[for-linus][PATCH 8/8] tracing/hwlat: Fix a race during cpuhp processing
Posted by Steven Rostedt 1 month, 3 weeks ago
From: Wei Li <liwei391@huawei.com>

The cpuhp online/offline processing race also exists in percpu-mode hwlat
tracer in theory, apply the fix too. That is:

    T1                       | T2
    [CPUHP_ONLINE]           | cpu_device_down()
     hwlat_hotplug_workfn()  |
                             |     cpus_write_lock()
                             |     takedown_cpu(1)
                             |     cpus_write_unlock()
    [CPUHP_OFFLINE]          |
        cpus_read_lock()     |
        start_kthread(1)     |
        cpus_read_unlock()   |
