This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled sched/core: Clear the root_domain cpumasks in init_rootdomain() to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt22. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 87c6d4bce3f88d0e56a7c5b4a619fecc9604afda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xunlei Pang <xlpang@redhat.com> Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 19:52:59 +0800 Subject: sched/core: Clear the root_domain cpumasks in init_rootdomain() commit 8295c69925ad53ec32ca54ac9fc194ff21bc40e2 upstream. root_domain::rto_mask allocated through alloc_cpumask_var() contains garbage data, this may cause problems. For instance, When doing pull_rt_task(), it may do useless iterations if rto_mask retains some extra garbage bits. Worse still, this violates the isolated domain rule for clustered scheduling using cpuset, because the tasks(with all the cpus allowed) belongs to one root domain can be pulled away into another root domain. The patch cleans the garbage by using zalloc_cpumask_var() instead of alloc_cpumask_var() for root_domain::rto_mask allocation, thereby addressing the issues. Do the same thing for root_domain's other cpumask memembers: dlo_mask, span, and online.
