Why didn't you also re-add this test ?



Thank you for your comment. This is because the iterator "for_each_cpu_and(cpu, cpu_smt_mask(target), p->cpus_ptr)" ensures that cpu is included in p->cpus_ptr.

The iterator has changed. FYI, here is the change made in commit df3cb4ea1fb6:

for_each_cpu(cpu, cpu_smt_mask(target)) {
- if (!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, p->cpus_ptr))
+ if (!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, p->cpus_ptr) ||
+ !cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, sched_domain_span(sd)))
continue;
if (available_idle_cpu(cpu) || sched_idle_cpu(cpu))

best,
Keisuke
