Subject: [PATCH] sched/numa: Acquire RCU lock for checking idle cores during
NUMA balancing
References: bnc#1155798 (CPU scheduler functional and performance backports)
Patch-mainline: v5.7-rc1
Git-commit: 0621df315402dd7bc56f7272fae9778701289825
Qian Cai reported the following bug:
The linux-next commit ff7db0bf24db ("sched/numa: Prefer using an idle CPU as a
migration target instead of comparing tasks") introduced a boot warning,
[ 86.520534][ T1] WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
[ 86.520540][ T1] 5.6.0-rc3-next-20200227 #7 Not tainted

task_numa_migrate() checks for idle cores when updating NUMA-related statistics.
This relies on reading a RCU-protected structure in test_idle_cores() via this
call chain
task_numa_migrate
-> update_numa_stats
-> numa_idle_core
-> test_idle_cores
While the locking could be fine-grained, it is more appropriate to acquire
the RCU lock for the entire scan of the domain. This patch removes the
warning triggered at boot time.
