Subject: [RFC][PATCH] sched: Fix a deadlock of cpu-hotplug

We found poweroff sometimes fails on our computers, so we have the
lock debug options configured. Then, when we do poweroff or take a
cpu down via cpu-hotplug, kernel complain as below. To resove this,
we modify sched_ttwu_pending(), disable the local irq when acquire
rq->lock.

Weird, that's from a CPU_DYING call, I thought those were with IRQs
disabled.

Look at how __stop_machine() calls the function with IRQs disabled for !
stop_machine_initialized or !SMP. Also stop_machine_cpu_stop() seems to
disabled interrupts, so how do we end up calling take_cpu_down() with
IRQs enabled?

That simply doesn't make any sense.

That's wrong though, you add the cost to the common case instead of the
hardly ever ran hotplug case.

I see, this is an arch-specific bug, sorry for my carelessness and thank

What arch are you using? And what exactly did the arch do wrong? Most of
the code involved seems to be common code.

Going by c0_compare_interrupt, this is some MIPS device.

Yes, I'm use MIPS, In a place which local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore()
should be used, I use local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() by mistake.

The patch is no doubt wrong...

The discuss in:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/19/164

Which also faced the issue that the timer interrupt come in after apic
was shut down, I'm not sure whether this could do help to Huacai, just
as a clue...

One interesting thing that I noted in that case was that we noticed that
(stale) interrupt exactly at the call to local_irq_restore() in
stop_machine_cpu_stop().

However, as Peter pointed out, migration_call's CPU_DYING notifier runs
right in the middle of the stop machine dance, much much before the call
to local_irq_restore().. so it doesn't look like a case of a stale interrupt
being recognized.. it looks as if the sequence of local_irq_disable(),
hard_irq_disable() and __cpu_disable() somehow managed to wrongly keep the
interrupts still enabled...
