But unfortunately there is no race-free way to achieve this today. For example, consider this piece of code: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is not safe because there is a possibility of an ABBA deadlock involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- Acquire cpu_hotplug.lock [via get_online_cpus()] CPU online/offline operation takes cpu_add_remove_lock [via cpu_maps_update_begin()] Try to acquire cpu_add_remove_lock [via register_cpu_notifier()] CPU online/offline operation tries to acquire cpu_hotplug.lock [via cpu_hotplug_begin()] *** DEADLOCK! *** Other combinations of callback registration also don't work correctly. Examples: register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); put_online_cpus(); This can lead to double initialization if a hotplug operation occurs after registering the notifier and before invoking get_online_cpus(). On the other hand, the following piece of code can miss hotplug events altogether: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); put_online_cpus(); ^ | Race window; Can miss hotplug events here v register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); To solve these issues and provide a race-free method to register CPU hotplug callbacks, this patchset introduces new variants of the callback registration APIs that don't hold the cpu_add_remove_lock, and exports the cpu_add_remove_lock via 2 new APIs cpu_notifier_register_begin/done() for use by various subsystems. With this in place, the following code snippet will register a hotplug callback as well as initialize already online CPUs without any race conditions. cpu_notifier_register_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_notifier_register_done(); In this patchset, patch 1 adds lockdep annotations to catch the above mentioned deadlock scenario. Patch 2 introduces the new APIs and infrastructure necessary for race-free callback registration. The remaining patches perform tree-wide conversions (to use this model). This patchset has been hosted in the below git tree. It applies cleanly on v3.14-rc1. git://github.com/srivatsabhat/linux.git cpuhp-registration-fixes-v2 Gautham R.
