tg_cpus() returns cpuset_num_cpus() unfloored, while its sibling
tg_tasks() already floors its result at 1. calc_concur_shares() feeds
nr = min(tg_tasks(tg), tg_cpus(tg))
into __calc_smp_shares() as shares_max, so an nr of 0 makes shares_max 0.
__calc_smp_shares() ends with
return clamp_t(long, shares, MIN_SHARES, shares_max);
and clamp() yields hi when hi < lo, so a zero shares_max silently defeats
the MIN_SHARES floor and returns 0 -- the exact case the comment above
that line says must return MIN_SHARES instead of 0.
That leaves a group sched_entity with load.weight == 0, and
__calc_prop_weight() then divides by cfs_rq->load.weight:
weight *= se->load.weight;
if (parent_entity(se))
weight /= cfs_rq->load.weight;
which takes a #DE inside enqueue_task_fair():
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:enqueue_task_fair+0x422/0x950

This is not survivable in practice: with panic_on_oops=0 the kernel took
the first #DE and continued for 476 ms, then faulted at the same RIP with
identical register state and an identical RSP, because the oops recovery
path (kill task -> schedule()) re-enters the same enqueue while the rq
lock is held mid-enqueue. The second fault escalates to a panic.
Flooring tg_cpus() at 1 makes it symmetric with tg_tasks() and keeps
shares_max >= tg_shares, so the MIN_SHARES floor in __calc_smp_shares()
can no longer be bypassed.
Note this only removes the division hazard. Whether cpuset_num_cpus() can
legitimately return 0 -- via the cpu hotplug/suspend path where a v2
cpuset may transiently become empty, or via an RCU race -- is a separate
question still open on the report thread.
