUs that overlap with those of a dying one. When that dying
partition is finally offlined, it removes those overlapping exclusive
CPUs from subpartitions_cpus and maybe isolated_cpus resulting in an
incorrect CPU configuration.
This bug was found when a warning was triggered in
remote_partition_disable() during testing because the subpartitions_cpus
mask was empty.
One possible way to fix this is to iterate the dying cpusets as well and
avoid using the exclusive CPUs in those dying cpusets. However, this
can still cause random partition creation failures or other anomalies
due to racing. A better way to fix this race is to reset the partition
state at the moment when a cpuset is being killed.
Introduce a new css_killed() CSS function pointer and call it, if
defined, before setting CSS_DYING flag in kill_css(). Also update the
css_is_dying() helper to use the CSS_DYING flag introduced by commit
33c35aa48178 ("cgroup: Prevent kill_css() from being called more than
once") for proper synchronization.
Add a new cpuset_css_killed() function to reset the partition state of
a valid partition root if it is being killed.
