Peter Zijlstra 661f951e37 sched/fair: Get rid of sched_domains_curr_level hack for tl->cpumask()
Leon [1] and Vinicius [2] noted a topology_span_sane() warning during
their testing starting from v6.16-rc1. Debug that followed pointed to
the tl->mask() for the NODE domain being incorrectly resolved to that of
the highest NUMA domain.

tl->mask() for NODE is set to the sd_numa_mask() which depends on the
global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack. "sched_domains_curr_level" is
set to the "tl->numa_level" during tl traversal in build_sched_domains()
calling sd_init() but was not reset before topology_span_sane().

Since "tl->numa_level" still reflected the old value from
build_sched_domains(), topology_span_sane() for the NODE domain trips
when the span of the last NUMA domain overlaps.

Instead of replicating the "sched_domains_curr_level" hack, get rid of
it entirely and instead, pass the entire "sched_domain_topology_level"
object to tl->cpumask() function to prevent such mishap in the future.

sd_numa_mask() now directly references "tl->numa_level" instead of
relying on the global "sched_domains_curr_level" hack to index into
sched_domains_numa_masks[].

The original warning was reproducible on the following NUMA topology
reported by Leon:

    $ sudo numactl -H
    available: 5 nodes (0-4)
    node 0 cpus: 0 1
    node 0 size: 2927 MB
    node 0 free: 1603 MB
    node 1 cpus: 2 3
    node 1 size: 3023 MB
    node 1 free: 3008 MB
    node 2 cpus: 4 5
    node 2 size: 3023 MB
    node 2 free: 3007 MB
    node 3 cpus: 6 7
    node 3 size: 3023 MB
    node 3 free: 3002 MB
    node 4 cpus: 8 9
    node 4 size: 3022 MB
    node 4 free: 2718 MB
    node distances:
    node   0   1   2   3   4
      0:  10  39  38  37  36
      1:  39  10  38  37  36
      2:  38  38  10  37  36
      3:  37  37  37  10  36
      4:  36  36  36  36  10

The above topology can be mimicked using the following QEMU cmd that was
used to reproduce the warning and test the fix:

     sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host \
     -m 20G -smp cpus=10,sockets=10 -machine q35 \

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 reStructuredText 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.
