sched: _cpu_down(): Don't play with current->cpus_allowed
commit 6a1bdc1b577ebcb65f6603c57f8347309bc4ab13 upstream _cpu_down() changes the current task's affinity and then recovers it at the end. The problems are well known: we can't restore old_allowed if it was bound to the now-dead-cpu, and we can race with the userspace which can change cpu-affinity during unplug. _cpu_down() should not play with current->cpus_allowed at all. Instead, take_cpu_down() can migrate the caller of _cpu_down() after __cpu_disable() removes the dying cpu from cpu_online_mask. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Rafael J.
