Subject: [PATCH] cpusets: fix deadlock with cpu_down()->cpuset_lock()
I strongly believe the bug does exist, but this patch needs the review
from maintainers.
Suppose that task T bound to CPU takes callback_mutex. If cpu_down(CPU)
happens before T drops callback_mutex we have a deadlock.
stop_machine() preempts T, then migration_call(CPU_DEAD) tries to take
cpuset_lock() and hangs forever because CPU is already dead and thus
T can't be scheduled.
This patch unexports cpuset_lock/cpuset_unlock and converts kernel/cpuset.c
to use these helpers instead of lock/unlock of callback_mutex. The only
reason for migration_call()->cpuset_lock() was cpuset_cpus_allowed_locked()
called by move_task_off_dead_cpu(), so this patch adds get_online_cpus() to
cpuset_lock().
IOW, with this patch migration_call(CPU_DEAD) runs without callback_mutex,
but kernel/cpuset.c always takes get_online_cpus() before callback_mutex.
