While the usage in that particular case might be wrong we should prevent from locking as lru_add_drain_all is used at many places. It seems that this is not all that hard to achieve actually. We have done the same thing for drain_all_pages which is analogous by a459eeb7b852 ("mm, page_alloc: do not depend on cpu hotplug locks inside the allocator"). All we have to care about is to handle - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead calling lru_add_drain_cpu the first part is already handled because the worker calls lru_add_drain which disables preemption when calling lru_add_drain_cpu on the local cpu it is draining. The later is true because page_alloc_cpu_dead is called on the controlling CPU after the hotplugged CPU vanished completely.

It turned out that the first patch was simply broken and the second one could be simplified because the irq disabling is just pointless. There were no other objections so I am resending this patch which should remove quite a large space of potential lockups as lru_add_drain_all is used at many places so removing the hoptlug locking is a good thing in general. Can we have this merged or there are still some objections?
