[PATCH v3 40/52] intel-idle: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-10 20:40:47
Also in: linux-arch, linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: intel idle driver, the rest · Maintainers: Rafael J. Wysocki, Artem Bityutskiy, Artem Bityutskiy, Linus Torvalds

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).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();


Fix the intel-idle code by using this latter form of callback registration.
