Subject: [PATCH 3.2 108/200] md/raid5: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration
3.2.56-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>
commit 789b5e0315284463617e106baad360cb9e8db3ac upstream.
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).
Interestingly, the raid5 code can actually prevent double initialization and
hence can use the following simplified form of callback registration:
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
put_online_cpus();
A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling
get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to
perform the memory allocations only once.
So reorganize the code in raid5 this way to fix the deadlock with callback
registration.

[Srivatsa: Fixed the unregister_cpu_notifier() deadlock, added the
free_scratch_buffer() helper to condense code further and wrote the changelog.]
