As a result, it won't be accessed in the for_each_online_cpu loop. So, we could change the if(cpu == dying) statement into a WARN_ON_ONCE(). 2. cmci_rediscover() used set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to change the current process's running cpu, and migrate itself to the dest cpu. But worker processes are not allowed to be migrated. If current is a worker, the worker will be migrated to another cpu, but the corresponding worker_pool is still on the original cpu. In this case, the following BUG_ON in try_to_wake_up_local() will be triggered: BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()); This will cause the kernel panic. This patch removes the set_cpus_allowed_ptr() call, and put the cmci rediscover jobs onto all the other cpus using system_wq. This could bring some delay for the jobs. The following is call trace.
