From e22cdc3fc5991956146b9856d36b4971fe54dcd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rakib Mullick Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2017 19:01:54 +0600 Subject: sched/isolcpus: Fix "isolcpus=" boot parameter handling when !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as a limit to parse the passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits represents varies depending upon the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option: - If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is the same as NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of CPUs that really exist (default 64). So, there's a chance of a gap between nr_cpu_ids and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse() operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on an 8 cpu system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error that it's supposed to. This patch fixes this bug by finding the last CPU of the passed isolcpus= list and checking it against nr_cpu_ids. It also fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be nr_cpu_ids-1, since CPU numbering starts from 0.
