To avoid this issue and to provide a race-free method to register CPU hotplug callbacks (along with initialization of already online CPUs), introduce new variants of the callback registration APIs that simply register the callbacks without holding the cpu_add_remove_lock during the registration. That way, we can avoid the ABBA scenario. However, we will need to hold the cpu_add_remove_lock throughout the entire critical section, to protect updates to the callback/notifier chain. This can be achieved by writing the callback registration code as follows: cpu_maps_update_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* This doesn't take the cpu_add_remove_lock */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_maps_update_done(); Note that we can't use get_online_cpus() here instead of cpu_maps_update_begin() because the cpu_hotplug.lock is dropped during the invocation of CPU_POST_DEAD notifiers, and hence get_online_cpus() cannot provide the necessary synchronization to protect the callback/notifier chains against concurrent reads and writes. On the other hand, since the cpu_add_remove_lock protects the entire hotplug operation (including CPU_POST_DEAD), we can use cpu_maps_update_begin/done() to guarantee proper synchronization. Also, since cpu_maps_update_begin/done() is like a super-set of get/put_online_cpus(), the former naturally protects the critical sections from concurrent hotplug operations. So, introduce the lockless variants of un/register_cpu_notifier() and also export the cpu_maps_update_begin/done() APIs for use by modules. This way, we provide a race-free way to register hotplug callbacks as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online. Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Toshi Kani Cc: "Rafael J.
