From 6e32d479db6079dd5d4309aa66aecbcf2664a5fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fenghua Yu Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2012 11:32:43 -0800 Subject: kernel/cpu.c: Add comment for priority in cpu_hotplug_pm_callback cpu_hotplug_pm_callback should have higher priority than bsp_pm_callback which depends on cpu_hotplug_pm_callback to disable cpu hotplug to avoid race during bsp online checking. This is to hightlight the priorities between the two callbacks in case people may overlook the order. Ideally the priorities should be defined in macro/enum instead of fixed values. To do that, a seperate patchset may be pushed which will touch serveral other generic files and is out of scope of this patchset.

So the patch closes the window by using get/put_online_cpus(). Why does the patch change _cpu_up() logic? The patch cares the race of hot-remove cpu and _cpu_up(). If the patch does not change it, there is the following race. hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up() ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ call acpi_processor_handle_eject() | call cpu_down() | call get_online_cpus() | | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here call arch_unregister_cpu() | call acpi_unmap_lsapic() | call put_online_cpus() | | start and continue _cpu_up() return acpi_processor_remove() | continue hot-remove the cpu | So _cpu_up() can continue to itself. And hot-remove cpu can also continue itself. If the patch changes _cpu_up() logic, the race disappears as below: hot-remove cpu | _cpu_up() ----------------------------------------------------------------------- call acpi_processor_handle_eject() | call cpu_down() | call get_online_cpus() | | call cpu_hotplug_begin() and stop here call arch_unregister_cpu() | call acpi_unmap_lsapic() | cpu's cpu_present is set | to false by set_cpu_present()| call put_online_cpus() | | start _cpu_up() | check cpu_present() and return -EINVAL return acpi_processor_remove() | continue hot-remove the cpu | Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu Reviewed-by: Srivatsa S.
