Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] stop_machine: Remove stop_cpus_lock and
lg_double_lock/unlock()
stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus() use stop_cpus_lock to avoid the deadlock,
we need to ensure that the stopper functions can't be queued "backwards"
from one another. This doesn't look nice; if we use lglock then we do not
really need stopper->lock, cpu_stop_queue_work() could use lg_local_lock()
under local_irq_save().
OTOH it would be even better to avoid lglock in stop_machine.c and remove
lg_double_lock(). This patch adds "bool stop_cpus_in_progress" set/cleared
by queue_stop_cpus_work(), and changes cpu_stop_queue_two_works() to busy
wait until it is cleared.
queue_stop_cpus_work() sets stop_cpus_in_progress = T lockless, but after
it queues a work on CPU1 it must be visible to stop_two_cpus(CPU1, CPU2)
which checks it under the same lock. And since stop_two_cpus() holds the
2nd lock too, queue_stop_cpus_work() can not clear stop_cpus_in_progress
if it is also going to queue a work on CPU2, it needs to take that 2nd
lock to do this.
