Subject: [PATCH] sched/deadline: Fix potential race in dl_add_task_root_domain()
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 11:34:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251124033415.10784-1-piliu@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251119095525.12019-3-piliu@redhat.com>

The access rule for local_cpu_mask_dl requires it to be called on the
local CPU with preemption disabled. However, dl_add_task_root_domain()
currently violates this rule.

Without preemption disabled, the following race can occur:

1. ThreadA calls dl_add_task_root_domain() on CPU 0
2. Gets pointer to CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
3. ThreadA is preempted and migrated to CPU 1
4. ThreadA continues using CPU 0's local_cpu_mask_dl
5. Meanwhile, the scheduler on CPU 0 calls find_later_rq() which also
   uses local_cpu_mask_dl (with preemption properly disabled)
6. Both contexts now corrupt the same per-CPU buffer concurrently

Fix this by moving the local_cpu_mask_dl access to the preemption
disabled section.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/aSBjm3mN_uIy64nz@jlelli-thinkpadt14gen4.remote.csb
Fixes: 318e18ed22e8 ("sched/deadline: Walk up cpuset hierarchy to decide root domain when hot-unplug")
