Now lets try to remove lglocks from stop_machine.c. See the patch at
the end. It lacks the comments and the changelog, just for review.

On top of this series, so let me show the code with this patch applied,

static int cpu_stop_queue_two_works(int cpu1, struct cpu_stop_work *work1,
int cpu2, struct cpu_stop_work *work2)
{
struct cpu_stopper *stopper1 = per_cpu_ptr(&cpu_stopper, cpu1);
struct cpu_stopper *stopper2 = per_cpu_ptr(&cpu_stopper, cpu2);
int err;
retry:
spin_lock_irq(&stopper1->lock);
spin_lock_nested(&stopper2->lock, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);
err = -ENOENT;
if (!cpu_active(cpu1) || !cpu_active(cpu2))
goto unlock;

BUG_ON(!stopper1->enabled || !stopper2->enabled);

err = -EDEADLK;
if (list_empty(&stopper1->stop_work.list) !=
list_empty(&stopper2->stop_work.list))
goto unlock;

err = 0;
list_add_tail(&work1->list, &stopper1->works);
list_add_tail(&work2->list, &stopper2->works);
wake_up_process(stopper1->thread);
wake_up_process(stopper2->thread);
unlock:
spin_unlock(&stopper2->lock);
spin_unlock_irq(&stopper1->lock);

if (unlikely(err == -EDEADLK)) {
cond_resched();
goto retry;
}
return err;
}

int stop_two_cpus(unsigned int cpu1, unsigned int cpu2, cpu_stop_fn_t fn, void *arg)
{
struct cpu_stop_done done;
struct cpu_stop_work work1, work2;
struct multi_stop_data msdata = {
.fn = fn,
.data = arg,
.num_threads = 2,
.active_cpus = cpumask_of(cpu1),
};

set_state(&msdata, MULTI_STOP_PREPARE);
cpu_stop_init_done(&done, 2);

work1.fn = work2.fn = multi_cpu_stop;
work1.arg = work2.arg = &msdata;
work1.done = work2.done = &done;

if (cpu1 > cpu2)
swap(cpu1, cpu2);
if (cpu_stop_queue_two_works(cpu1, &work1, cpu2, &work2))
return -ENOENT;

wait_for_completion(&done.completion);
BUG_ON(!done.executed);
return done.ret;
}

Note the -EDEADLK check in cpu_stop_queue_two_works(). This avoids the
race with stop_cpus(). We need to ensure that if we race with stop_cpus()
then either stop_cpus() wins and queues both works on these CPU's, or
we win this race and queue both works.

The "false positive" -EDEADLK can happen if we race with, say,
stop_cpus(cpumask_of(cpu1)). But this is very unlikely (in fact it is
always called with cpumask == cpu_online_mask), and in this case we
need to wait anyway, so I think the "busy wait" loop can work.

As for cpu_active() checks... This was copied from the current code,
but I think they should die later. This needs another cleanup, imo
the stopper->enabled logic should be improved.

What do you think?

Oleg.
