I've already sent this to the maintainers, and this is now being sent to a
larger community audience. I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of
build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the
generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c.
The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into
2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a.
"isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched
groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the
remainder of the non-isolated CPUs. This allows the non-isolated CPUs to
completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing.
Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will
include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will
belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset. Declaring a
cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures
and will oops the kernel.
To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node):
cd /dev/cpuset
mkdir newcpuset
cd newcpuset
echo 0 >cpus
echo 0 >mems
echo 1 >cpu_exclusive
I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node).
A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in
kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also. The fix
involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and
sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather
than using global arrays for these structures. Care must be taken to
remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can
properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.
