sched/fair: Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask()
Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.
tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().
Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.
Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.
sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].
The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:
$ sudo numactl -H
available: 5 nodes (0-4)
node 0 cpus: 0 1
node 0 size: 2927 MB
node 0 free: 1603 MB
node 1 cpus: 2 3
node 1 size: 3023 MB
node 1 free: 3008 MB
node 2 cpus: 4 5
node 2 size: 3023 MB
node 2 free: 3007 MB
node 3 cpus: 6 7
node 3 size: 3023 MB
node 3 free: 3002 MB
node 4 cpus: 8 9
node 4 size: 3022 MB
node 4 free: 2718 MB
node distances:
node 0 1 2 3 4
0: 10 39 38 37 36
1: 39 10 38 37 36
2: 38 38 10 37 36
3: 37 37 37 10 36
4: 36 36 36 36 10
The above topology can be mimicked using the following QEMU cmd that was
used to reproduce the warning and test the fix:
