E.g.: for i in `seq 5000`; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online done Will result in: INFO: task /cpu_start_stop:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds. Call Trace: ([<00000000006a028e>] __schedule+0x406/0x91c) [<0000000000130f60>] cpu_hotplug_begin+0xd0/0xd4 [<0000000000130ff6>] _cpu_up+0x3e/0x1c4 [<0000000000131232>] cpu_up+0xb6/0xd4 [<00000000004a5720>] device_online+0x80/0xc0 [<00000000004a57f0>] online_store+0x90/0xb0 ... And a deadlock. Problem is that if the last ref in put_online_cpus() can't get the cpu_hotplug.lock the puts_pending count is incremented, but a sleeping active_writer might never be woken up, therefore never exiting the loop in cpu_hotplug_begin(). This fix removes puts_pending and turns refcount into an atomic variable. We also introduce a wait queue for the active_writer, to avoid possible races and use-after-free. There is no need to take the lock in put_online_cpus() anymore. Can't reproduce it with this fix.
