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.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Fix a race between cpuset_attach() and cpu hotplug</title>

<content type='text'>
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>cgroup/cpuset: Fix "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning</title>

<id>2bdfd2825c9662463371e6691b1a794e97fa36b4</id>
<content type='text'>
It was found that a "suspicious RCU usage" lockdep warning was issued
with the rcu_read_lock() call in update_sibling_cpumasks().  It is
because the update_cpumasks_hier() function may sleep. So we have
to release the RCU lock, call update_cpumasks_hier() and reacquire
it afterward.

Also add a percpu_rwsem_assert_held() in update_sibling_cpumasks()
instead of stating that in the comment.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Make child cpusets restrict parents on v1 hierarchy</title>

The commit 1f1562fcd04a ("cgroup/cpuset: Don't let child cpusets
restrict parent in default hierarchy") inteded to relax the check only
on the default hierarchy (or v2 mode) but it dropped the check in v1
too.

This patch returns and separates the legacy-only validations so that
they can be considered only in the v1 mode, which should enforce the old
constraints for the sake of compatibility.

In validate_change(), there is a check since v2.6.12 to make sure that
each of the child cpusets must be a subset of a parent cpuset.  IOW, it
allows child cpusets to restrict what changes can be made to a parent's
"cpuset.cpus". This actually violates one of the core principles of the
default hierarchy where a cgroup higher up in the hierarchy should be
able to change configuration however it sees fit as deligation breaks
down otherwise.

To address this issue, the check is now removed for the default hierarchy
to free parent cpusets from being restricted by child cpusets. The
check will still apply for legacy hierarchy.

There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due
to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other
innocent processes got killed.

It can be reproduced with command:

    $ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status"

(where node 4 is a movable node)

The reason is that in this case, the target cpuset nodes only have
movable zone, while the creation of an OS in docker sometimes needs to
allocate memory in non-movable zones (dma/dma32/normal) like
GFP_HIGHUSER, and the cpuset limit forbids the allocation, then
out-of-memory killing is involved even when normal nodes and movable
nodes both have many free memory.

The OOM killer cannot help to resolve the situation as there is no
usable memory for the request in the cpuset scope.  The only reasonable
measure to take is to fail the allocation right away and have the caller
to deal with it.

So add a check for cases like this in the slowpath of allocation, and
bail out early returning NULL for the allocation.

As page allocation is one of the hottest path in kernel, this check will
hurt all users with sane cpuset configuration, add a static branch check
and detect the abnormal config in cpuset memory binding setup so that
the extra check cost in page allocation is not paid by everyone.

[thanks to Micho Hocko and David Rientjes for suggesting not handling
 it inside OOM code, adding cpuset check, refining comments]

There was a report that starting an Ubuntu in docker while using cpuset
to bind it to movable nodes (a node only has movable zone, like a node
for hotplug or a Persistent Memory node in normal usage) will fail due
to memory allocation failure, and then OOM is involved and many other
innocent processes got killed.

It can be reproduced with command:

    $ docker run -it --rm --cpuset-mems 4 ubuntu:latest bash -c "grep Mems_allowed /proc/self/status"

(where node 4 is a movable node)

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Change references of cpuset_mutex to cpuset_rwsem</title>

Since commit 1243dc518c9d ("cgroup/cpuset: Convert cpuset_mutex to
percpu_rwsem"), cpuset_mutex has been replaced by cpuset_rwsem which is
a percpu rwsem. However, the comments in kernel/cgroup/cpuset.c still
reference cpuset_mutex which are now incorrect.

Change all the references of cpuset_mutex to cpuset_rwsem.
