    sched/core: Clear the root_domain cpumasks in init_rootdomain() · 8295c699
    Xunlei Pang authored
    root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var()
    contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance,
    When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if
    rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this
    violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling
    using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed)
    belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another
    root domain.
    
    The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var()
    instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask
    allocation, thereby addressing the issues.
    
    Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers:
    dlo_mask, span, and online.
