KeMeng Shi 714e501e16 sched/core: Fix migration to invalid CPU in __set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
An oops can be triggered in the scheduler when running qemu on arm64:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff000008effe40
 Internal error: Oops: 96000007 [#1] SMP
 Process migration/0 (pid: 12, stack limit = 0x00000000084e3736)
 pstate: 20000085 (nzCv daIf -PAN -UAO)
 pc : __ll_sc___cmpxchg_case_acq_4+0x4/0x20
 lr : move_queued_task.isra.21+0x124/0x298
 ...
 Call trace:
  __ll_sc___cmpxchg_case_acq_4+0x4/0x20
  __migrate_task+0xc8/0xe0

__set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will choose an active dest_cpu in affinity mask to
migrage the process if process is not currently running on any one of the
CPUs specified in affinity mask. __set_cpus_allowed_ptr() will choose an
invalid dest_cpu (dest_cpu >= nr_cpu_ids, 1024 in my virtual machine) if
CPUS in an affinity mask are deactived by cpu_down after cpumask_intersects
check. cpumask_test_cpu() of dest_cpu afterwards is overflown and may pass if
corresponding bit is coincidentally set. As a consequence, kernel will
access an invalid rq address associate with the invalid CPU in
migration_cpu_stop->__migrate_task->move_queued_task and the Oops occurs.

The reproduce the crash:

  1) A process repeatedly binds itself to cpu0 and cpu1 in turn by calling
  sched_setaffinity.

  2) A shell script repeatedly does "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
  and "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online" in turn.

  3) Oops appears if the invalid CPU is set in memory after tested cpumask.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
