smp/hotplug: Move unparking of percpu threads to the control CPU
Vikram reported the following backtrace:
BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/7/0/0x00000002
CPU: 7 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/7 Not tainted 4.9.32-perf+ #680
schedule
schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock

__kthread_unpark
kthread_unpark
cpuhp_online_idle
cpu_startup_entry
secondary_start_kernel
He analyzed correctly that a parked cpu hotplug thread of an offlined CPU
was still on the runqueue when the CPU came back online and tried to unpark
it. This causes the thread which invoked kthread_unpark() to call
wait_task_inactive() and subsequently schedule() with preemption disabled.
His proposed workaround was to "make sure" that a parked thread has
scheduled out when the CPU goes offline, so the situation cannot happen.
But that's still wrong because the root cause is not the fact that the
percpu thread is still on the runqueue and neither that preemption is
disabled, which could be simply solved by enabling preemption before
calling kthread_unpark().
The real issue is that the calling thread is the idle task of the upcoming
CPU, which is not supposed to call anything which might sleep. The moron,
who wrote that code, missed completely that kthread_unpark() might end up
in schedule().
The solution is simpler than expected. The thread which controls the
hotplug operation is waiting for the CPU to call complete() on the hotplug
state completion. So the idle task of the upcoming CPU can set its state to
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE and invoke complete(). This in turn wakes the control
task on a different CPU, which then can safely do the unpark and kick the
now unparked hotplug thread of the upcoming CPU to complete the bringup to
the final target state.

bringup_ap();

wait_for_completion();
cpuhp_online_idle();
<------------ complete();
unpark(AP->stopper);
unpark(AP->hotplugthread);
while(1)
do_idle();
kick(AP->hotplugthread);
wait_for_completion(); hotplug_thread()
run_online_callbacks();
complete();
