Subject: [BUG] Failed to online cpu on a hot-added NUMA node.
Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:31:52 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <504DC198.6080602@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

Hi,

When I hot add a node, all the cpus on it are offline.
When I online one of them, I got the following error message.

[  762.759493] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 
0000000000000018


In init_sched_groups_power(), we got a NULL pointer sg, which should
have been initialized in build_overlap_sched_groups().

In build_overlap_sched_groups(),
     cpumask_copy(sg_span, sched_domain_span(child));

the new cpu is not set in sched_domain_span(child). It should be set in
build_sched_domain(),
     cpumask_and(sched_domain_span(sd), cpu_map, tl->mask(cpu));

But on NUMA topology level, the cpus' masks on the new node is not set
in array sched_domains_numa_masks when they are hot added, which means
they are not set in tl->mask(cpu).

Should we set the hot added cpu masks in sched_domains_numa_masks when
they are onlined ?

If I want to fix this, do I need to add a new notifier to the notify
chain ?

Thanks. :)
