      sched: Fix balance vs hotplug race · 6ad4c188
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      Since (e761b772: cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo
      sched domain managment) we have cpu_active_mask which is suppose to rule
      scheduler migration and load-balancing, except it never (fully) did.
      
      The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up()
      where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because
      select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the
      current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the
      root_domain.
      
      However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the
      cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can
      race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right.
      
      Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on
      CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

      cpumask: Fix generate_sched_domains() for UP · e1b8090b
      Geert Uytterhoeven authored
      Commit acc3f5d7 ("cpumask:
      Partition_sched_domains takes array of cpumask_var_t") changed
      the function signature of generate_sched_domains() for the
      CONFIG_SMP=y case, but forgot to update the corresponding
      function for the CONFIG_SMP=n case, causing:
      
        kernel/cpuset.c:2073: warning: passing argument 1 of 'generate_sched_domains' from incompatible pointer type
