The Perf Domain (PD) cpumask (struct em_perf_domain.cpus) stays invariant after Energy Model creation, i.e. it is not updated after CPU hotplug operations. That's why the PD mask is used in conjunction with the cpu_online_mask (or Sched Domain cpumask). Thereby the cpu_online_mask is fetched multiple times (in compute_energy()) during a run-queue selection for a task. cpu_online_mask may change during this time which can lead to wrong energy calculations. To be able to avoid this, use the select_rq_mask per-cpu cpumask to create a cpumask out of PD cpumask and cpu_online_mask and pass it through the function calls of the EAS run-queue selection path. The PD cpumask for max_spare_cap_cpu/compute_prev_delta selection (find_energy_efficient_cpu()) is now ANDed not only with the SD mask but also with the cpu_online_mask. This is fine since this cpumask has to be in syc with the one used for energy computation (compute_energy()). An exclusive cpuset setup with at least one asymmetric CPU capacity island (hence the additional AND with the SD cpumask) is the obvious exception here.

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.
