Subject: [PATCH 0/2] drivers: base: cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_list inconsistency in event of CPU hotplug

Since v6.3-rc1, the shared_cpu_list in per-cpu cacheinfo breaks in case
of hotplug activity on x86. This can be tracked back to two commits:

o commit 198102c9103f ("cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared
caches at different levels") that matches cache instance IDs without
considering if the instance IDs belong to same cache level or not.

o commit 5c2712387d48 ("cacheinfo: Fix LLC is not exported through
sysfs") which skips calling populate_cache_leaves() if
last_level_cache_is_valid(cpu) returns true. populate_cache_leaves()
on x86 would have populated the shared_cpu_map when CPU comes online,
which is now skipped, and the alternate path has an early bailout
before setting the CPU in the shared_cpu_map is even attempted.

On x86, populate_cache_leaves() also sets the
cpu_cacheinfo->cpu_map_populated flag when the cacheinfo is first
populated, the cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() in the driver is bypassed
when a thread comes back online during the hotplug activity. This leads
to the shared_cpu_list displaying abnormal values for the CPU that was
offlined and then onlined since the shared_cpu_maps are never
revaluated.

Following is the output from a dual socket 3rd Generation AMD EPYC
processor (2 x 64C/128T) for cachinfo when offlining and then onlining
CPU8:

o v6.3-rc5 with no changes:

o v6.3-rc5 with commit 5c2712387d48 ("cacheinfo: Fix LLC is not exported

This is not only limited to AMD processors but affects Intel processors
too. Following is the output from same experiment on a dual socket Intel
Ice Lake server (2 x 32C/64T) running kernel v6.3-rc5:

This patch addresses two issues associated with building
shared_cpu_list:

o Patch 1 fixes an ID matching issue that can lead to cacheinfo
associating CPUs from different cache levels in case IDs are not
unique across all the different cache levels.

o Patch 2 clears the cpu_cacheinfo->cpu_map_populated flag when CPU goes
offline and is removed from the shared_cpu_map.

Following are the results after applying the series on v6.3-rc5 on
respective x86 platforms:

Running "grep -r 'cpu_map_populated' arch/" shows MIPS and loongarch too
set the cpu_cacheinfo->cpu_map_populated who might also be affected by
the changes in commit 5c2712387d48 ("cacheinfo: Fix LLC is not exported
through sysfs") and this series. Changes from Patch 1 might also affect
RISC-V since Yong-Xuan Wang <[email protected]> from SiFive last
made changes to cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() and
cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() in commit 198102c9103f ("cacheinfo: Fix
shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels").

Yes, you are right, since those platforms support CPU hotplug as well.

I think they may be affected as well, it is just that it is not caught
in the testing.

Thanks for the detailed explanation and output logs. Not sure how much
time it took you to write but saved lot of time by making it so simple
to understand the exact issue. The changes look good.
