sched: fix sched_domain sysctl registration again
commit 029190c515f15f512ac85de8fc686d4dbd0ae731 (cpuset sched_load_balance flag) was not tested SCHED_DEBUG enabled as committed as it dereferences NULL when used and it reordered the sysctl registration to cause it to never show any domains or their tunables. Fixes: 1) restore arch_init_sched_domains ordering we can't walk the domains before we build them presently we register cpus with empty directories (no domain directories or files). 2) make unregister_sched_domain_sysctl do nothing when already unregistered detach_destroy_domains is now called one set of cpus at a time unregister_syctl dereferences NULL if called with a null. While the the function would always dereference null if called twice, in the previous code it was always called once and then was followed a register. So only the hidden bug of the sysctl_root_table not being allocated followed by an attempt to free it would have shown the error. 3) always call unregister and register in partition_sched_domains The code is "smart" about unregistering only needed domains. Since we aren't guaranteed any calls to unregister, always unregister. Without calling register on the way out we will not have a table or any sysctl tree. 4) warn if register is called without unregistering The previous table memory is lost, leaving pointers to the later freed memory in sysctl and leaking the memory of the tables. Before this patch on a 2-core 4-thread box compiled for SMT and NUMA, the domains appear empty (there are actually 3 levels per cpu). And as soon as two domains a null pointer is dereferenced (unreliable in this case is stack garbage): bu19a:~# ls -R /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/ /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/: cpu0 cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu0: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu1: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu2: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/cpu3: bu19a:~# mkdir /dev/cpuset bu19a:~# mount -tcpuset cpuset /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:~# cd /dev/cpuset/ bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > sched_load_balance bu19a:/dev/cpuset# mkdir one bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 1 > one/cpus bu19a:/dev/cpuset# echo 0 > one/sched_load_balance Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000018 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000006b608 NIP: c00000000006b608 LR: c00000000006b604 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000018d973f0 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (2.6.23-bml) MSR: 9000000000009032 <EE,ME,IR,DR> CR: 28242442 XER: 00000000 DAR: 0000000000000018, DSISR: 0000000040000000 TASK = c00000001912e340[1987] 'bash' THREAD: c000000018d94000 CPU: 2 ..
