topology.c::get_group() relies on the assumption that non-NUMA domains do not partially overlap. Zeng Tao pointed out in [1] that such topology descriptions, while completely bogus, can end up being exposed to the scheduler. In his example (8 CPUs, 2-node system), we end up with: MC span for CPU3 == 3-7 MC span for CPU4 == 4-7 The first pass through get_group(3, sdd@MC) will result in the following sched_group list: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 ^ / `----------------' And a later pass through get_group(4, sdd@MC) will "corrupt" that to: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 ^ / `-----------' which will completely break things like 'while (sg != sd->groups)' when using CPU3's base sched_domain. There already are some architecture-specific checks in place such as x86/kernel/smpboot.c::topology.sane(), but this is something we can detect in the core scheduler, so it seems worthwhile to do so. Warn and abort the construction of the sched domains if such a broken topology description is detected. Note that this is somewhat expensive (O(t.c²), 't' non-NUMA topology levels and 'c' CPUs) and could be gated under SCHED_DEBUG if deemed necessary. Testing ======= Dietmar managed to reproduce this using the following qemu incantation: $ qemu-system-aarch64 -kernel ./Image -hda ./qemu-image-aarch64.img \ -append 'root=/dev/vda console=ttyAMA0 loglevel=8 sched_debug' -smp \ cores=8 --nographic -m 512 -cpu cortex-a53 -machine virt -numa \ node,cpus=0-2,nodeid=0 -numa node,cpus=3-7,nodeid=1 alongside the following drivers/base/arch_topology.c hack (AIUI wouldn't be needed if '-smp cores=X, sockets=Y' would work with qemu): 8<--- @@ -465,6 +465,9 @@ void update_siblings_masks(unsigned int cpuid) if (cpuid_topo->package_id != cpu_topo->package_id) continue; + if ((cpu < 4 && cpuid > 3) || (cpu > 3 && cpuid < 4)) + continue; + cpumask_set_cpu(cpuid, &cpu_topo->core_sibling); cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &cpuid_topo->core_sibling); 8<--- [1]: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1577088979-8545-1-git-send-email-prime.zeng@hisilicon.comReported-by: Zeng Tao <prime.zeng@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200115160915.22575-1-valentin.schneider@arm.com
