When a new cpu on a new node is onlined, the coincident member in sched_domains_numa_masks[][] is not initialized, and all the masks are 0. As a result, the build_overlap_sched_groups() will initialize a NULL sched_group for the new cpu on the new node, which will lead to kernel panic: [ 3189.403280] Call Trace: [ 3189.403286] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 3189.403289] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 3189.403292] [] build_sched_domains+0x467/0x470 [ 3189.403296] [] partition_sched_domains+0x307/0x510 [ 3189.403299] [] ? partition_sched_domains+0x142/0x510 [ 3189.403305] [] cpuset_update_active_cpus+0x83/0x90 [ 3189.403308] [] cpuset_cpu_active+0x38/0x70 [ 3189.403316] [] notifier_call_chain+0x67/0x150 [ 3189.403320] [] ? native_cpu_up+0x18a/0x1b5 [ 3189.403328] [] __raw_notifier_call_chain+0xe/0x10 [ 3189.403333] [] __cpu_notify+0x20/0x40 [ 3189.403337] [] _cpu_up+0xe9/0x131 [ 3189.403340] [] cpu_up+0xdb/0xee [ 3189.403348] [] store_online+0x9c/0xd0 [ 3189.403355] [] dev_attr_store+0x20/0x30 [ 3189.403361] [] sysfs_write_file+0xa3/0x100 [ 3189.403368] [] vfs_write+0xd0/0x1a0 [ 3189.403371] [] sys_write+0x54/0xa0 [ 3189.403375] [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 3189.403377] ---[ end trace 1e6cf85d0859c941 ]--- [ 3189.403398] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018 This patch registers a new notifier for cpu hotplug notify chain, and updates sched_domains_numa_masks every time a new cpu is onlined or offlined.
