Subject: [REGRESSION] Deadlock during CPU hotplug caused by abfc01077df6
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 16:58:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024145813.3535989-1-japo@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251006104527.331463972@infradead.org>

We've identified a regression introduced by commit abfc01077df6 ("sched: Fix
do_set_cpus_allowed() locking") that causes a reproducible deadlock during CPU
hotplug testing on s390x.

While running the cpuhotplug02.sh test from LTP, which dynamically
offlines and onlines CPUs, the system consistently enters a stalled
state.

Observed behavior:
- migration/N attempts to migrate a task currently executing on another
  CPU.
- Concurrently, rcu_sched tries to complete an RCU grace period.
- Both threads are blocked on spinlocks (e.g., arch_spin_lock_wait),
  likely due to lock contention.
- Neither thread progresses; the grace period stalls.
- The kernel detects the stall and triggers a crash dump.

Sys info:
	RELEASE: 6.18.0-20251021.rc2.git224.fe45352cd106.63.fc42.s390x+next
