commit 14e568e78 (stop_machine: Use smpboot threads) introduced the
following regression:
Before this commit the stopper enabled bit was set in the online
notifier.
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
hotplug_notifier(ONLINE)
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
...
stop_machine()
The conversion to smpboot threads moved the enablement to the wakeup
path of the parked thread. The majority of users seem to have the
following working order:
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
unpark_threads()
wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stopper thread runs
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
stop_machine()
But Konrad and Sander have observed:
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up
cpu online
unpark_threads()
wakeup(stopper[CPU1])
....
stop_machine()
stopper thread runs
stopper(CPU1)->enabled = true;
Now the stop machinery kicks CPU0 into the stop loop, where it gets
stuck forever because the queue code saw stopper(CPU1)->enabled ==
false, so CPU0 waits for CPU1 to enter stomp_machine, but the CPU1
stopper work got discarded due to enabled == false.
Add a pre_unpark function to the smpboot thread descriptor and call it
before waking the thread.
This fixes the problem at hand, but the stop_machine code should be
more robust. The stopper->enabled flag smells fishy at best.
Thanks to Konrad for going through a loop of debug patches and
providing the information to decode this issue.
