See the size mismatch?
It will allocate 24 bytes and needs 128.
I think this is a bad intialization.
We have these operations in the code on cpu_bind_list_p.
static id_list_p cpu_bind_list_p;
CLEAR_CPU_LIST(cpu_bind_list_p);
OR_LISTS(cpu_bind_list_p, cpu_bind_list_p, node[node_id].cpu_list_p);
Now CLEAR_CPU_LIST has some init code, but only if == NULL.
#define CLEAR_CPU_LIST(list_p) \
if (list_p == NULL) { \
INIT_ID_LIST(list_p, num_cpus); \
} \
CPU_ZERO_S(list_p->bytes, list_p->set_p)
Since we can't rely on data in that static var "by accident" it might
have stale old data.
Note: The other chance of errors is the 40 active CPUs vs the 160 potential
CPUs (SMT off) that I have in my system.
The size is from num_cpu - if that detection is off then it might fail as well.
But at least in all my crashes that was ok.
(gdb) p num_cpus
$10 = 160
So lets assume it is the lack of (re)initialization for now.
Other structures of type "id_list_p" are all initialized with NULL btw.
Like:
id_list_p all_cpus_list_p = NULL;
id_list_p all_nodes_list_p = NULL;
id_list_p reserved_cpu_mask_list_p = NULL;
