PowerPC has only one control path to add/remove CPUs via DLPAR operations.
Even so, the underlying code is protected through multiple locks.

The operation is already within a hotplug readlock when performing DLPAR
add/remove.  Adding a CPU to the system, requires it to be brought online.
Removing a CPU from the system, requires it to be taken offline.  These
involve calls to cpu_up / cpu_down, which go through _cpu_up / _cpu_down,
which acquire the hotplug locks, among others along the path of execution.

The locks are acquired before getting to the workqueue code, the pool
creation/attachment code (which is where the cpu mask needs to be set),
or trying to wakeup the initial created task in 'sched.c'.

The more I look at the patch, the less sense it seems to make.  So,
whenever we create a new pool, we ignore the requested cpumask and
override it with the cpumask of the current thread?

A new unbound workqueue and thus unbound pool can also be created from
paths outside cpu hotplug, so get_unbound_pool() can race against
hotplug.  Can you please explain the failures that you see in more
detail?  I'm sure your patch works around the issue somehow but it
doesn't look like the right fix.

Thanks.

No.  As I mentioned previously, the operation/problem occurs within a DLPAR
hotplug add/remove operation.  This is happening to a node which previously
did not have any CPUs associated to it -- we are trying to add more resources
to an LPAR / partition.  At this point, the cpumask for the node is empty / zero.
Sorry for not being more clear on this point earlier.

We fill in an empty cpumask field with a guaranteed non-empty value.
I verified that the incoming cpumask in the attrs was zero at this point
preceding the failure.  If we proceed without putting in a useful value,
we go to 'wake_up_process()' (kernel/sched/core.c) next to wakeup the new
worker for the new unbound pool.  While there, the code runs through
'select_task_rq()' and invokes cpumask_any() on a copy of the cpumask.
Unfortunately, running that function over an empty/non-initialized cpumask
returns an index beyond the end of the list, resulting shortly thereafter
in an instruction/data fetch exception.

If you have a suggestion for an alternate non-empty value to use, I would
be happy to try it.

But that's what the code is doing.  Whenever it creates a new unbound
pool, it ends up ignoring the requested cpumask and overwrites it with
the cpumask containing self.

Can you please post the backtrace of the problematic worker pool being
created (WARN_ON empty cpumask while creating a new pool)?

Thanks.

To confirm, you want the WARN_ON(cpumask_any(pool->attrs->cpumask) >= NR_CPUS)
at the point where I place my current patch?

Yeah, cpumask_weight() probably is a bit more intuitive but I'm
curious why we're creating workqueues for a node before cpus come
online.

Thanks.

I am in the middle of another test, but I did find this test crash log from
one of my earlier tests.  The system was configured for Shared Processors,
booting with 16 or so VPs, and then I was adding and removing them, and hit
this crash.  I will get the other log later.

And here is the full WARN_ONCE(!cpumask(pool->attrs->cpumask), "message")
following by the crash in kernel/sched/core.c, as I removed the patch as
well to demonstrate what would happen in the 4.12 kernel on powerpc.

1) Boot with Shared CPUs (2 CPUs, 8VPs) / Shared Memory (20G)
2) numactl -H
3) Hot-add 16 VPs to system, and run 'numactl -H'
4) Hot-remove 16 VPs from system.  Hit WARN_ONCE message in
   workqueue.c:get_unbound_pool(), followed by the crash in
   kernel/sched/core.c, as I also removed the patch that 'fixed'
   the cpumask.

Can you please try the following instead.  On the second thought, I
don't think the current logic is wrong.  If this fixes the issue,
somehow your setup is having a situation where online cpumask for a
node is a proper superset of possible cpumask for the node.

Thanks.

I will try that patch shortly.  I also updated my patch to be conditional
on whether the pool's cpumask attribute was empty.  You should have received
V2 of that patch by now.

As to your remark about 'proper subset of possible cpumask for the node',
would that not be the case when we are removing VPs?

Let's try this again.

The hotplug problem goes away with the changes that you provided earlier, and
shown in the patch below.  I kept this change to get_unbound_pool' as a just
in case to explain the crash in the event that it occurs again:

    if (!cpumask_weight(pool->attrs->cpumask))
        cpumask_copy(pool->attrs->cpumask, cpumask_of(smp_processor_id()));

I could also insert 

    BUG(!cpumask_weight(pool->attrs->cpumask, cpumask_of(smp_processor_id()));

at that place, but I really prefer not to crash the system if there is a workaround.

So, that means we're ending up in situations where NUMA online is a
proper superset of NUMA possible.

I'm not sure because it doesn't make any logical sense and it's not
right in terms of correctness.  The above would be able to enable CPUs
which are explicitly excluded from a workqueue.  The only fallback
which makes sense is falling back to the default pwq.

The only way offlining can lead to this failure is when wq numa
possible cpu mask is a proper subset of the matching online mask.  Can
you please print out the numa online cpu and wq_numa_possible_cpumask
masks and verify that online stays within the possible for each node?
If not, the ppc arch init code needs to be updated so that cpu <->
node binding is establish for all possible cpus on boot.  Note that
this isn't a requirement coming solely from wq.  All node affine (thus
percpu) allocations depend on that.

Thanks.

wq_update_unbound_numa() should have never called into
alloc_unbound_pwq() w/ empty node cpu mask.  It should have fallen
back to the dfl_pwq.  It looks like I just messed up the logic there
from the initial commit of the feature.  Can you please see whether
the following fixes the problem?

Thanks.
