Daniel Jordan ec9c7d1933 padata: initialize pd->cpu with effective cpumask
Exercising CPU hotplug on a 5.2 kernel with recent padata fixes from
cryptodev-2.6.git in an 8-CPU kvm guest...

    # modprobe tcrypt alg="pcrypt(rfc4106(gcm(aes)))" type=3
    # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
    # echo c > /sys/kernel/pcrypt/pencrypt/parallel_cpumask
    # modprobe tcrypt mode=215

...caused the following crash:

    BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
    #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
    #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
    PGD 0 P4D 0
    Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
    CPU: 2 PID: 134 Comm: kworker/2:2 Not tainted 5.2.0-padata-base+ #7
    Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.12.0-<snip>
    Workqueue: pencrypt padata_parallel_worker
    RIP: 0010:padata_reorder+0xcb/0x180
    ...
    Call Trace:

     ...

In padata_alloc_pd, pd->cpu is set using the user-supplied cpumask
instead of the effective cpumask, and in this case cpumask_first picked
an offline CPU.

The offline CPU's reorder->list.next is NULL in padata_reorder because
the list wasn't initialized in padata_init_pqueues, which only operates
on CPUs in the effective mask.

Fix by using the effective mask in padata_alloc_pd.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
