So the return value of a # cpumask scan should be checked with # # if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) # ... # # because the cpumask scan did not necessarily stop exactly *at* that # maximum CPU id. # # But a few cases ended up instead using checks like # # if (cpu == nr_cpumask_bits) # ... # # which used that internal "widened" number of bits. And that used to # work pretty much by accident (ok, in this case "by accident" is simply # because it matched the historical internal implementation of the cpumask # scanning, so it was more of a "intentionally using implementation # details rather than an accident"). # # But the extended constant-sized optimizations then did that internal # implementation differently, and now that code that did things wrong but # matched the old implementation no longer worked at all. # # Which then causes subsequent odd problems due to using what ends up # being an invalid CPU ID. # # Most of these cases require either unusual hardware or special uses to # hit, but the random.c one triggers quite easily. # # All you really need is to have a sufficiently small CONFIG_NR_CPUS value # for the bit scanning optimization to be triggered, but not enough CPUs # to then actually fill that widened cpumask. At that point, the cpumask # scanning will return the NR_CPUS constant, which is _not_ the same as # nr_cpumask_bits. # # This just does the mindless fix with # # sed -i 's/== nr_cpumask_bits/>= nr_cpu_ids/' # # to fix the incorrect uses. # # The ones in the SCSI lpfc driver in particular could probably be fixed # more cleanly by just removing that repeated pattern entirely, but I am # not emptionally invested enough in that driver to care. # # Reported-and-tested-by: Guenter Roeck # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/481b19b5-83a0-4793-b4fd-194ad7b978c3@roeck-us.net/ # Reported-and-tested-by: Geert Uytterhoeven # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAMuHMdUKo_Sf7TjKzcNDa8Ve+6QrK+P8nSQrSQ=6LTRmcBKNww@mail.gmail.com/ # Reported-by: Vernon Yang # Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230306160651.2016767-1-vernon2gm@gmail.com/ # Cc: Yury Norov # Cc: Jason A.
