Subject: [BUG] v6.3-rc2 regresses sched_getaffinity() for arm64
Hi Linus,
I need to report a regression in v6.3-rc2 where sched_getaffinity() returns an
incorrect cpu_set, at least when running on arm64. Git bisect shows this patch
as the culprit, authored by you:
596ff4a09b89 cpumask: re-introduce constant-sized cpumask optimizations
Apologies if this is the wrong channel for reporting this - I couldn't find a
suitable mail on the list for this patch to reply to. Happy to direct it
somewhere else if appropriate.
Details:
I'm running v6.3-rc2 kernel in a VM on Ampere Altra (arm64 system). The VM is
assigned 8 vCPUs. The kernel is defconfig and I'm booting into an Ubuntu
user-space. `nproc` returns a value that fluctuates from call to call in the
range ~80-100. If I run with v6.2, nproc always returns 8, as expected.
nproc is calling sched_getaffinity() with a 1024 entry cpu_set mask, then adds
up all the set bits to find the number of CPUs. I wrote a test program and can
see that the first 8 bits are always correctly set and most of the other bits
are always correctly 0. But bits ~64-224 are randomly set/clear from call to call.
Test program:
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define SET_SIZE 1024
static void print_cpu_set(cpu_set_t *cpu_set)
{
int ret, i, j, k;
printf("cpu_count=%d\n", CPU_COUNT(cpu_set));
for (i = 0; i < SET_SIZE;) {
printf("[%03d]: ", i);
for (k = 0; k < 8; k++) {
for (j = 0; j < 8; j++, i++) {
printf("%d", CPU_ISSET(i, cpu_set));
}
printf(" ");
}
printf("\n");
}
}
int main()
{
int ret;
cpu_set_t *cpu_set;
size_t size;
cpu_set = CPU_ALLOC(SET_SIZE);
size = CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(SET_SIZE);
CPU_ZERO(cpu_set);
printf("before:\n");
print_cpu_set(cpu_set);
ret = sched_getaffinity(0, size, cpu_set);
printf("ret=%d\n", ret);
printf("after:\n");
print_cpu_set(cpu_set);
return 0;
}
Broken output on v6.3-rc2:
before:
cpu_count=0
