commit 2685027fca387b602ae565bff17895188b803988 upstream.

There are 3 places where the cpu and node masks of the top cpuset can
be initialized in the order they are executed:
 1) start_kernel -&gt; cpuset_init()
 2) start_kernel -&gt; cgroup_init() -&gt; cpuset_bind()
 3) kernel_init_freeable() -&gt; do_basic_setup() -&gt; cpuset_init_smp()

The first cpuset_init() call just sets all the bits in the masks.
The second cpuset_bind() call sets cpus_allowed and mems_allowed to the
default v2 values. The third cpuset_init_smp() call sets them back to
v1 values.

For systems with cgroup v2 setup, cpuset_bind() is called once.  As a
result, cpu and memory node hot add may fail to update the cpu and node
masks of the top cpuset to include the newly added cpu or node in a
cgroup v2 environment.

For systems with cgroup v1 setup, cpuset_bind() is called again by
rebind_subsystem() when the v1 cpuset filesystem is mounted as shown
in the dmesg log below with an instrumented kernel.

  [    2.609781] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 1
  [    3.079473] cpuset_init_smp() called
  [    7.103710] cpuset_bind() called - v2 = 0

smp_init() is called after the first two init functions.  So we don't
have a complete list of active cpus and memory nodes until later in
cpuset_init_smp() which is the right time to set up effective_cpus
and effective_mems.

To fix this cgroup v2 mask setup problem, the potentially incorrect
cpus_allowed &amp; mems_allowed setting in cpuset_init_smp() are removed.
For cgroup v2 systems, the initial cpuset_bind() call will set the masks
correctly.  For cgroup v1 systems, the second call to cpuset_bind()
will do the right setup.

commit 05c7b7a92cc87ff8d7fde189d0fade250697573c upstream.

As previously discussed(https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/1/20/51),
cpuset_attach() is affected with similar cpu hotplug race,
as follow scenario:

     cpuset_attach()				cpu hotplug
    ---------------------------            ----------------------
    down_write(cpuset_rwsem)
    guarantee_online_cpus() // (load cpus_attach)
					sched_cpu_deactivate
					  set_cpu_active()
					  // will change cpu_active_mask
    set_cpus_allowed_ptr(cpus_attach)
      __set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked()
       // (if the intersection of cpus_attach and
         cpu_active_mask is empty, will return -EINVAL)
    up_write(cpuset_rwsem)

To avoid races such as described above, protect cpuset_attach() call
with cpu_hotplug_lock.

<title>cpuset: restore sanity to cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback()</title>

[ Upstream commit d477f8c202d1f0d4791ab1263ca7657bbe5cf79e ]

In the case that a process is constrained by taskset(1) (i.e.
sched_setaffinity(2)) to a subset of available cpus, and all of those are
subsequently offlined, the scheduler will set tsk-&gt;cpus_allowed to
the current value of task_cs(tsk)-&gt;effective_cpus.

This is done via a call to do_set_cpus_allowed() in the context of
cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback() made by the scheduler when this case is
detected. This is the only call made to cpuset_cpus_allowed_fallback()
in the latest mainline kernel.

However, this is not sane behavior.

I will demonstrate this on a system running the latest upstream kernel
with the following initial configuration:

	# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
	Cpus_allowed:	ffffffff,fffffff
	Cpus_allowed_list:	0-63

(Where cpus 32-63 are provided via smt.)

If we limit our current shell process to cpu2 only and then offline it
and reonline it:

	# taskset -p 4 $$
	pid 2272's current affinity mask: ffffffffffffffff
	pid 2272's new affinity mask: 4

	# echo off &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
	# dmesg | tail -3
	[ 2195.866089] process 2272 (bash) no longer affine to cpu2
	[ 2195.872700] IRQ 114: no longer affine to CPU2
	[ 2195.879128] smpboot: CPU 2 is now offline

	# echo on &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
	# dmesg | tail -1
	[ 2617.043572] smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 2 APIC 0x4

We see that our current process now has an affinity mask containing
every cpu available on the system _except_ the one we originally
constrained it to:

	# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
	Cpus_allowed:   ffffffff,fffffffb
	Cpus_allowed_list:      0-1,3-63

This is not sane behavior, as the scheduler can now not only place the
process on previously forbidden cpus, it can't even schedule it on
the cpu it was originally constrained to!

Other cases result in even more exotic affinity masks. Take for instance
a process with an affinity mask containing only cpus provided by smt at
the moment that smt is toggled, in a configuration such as the following:

	# taskset -p f000000000 $$
	# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
	Cpus_allowed:	000000f0,00000000
	Cpus_allowed_list:	36-39

A double toggle of smt results in the following behavior:

	# echo off &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
	# echo on &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/smt/control
	# grep -i cpus /proc/$$/status
	Cpus_allowed:	ffffff00,ffffffff
	Cpus_allowed_list:	0-31,40-63

This is even less sane than the previous case, as the new affinity mask
excludes all smt-provided cpus with ids less than those that were
previously in the affinity mask, as well as those that were actually in
the mask.

