Systems built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y can trigger the following BUG while running the rcuscale performance test: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: rcu_scale_write/69 CPU: 0 PID: 66 Comm: rcu_scale_write Not tainted 5.18.0-rc7-next-20220517-yoctodev-standard+ caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x5e dump_stack+0x10/0x12 check_preemption_disabled+0xdf/0xf0 debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20 rcu_scale_writer+0x2b5/0x580 kthread+0x177/0x1b0 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 </TASK> Reproduction method: runqemu kvm slirp nographic qemuparams="-m 4096 -smp 8" bootparams="isolcpus=2,3 nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3 rcutree.dump_tree=1 rcuscale.shutdown=false rcuscale.gp_async=true" -d The problem is that the rcu_scale_writer() kthreads fail to set the PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flags, which causes is_percpu_thread() to assume that the kthread's affinity might change at any time, thus the BUG noted above. This commit therefore causes rcu_scale_writer() to set PF_NO_SETAFFINITY in its kthread's ->flags field, thus preventing this BUG.

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.
