From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2019 10:53:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 313/351] sched: migrate_enable: Busy loop until the migration request is completed Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=7212bfd2c5351861cd36c82fe6cbdd37c202a2e6 [ Upstream commit 140d7f54a5fff02898d2ca9802b39548bf7455f1 ] If user task changes the CPU affinity mask of a running task it will dispatch migration request if the current CPU is no longer allowed. This might happen shortly before a task enters a migrate_disable() section. Upon leaving the migrate_disable() section, the task will notice that the current CPU is no longer allowed and will will dispatch its own migration request to move it off the current CPU. While invoking __schedule() the first migration request will be processed and the task returns on the "new" CPU with "arg.done = 0". Its own migration request will be processed shortly after and will result in memory corruption if the stack memory, designed for request, was used otherwise in the meantime. Spin until the migration request has been processed if it was accepted.