With this patch applied, both of these cases end in the following state:

	# grep -i cpu /proc/$$/status
	Cpus_allowed:	ffffffff,ffffffff
	Cpus_allowed_list:	0-63

The original policy is discarded. Though not ideal, it is the simplest way
to restore sanity to this fallback case without reinventing the cpuset
wheel that rolls down the kernel just fine in cgroup v2. A user who wishes
for the previous affinity mask to be restored in this fallback case can use
that mechanism instead.

This patch modifies scheduler behavior by instead resetting the mask to
task_cs(tsk)-&gt;cpus_allowed by default, and cpu_possible mask in legacy
mode. I tested the cases above on both modes.

Note that the scheduler uses this fallback mechanism if and only if
_every_ other valid avenue has been traveled, and it is the last resort
before calling BUG().

Cpusets vs. suspend-resume is _completely_ broken. And it got noticed
because it now resulted in non-cpuset usage breaking too.

On suspend cpuset_cpu_inactive() doesn't call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() because it doesn't want to move tasks about,
there is no need, all tasks are frozen and won't run again until after
we've resumed everything.

But this means that when we finally do call into
cpuset_update_active_cpus() after resuming the last frozen cpu in
cpuset_cpu_active(), the top_cpuset will not have any difference with
the cpu_active_mask and this it will not in fact do _anything_.

So the cpuset configuration will not be restored. This was largely
hidden because we would unconditionally create identity domains and
mobile users would not in fact use cpusets much. And servers what do use
cpusets tend to not suspend-resume much.

An addition problem is that we'd not in fact wait for the cpuset work to
finish before resuming the tasks, allowing spurious migrations outside
of the specified domains.

Fix the rebuild by introducing cpuset_force_rebuild() and fix the
ordering with cpuset_wait_for_hotplug().

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "Several notable changes this cycle:

   - Thread mode was merged. This will be used for cgroup2 support for
     CPU and possibly other controllers. Unfortunately, CPU controller
     cgroup2 support didn't make this pull request but most contentions
     have been resolved and the support is likely to be merged before
     the next merge window.

   - cgroup.stat now shows the number of descendant cgroups.

   - cpuset now can enable the easier-to-configure v2 behavior on v1
     hierarchy"

* 'for-4.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (21 commits)
  cpuset: Allow v2 behavior in v1 cgroup
  cgroup: Add mount flag to enable cpuset to use v2 behavior in v1 cgroup
  cgroup: remove unneeded checks
  cgroup: misc changes
  cgroup: short-circuit cset_cgroup_from_root() on the default hierarchy
  cgroup: re-use the parent pointer in cgroup_destroy_locked()

<title>mm: replace TIF_MEMDIE checks by tsk_is_oom_victim</title>

TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
path.  tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all
tasks (threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.

Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because we
cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting
otherwise a !TIF_MEMDIE task could interfere after oom_disbale returns.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Add 'cross-release' support to lockdep, which allows APIs like
   completions, where it's not the 'owner' who releases the lock, to be
   tracked. It's all activated automatically under
   CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.

 - Clean up (restructure) the x86 atomics op implementation to be more
   readable, in preparation of KASAN annotations. (Dmitry Vyukov)

 - Fix static keys (Paolo Bonzini)

 - Add killable versions of down_read() et al (Kirill Tkhai)

 - Rework and fix jump_label locking (Marc Zyngier, Paolo Bonzini)

 - Rework (and fix) tlb_flush_pending() barriers (Peter Zijlstra)

 - Remove smp_mb__before_spinlock() and convert its usages, introduce
   smp_mb__after_spinlock() (Peter Zijlstra)

* 'locking-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (56 commits)
  locking/lockdep/selftests: Fix mixed read-write ABBA tests
  sched/completion: Avoid unnecessary stack allocation for COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK()
  acpi/nfit: Fix COMPLETION_INITIALIZER_ONSTACK() abuse
  locking/pvqspinlock: Relax cmpxchg's to improve performance on some architectures
  smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data
  locking/lockdep: Untangle xhlock history save/restore from task independence
  locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Disable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_REFCOUNT for the time being
  futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour
  Documentation/locking/atomic: Finish the document...
  locking/lockdep: Fix workqueue crossrelease annotation
  workqueue/lockdep: 'Fix' flush_work() annotation
  locking/lockdep/selftests: Add mixed read-write ABBA tests
  mm, locking/barriers: Clarify tlb_flush_pending() barriers
  locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE and CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS truly non-interactive
  locking/lockdep: Explicitly initialize wq_barrier::done::map
  locking/lockdep: Rename CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETE to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_COMPLETIONS
  locking/lockdep: Reword title of LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE config
  locking/lockdep: Make CONFIG_LOCKDEP_CROSSRELEASE part of CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
  locking/refcounts, x86/asm: Implement fast refcount overflow protection
  locking/lockdep: Fix the rollback and overwrite detection logic in crossrelease
