I think I know what triggers this in v4.

See sched_mm_cid_migrate_from() (near the end):

+       /*
+        * The src_cid is unused, so it can be unset.
+        */
+       if (cmpxchg(src_pcpu_cid, mm_cid_set_lazy_put(src_cid), MM_CID_UNSET) !=
+           mm_cid_set_lazy_put(src_cid))
+               return;
+       __mm_cid_put(mm, src_cid);

There is a short window here between successful cmpxchg and clear mask bit
where the thread has ownership of the cid without rq lock held. This can
lead to rare over-allocation of cids beyond nr_possible_cpus if the src cpu
runqueue reallocates a cid concurrently, which causes __mm_cid_get() to
return -1.

Because we want to avoid taking the src rq lock in migrate-from, I plan to
fix this by doing the following:

- disable interrupts around this cmpxchg and __mm_cid_put(),
- modify __mm_cid_get so it retries if cpumask_first_zero() returns -1.

This should take care of this kind of extremely rare over-allocation
scenario through retry, which will be bounded by the duration of the
instruction sequence between cmpxchg and clearing the bit in the bitmask.

I have not reproduced the warning on my end, only figured this out from
code review.

Thoughts ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
