[PATCH 3/4] sched: fix sched_numa_find_nth_cpu() in CPU-less case

From: Yury Norov
Date: Thu Aug 10 2023 - 12:25:08 EST


When the node provided by user is CPU-less, corresponding record in
sched_domains_numa_masks is not set. Trying to dereference it in the
following code leads to kernel crash.

To avoid it, start searching from the nearest node with CPUs.

This has been discovered and fixed by Yicong Yang:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAAH8bW8C5humYnfpW3y5ypwx0E-09A3QxFE1JFzR66v+mO4XfA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/

When discovering Guenter's failure report for sparc64, I found it's due to
the same problem. And while fixing, I found an opportunity to generalize
nearest NUMA node search and avoid code duplication.

Yicong, if you like this approach, please feel free to add your co-developed-by
or any appropriate tags.
