Subject: [PATCH v3 30/52] arm64, hw_breakpoint.c: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:09:08 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140310203907.10746.60164.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140310203312.10746.310.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com>
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the hw-breakpoint code in arm64 by using this latter form of callback
registration.
