[ Upstream commit 91dcf1e8068e9a8823e419a7a34ff4341275fb70 ]

When local group is fully busy but its average load is above system load,
computing the imbalance will overflow and local group is not the best
target for pulling this load.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Add cpuset_can_fork() and cpuset_cancel_fork() methods</title>

commit eee87853794187f6adbe19533ed79c8b44b36a91 upstream.

In the case of CLONE_INTO_CGROUP, not all cpusets are ready to accept
new tasks. It is too late to check that in cpuset_fork(). So we need
to add the cpuset_can_fork() and cpuset_cancel_fork() methods to
pre-check it before we can allow attachment to a different cpuset.

We also need to set the attach_in_progress flag to alert other code
that a new task is going to be added to the cpuset.

<title>cgroup/cpuset: Make cpuset_fork() handle CLONE_INTO_CGROUP properly</title>

commit 42a11bf5c5436e91b040aeb04063be1710bb9f9c upstream.

By default, the clone(2) syscall spawn a child process into the same
cgroup as its parent. With the use of the CLONE_INTO_CGROUP flag
introduced by commit ef2c41cf38a7 ("clone3: allow spawning processes
into cgroups"), the child will be spawned into a different cgroup which
is somewhat similar to writing the child's tid into "cgroup.threads".

The current cpuset_fork() method does not properly handle the
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case where the cpuset of the child may be different
from that of its parent.  Update the cpuset_fork() method to treat the
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP case similar to cpuset_attach().

Since the newly cloned task has not been running yet, its actual
memory usage isn't known. So it is not necessary to make change to mm
in cpuset_fork().

commit ba9182a89626d5f83c2ee4594f55cb9c1e60f0e2 upstream.

After a successful cpuset_can_attach() call which increments the
attach_in_progress flag, either cpuset_cancel_attach() or cpuset_attach()
will be called later. In cpuset_attach(), tasks in cpuset_attach_wq,
if present, will be woken up at the end. That is not the case in
cpuset_cancel_attach(). So missed wakeup is possible if the attach
operation is somehow cancelled. Fix that by doing the wakeup in
cpuset_cancel_attach() as well.

commit 292fd843de26c551856e66faf134512c52dd78b4 upstream.

It was found that commit 7a2127e66a00 ("cpuset: Call
set_cpus_allowed_ptr() with appropriate mask for task") introduced a bug
that corrupted "cpuset.cpus" of a partition root when it was updated.

It is because the tmp-&gt;new_cpus field of the passed tmp parameter
of update_parent_subparts_cpumask() should not be used at all as
it contains important cpumask data that should not be overwritten.
Fix it by using tmp-&gt;addmask instead.

Also update update_cpumask() to make sure that trialcs-&gt;cpu_allowed
will not be corrupted until it is no longer needed.

commit fcdb1eda5302599045bb366e679cccb4216f3873 upstream.

We need to reset forceidle_sum to 0 when reading from root, since the
bstat we accumulate into is stack allocated.

To make this more robust, just replace the existing cputime reset with a
memset of the overall bstat.

If a trace instance has a failure with its snapshot code, the error
message is to be written to that instance's buffer. But currently, the
message is written to the top level buffer. Worse yet, it may also disable
the top level buffer and not the instance that had the issue.

syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency between cpu_hotplug_lock

static_branch_inc() which holds cpu_hotplug_lock.

[ Upstream commit 57dcd64c7e036299ef526b400a8d12b8a2352f26 ]

syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency between cpu_hotplug_lock
and freezer_mutex, for commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core
freezer logic") replaced atomic_inc() in freezer_apply_state() with
static_branch_inc() which holds cpu_hotplug_lock.

commit 3dd4432549415f3c65dd52d5c687629efbf4ece1 upstream.

Use the maple tree in RCU mode for VMA tracking.

The maple tree tracks the stack and is able to update the pivot
(lower/upper boundary) in-place to allow the page fault handler to write
to the tree while holding just the mmap read lock.  This is safe as the
writes to the stack have a guard VMA which ensures there will always be
a NULL in the direction of the growth and thus will only update a pivot.

It is possible, but not recommended, to have VMAs that grow up/down
without guard VMAs.  syzbot has constructed a testcase which sets up a
VMA to grow and consume the empty space.  Overwriting the entire NULL
entry causes the tree to be altered in a way that is not safe for
concurrent readers; the readers may see a node being rewritten or one
that does not match the maple state they are using.

Enabling RCU mode allows the concurrent readers to see a stable node and
will return the expected result.
