Subject: [PATCH 50/51] net/core/flow.c: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
Date: Thu, 06 Feb 2014 03:43:46 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140205221345.19080.20784.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140205220251.19080.92336.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_maps_update_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_maps_update_done();


Fix the code in net/core/flow.c by using this latter form of callback
registration.
