sched: EAS: Initialize push_task as NULL to avoid direct reference on…
… out_unlock path After applying up-migrate patches(dc626b2 sched: avoid pushing tasks to an offline CPU, 2da014c sched: Extend active balance to accept 'push_task' argument), leaving EAS disabled and doing a stability test which includes some random cpu plugin/plugout. There are two types crashes happened as below: TYPE 1: [ 2072.653091] c1 ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 2072.653133] c1 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 13 at kernel/fork.c:252 __put_task_struct+0x30/0x124() [ 2072.653173] c1 CPU: 1 PID: 13 Comm: migration/1 Tainted: G W O 4.4.83-01066-g04c5403-dirty #17 [ 2072.653215] c1 [<c011141c>] (unwind_backtrace) from [<c010ced8>] (show_stack+0x20/0x24) [ 2072.653235] c1 [<c010ced8>] (show_stack) from [<c043d7f8>] (dump_stack+0xa8/0xe0) [ 2072.653255] c1 [<c043d7f8>] (dump_stack) from [<c012be04>] (warn_slowpath_common+0x98/0xc4) [ 2072.653273] c1 [<c012be04>] (warn_slowpath_common) from [<c012beec>] (warn_slowpath_null+0x2c/0x34) [ 2072.653291] c1 [<c012beec>] (warn_slowpath_null) from [<c01293b4>] (__put_task_struct+0x30/0x124) [ 2072.653310] c1 [<c01293b4>] (__put_task_struct) from [<c0166964>] (active_load_balance_cpu_stop+0x22c/0x314) [ 2072.653331] c1 [<c0166964>] (active_load_balance_cpu_stop) from [<c01c2604>] (cpu_stopper_thread+0x90/0x144) [ 2072.653352] c1 [<c01c2604>] (cpu_stopper_thread) from [<c014d80c>] (smpboot_thread_fn+0x258/0x270) [ 2072.653370] c1 [<c014d80c>] (smpboot_thread_fn) from [<c0149ee4>] (kthread+0x118/0x12c) [ 2072.653388] c1 [<c0149ee4>] (kthread) from [<c0108310>] (ret_from_fork+0x14/0x24) [ 2072.653400] c1 ---[ end trace 49c3d154890763fc ]--- [ 2072.653418] c1 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...

And maybe cpu hotplug in/out make this happen more easily. For the second type crash, it hits 'BUG_ON(td->cpu != smp_processor_id());' in smpboot_thread_fn(). It seems that OOPS was caused by migration/2 which actually running on cpu1. And I haven't found what actually happened. However, after this fix, the second type crash seems gone too.
