Subject: [PATCH 1/1] block: Range check cpu in blk_cpu_to_group
Date: Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:41:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201009091741.o89HfPfM011522@d03av02.boulder.ibm.com> (raw)


While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered.
We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.

Fix this by sanity checking the value we return from blk_cpu_to_group
to be a valid cpu value.
