lib/group_cpus: snapshot cluster masks to keep grouping hotplug invariant
group_cpus_evenly() builds the managed-IRQ affinity spread used by
multi-queue devices such as NVMe. That spread is meant to be a property
of the static CPU topology: it walks cpu_present_mask and then
cpu_possible_mask so every hardware queue owns a fixed set of CPUs,
including CPUs that are offline at the time. A driver depends on that
partition staying stable across re-computation - the CPUs a queue is given
at probe must still describe the same queue after the device is later
reset and its affinity recomputed.
On an AMD system that stability breaks across an s2idle cycle. With CPUs
3-11 offlined and only CPUs 0-2 left online, the machine is suspended to
s2idle and resumed. The NVMe controller uses the simple-suspend quirk, so
resume fully re-initialises it and recomputes the affinity spread. The
system then hangs for roughly two minutes and stays sluggish afterwards,
the controller only making progress through its command-timeout poll:
nvme nvme0: I/O tag 898 (3382) QID 9 timeout, completion polled
nvme nvme0: I/O tag 398 (618e) QID 11 timeout, completion polled
QID 9 and QID 11 are the queues whose CPUs were offline when the spread
was recomputed. "completion polled" means the commands did finish in
hardware, but their interrupts were never delivered to a CPU that was
watching the queue, so nothing reaped them until the timeout fired.
It happens because commit 89802ca36c96 ("lib/group_cpus: make group CPU
cluster aware") derives the cluster groups from
topology_cluster_cpumask(), which lists only the cluster siblings that are
online when it is called. The resulting partition therefore depends on
the transient online mask rather than on the topology alone. Recomputed
on resume while the non-boot CPUs are still offline, it no longer matches
the boot-time partition, and a queue is left with an affinity that does
not cover the CPU it is meant to serve once that CPU comes back online.
The dependence is on the online mask, not on any AMD-specific behaviour,
so the same stall is reproducible on Intel platforms as well.
Make the cluster grouping depend on the complete cluster topology rather
than on whichever CPUs happen to be online. Snapshot the cluster masks
once while every present CPU is online and reuse that view for every later
spread. Every spread then groups from the same masks, so the partition
computed when the controller is reset matches the one computed at probe
and each queue's IRQ still covers the CPUs it serves. If the snapshot was
never taken, the cluster path is skipped and the plain present/possible
spread is used.
