Subject: [PATCH 4/4 V2] Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplug
Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 12:36:39 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120803193638.GE4227@mit.edu> (raw)
coretemp_init in drivers/hwmon/coretemp.c loops with
for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices and sysfs interfaces,
then calls register_hotcpu_notifier. There is a race if a CPU is
offlined or onlined after the loop, but before
register_hotcpu_notifier. The race might result in the absence of a
platform_device+sysfs interface for an online CPU, or the presence of
a platform_device+sysfs interface for an offline CPU. A similar race
occurs during coretemp_exit, after the module calls
unregister_hotcpu_notifier, but before it unregisters all devices, a
CPU might offline and a device for an offline CPU will exist for a
short while.
This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier
with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus; and surrounds
unregister_hotcpu_notifier and device unregistering with
get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus.
Build tested.
