From c4fa6c43ce4b427350cfbb659436bfe3d9e09a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Waiman Long Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2017 09:54:13 -0400 Subject: cgroup: Reinit cgroup_taskset structure before cgroup_migrate_execute() returns The cgroup_taskset structure within the larger cgroup_mgctx structure is supposed to be used once and then discarded. That is not really the case in the hotplug code path: cpuset_hotplug_workfn() - cgroup_transfer_tasks() - cgroup_migrate() - cgroup_migrate_add_task() - cgroup_migrate_execute() In this case, the cgroup_migrate() function is called multiple time with the same cgroup_mgctx structure to transfer the tasks from one cgroup to another one-by-one. The second time cgroup_migrate() is called, the cgroup_taskset will be in an incorrect state and so may cause the system to panic.

This bug was introduced in the commit e595cd706982 ("group: track migration context in cgroup_mgctx") in 4.11. This commit moves the cgroup_taskset initialization out of cgroup_migrate(). The commit 10467270fb3 ("cgroup: don't call migration methods if there are no tasks to migrate") helped, but did not completely resolve the problem.
