[ Upstream commit d505b8af58912ae1e1a211fabc9995b19bd40828 ]

When users write some huge number into cpu.cfs_quota_us or
cpu.rt_runtime_us, overflow might happen during to_ratio() shifts of
schedulable checks.

to_ratio() could be altered to avoid unnecessary internal overflow, but
min_cfs_quota_period is less than 1 &lt;&lt; BW_SHIFT, so a cutoff would still
be needed. Set a cap MAX_BW for cfs_quota_us and rt_runtime_us to
prevent overflow.

<title>sched/core: Fix illegal RCU from offline CPUs</title>

[ Upstream commit bf2c59fce4074e55d622089b34be3a6bc95484fb ]

In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the
subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the
call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in
lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or
debugobjects below.

Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch
which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit()
from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to
&amp;init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()),
but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&amp;init_mm) in
smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&amp;init_mm) in finish_cpu().

  WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
  -----------------------------
  kernel/workqueue.c:710 RCU or wq_pool_mutex should be held!

[ Upstream commit 5a6d6a6ccb5f48ca8cf7c6d64ff83fd9c7999390 ]

In order to prevent possible hardlockup of sched_cfs_period_timer()
loop, loop count is introduced to denote whether to scale quota and
period or not. However, scale is done between forwarding period timer
and refilling cfs bandwidth runtime, which means that period timer is
forwarded with old "period" while runtime is refilled with scaled
"quota".

Move do_sched_cfs_period_timer() before scaling to solve this.

Stefano reported a crash with using SQPOLL with io_uring:

  CPU: 2 PID: 1307 Comm: io_uring-sq Not tainted 5.7.0-rc7 #11

which is task_numa_work() oopsing on current-&gt;mm being NULL.

The task work is queued by task_tick_numa(), which checks if current-&gt;mm is
NULL at the time of the call. But this state isn't necessarily persistent,
if the kthread is using use_mm() to temporarily adopt the mm of a task.

Change the task_tick_numa() check to exclude kernel threads in general,
as it doesn't make sense to attempt ot balance for kthreads anyway.

Although not exactly identical, unthrottle_cfs_rq() and enqueue_task_fair()
are quite close and follow the same sequence for enqueuing an entity in the
cfs hierarchy. Modify unthrottle_cfs_rq() to use the same pattern as
enqueue_task_fair(). This fixes a problem already faced with the latter and
add an optimization in the last for_each_sched_entity loop.

sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning some more

The recent patch, fe61468b2cb (sched/fair: Fix enqueue_task_fair warning)
did not fully resolve the issues with the rq-&gt;tmp_alone_branch !=
&amp;rq-&gt;leaf_cfs_rq_list warning in enqueue_task_fair. There is a case where
the first for_each_sched_entity loop exits due to on_rq, having incompletely
updated the list.  In this case the second for_each_sched_entity loop can
further modify se. The later code to fix up the list management fails to do
what is needed because se does not point to the sched_entity which broke out
of the first loop. The list is not fixed up because the throttled parent was
already added back to the list by a task enqueue in a parallel child hierarchy.

Address this by calling list_add_leaf_cfs_rq if there are throttled parents
while doing the second for_each_sched_entity loop.

uclamp_fork() resets the uclamp values to their default when the
reset-on-fork flag is set. It also checks whether the task has a RT
policy, and sets its uclamp.min to 1024 accordingly. However, during
reset-on-fork, the task's policy is lowered to SCHED_NORMAL right after,
hence leading to an erroneous uclamp.min setting for the new task if it
was forked from RT.

Fix this by removing the unnecessary check on rt_task() in
uclamp_fork() as this doesn't make sense if the reset-on-fork flag is
set.

<title>sched/isolation: Allow "isolcpus=" to skip unknown sub-parameters</title>

The "isolcpus=" parameter allows sub-parameters before the cpulist is
specified, and if the parser detects an unknown sub-parameters the whole
parameter will be ignored.

This design is incompatible with itself when new sub-parameters are added.
An older kernel will not recognize the new sub-parameter and will
invalidate the whole parameter so the CPU isolation will not take
effect. It emits a warning:

    isolcpus: Error, unknown flag

The better and compatible way is to allow "isolcpus=" to skip unknown
sub-parameters, so that even if new sub-parameters are added an older
kernel will still be able to behave as usual even if with the new
sub-parameter specified on the command line.

Ideally this should have been there when the first sub-parameter for
"isolcpus=" was introduced.
