[PATCH rcu 8/9] rcu-tasks: Handle sparse cpu_possible_mask

["Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

If the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter is set to
something greater than 1 and less than nr_cpu_ids, the code attempts to
use a subset of the CPU's RCU Tasks callback lists.  This works, but only
if the cpu_possible_mask is contiguous.  If there are "holes" in this
mask, the callback-enqueue code might attempt to access a non-existent
per-CPU ->rtcpu variable for a non-existent CPU.  For example, if only
CPUs 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and so on are in cpu_possible_mask, specifying
rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim=4 would cause the code to attempt to
use callback queues for non-existent CPUs 1, 2, and 3.  Because such
systems have existed in the past and might still exist, the code needs
to gracefully handle this situation.

This commit therefore checks to see whether the desired CPU is present
in cpu_possible_mask, and, if not, searches for the next CPU.  This means
that the systems administrator of a system with a sparse cpu_possible_mask
will need to account for this sparsity when specifying the value of
the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim kernel boot parameter.  For example,
setting this parameter to the value 4 will use only CPUs 0 and 4, which
CPU 4 getting three times the callback load of CPU 0.

This commit assumes that bit (nr_cpu_ids - 1) is always set in
cpu_possible_mask.
