This may not be sufficient enough in some extremely corner cases, as it is
possible that the idle_injection_fn() starts running for the first cpu in the
cpumask right after first iteration of this loop completes. And so
atomic_dec_and_test() may return true there before idle_injection_fn() task gets
a chance to run on all cpus in the cpumask. Normally this wouldn't be a big
problem as the hrtimer can get reprogrammed in that case, but there is a case I
am worried about. More on this later..

Here is the corner case I was talking about. Consider the cpumask contains
CPU0/1/2/3.
PATH A PATH B
unregister()
-> idle_injection_stop()
idle_injection_wakeup()
-> Running loop for CPU0
-> atomic inc (count == 1)
-> wake_up_process(tsk)
-> At this point the current task stops
running and idle_injection_fn() starts running
(maybe on a different CPU)
idle_injection_fn()
-> atomic_dec_and_test(), returns true
as count == 0
-> set-duration to 0
-> wait for completion
-> atomic_read(run_duration), returns 0
-> complete()
-> kfree(ii_dev);
But the initial loop idle_injection_wakeup() has only run for CPU0 until now and
will continue running for other CPUs and will crash as ii_dev is already freed.
Am I still making a mistake here ?

Maybe move above into ii_dev_free(), as I suggested earlier, as that will remove
same code from unregister routine as well.
