[LTP] LTP-cpuset test cases

[Prabhakar K. <pra...@ou...>]

Hi All,

I am running LTP to test cpuset test cases. I have created new command 
file after copying 2 commands from runltp.

   cpuset_load_balance cpuset_load_balance_test.sh
   cpuset_base_ops cpuset_base_ops_testset.sh

with above sequence, crash is happening

Strangely, If I run sequence [1] or [2] no crash is happening
[1]
cpuset_load_balance     cpuset_load_balance_test.sh
cpuset_load_balance     cpuset_load_balance_test.sh

[2]
cpuset_load_balance     cpuset_load_balance_test.sh
cpuset_sched_domains    cpuset_sched_domains_test.sh
cpuset_hotplug  cpuset_hotplug_test.sh

What I can infer that the cpuset_load_balance, cpuset_sched_domains, 
cpuset_hotplug are usig cpuset_set(). While cpuset_base_ops doesnt use 
cpuset_set().
Also, combination of cpuset_load_balance with any cpuset tests *not* 
using cpuset_set() causing above type of crash.

I have seen this crash on Linux 5.09 and 5.4.rc0 kernel.


Any clue will help me in moving forward.
