| |
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 hw-breakpoint code in arm64 by using this latter form of callback registration.
