Hi,
I tested this patchset on today's tip.git's master branch
(981316394e35 ("Merge branch 'locking/urgent'")).
Every time the kernel boots with 32 CPUs (I'm running the Linux VM on
Hyper-V), I get the below warning.
(BTW, with 8 or 16 CPUs, I don't see the warning).
By printing the cpumasks with "%*pbl", I know the warning happens because:
new_mask = 16-31
cpu_online_mask= 0-16
cpu_active_mask= 0-15
p->nr_cpus_allowed=16
2374 if (p->flags & PF_KTHREAD) {
2375 /*
2376 * For kernel threads that do indeed end up on online &&
2377 * !active we want to ensure they are strict
per-CPU threads.
2378 */
2379 WARN_ON(cpumask_intersects(new_mask, cpu_online_mask) &&
2380 !cpumask_intersects(new_mask, cpu_active_mask) &&
2381 p->nr_cpus_allowed != 1);
2382 }
2383
(FWIW, it looks like this patchset can fix a panic I noticed during
hibernation:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/12/22/141, though I see the same warning
during hibernation.)
