[ Upstream commit b1bcaed1e3 ]
Currently, the check for whether a partition is populated does not
account for tasks in the cpuset of attaching. This is a corner case
that can leave a task stuck in a partition with no effective CPUs.
The race condition occurs as follows:
cpu0 cpu1
//cpuset A with cpu N
migrate task p to A
cpuset_can_attach
// with effective cpus
// check ok
// cpuset_mutex is not held // clear cpuset.cpus.exclusive
// making effective cpus empty
update_exclusive_cpumask
// tasks_nocpu_error check ok
// empty effective cpus, partition valid
cpuset_attach
...
// task p stays in A, with non-effective cpus.
To fix this issue, this patch introduces cs_is_populated, which considers
tasks in the attaching cpuset. This new helper is used in validate_change
and partition_is_populated.
