From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 22:07:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 05/13] powerpc/smp: Replace open coded task affinity logic Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.11/older/patches-4.11.8-rt5.tar.xz Init task invokes smp_ops->setup_cpu() from smp_cpus_done(). Init task can run on any online CPU at this point, but the setup_cpu() callback requires to be invoked on the boot CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original affinity afterwards. That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the new affinity setting. That's actually not a problem in this context as neither CPU hotplug nor affinity settings can happen, but the access to task_struct::cpus_allowed is about to restricted. Replace it with a call to work_on_cpu_safe() which achieves the same result. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Michael Ellerman Cc: Fenghua Yu Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: "Rafael J.
