cgroup/cpuset: Don't filter offline CPUs in cpuset_cpus_allowed() for top cpuset tasks
Since commit 8f9ea86f ("sched: Always preserve the user requested cpumask"), relax_compatible_cpus_allowed_ptr() is calling __sched_setaffinity() unconditionally. This helps to expose a bug in the current cpuset hotplug code where the cpumasks of the tasks in the top cpuset are not updated at all when some CPUs become online or offline. It is likely caused by the fact that some of the tasks in the top cpuset, like percpu kthreads, cannot have their cpu affinity changed. One way to reproduce this as suggested by Peter is: - boot machine - offline all CPUs except one - taskset -p ffffffff $$ - online all CPUs Fix this by allowing cpuset_cpus_allowed() to return a wider mask that includes offline CPUs for those tasks that are in the top cpuset. For tasks not in the top cpuset, the old rule applies and only online CPUs will be returned in the mask since hotplug events will update their cpumasks accordingly.
