<Prasad> Without this change boot up issues are observed with Linux
4.14.52.
One of the core is executing the stopper thread after wake_up_q() in
cpu_stop_queue_two_works() function, without waking up other cores
stopper thread.
We see this issue 100% on device boot up with Linux 4.14.52.

Could you please explain bit more how the deadlock occurs?
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);
DEFINE_WAKE_Q(wakeq);
int err;
retry:
raw_spin_lock_irq(&stopper1->lock);
raw_spin_lock_nested(&stopper2->lock, SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING);

<SNIP>

I think, you are suggesting to switch the locking sequence too.
stopper2->lock and stopper1->lock.

could you please share the test case to stress this code flow?

<Prasad> Work1 and work2 are having same data contents.
