smpboot: Add missing get_online_cpus() in smpboot_register_percpu_thread()
The following race exists in the smpboot percpu threads management:
CPU0 CPU1
cpu_up(2)
get_online_cpus();
smpboot_create_threads(2);
smpboot_register_percpu_thread();
for_each_online_cpu();
__smpboot_create_thread();
__cpu_up(2);
This results in a missing per cpu thread for the newly onlined cpu2 and
in a NULL pointer dereference on a consecutive offline of that cpu.
Proctect smpboot_register_percpu_thread() with get_online_cpus() to
prevent that.
[ tglx: Massaged changelog and removed the change in
smpboot_unregister_percpu_thread() because that's an
optimization and therefor not stable material. ]
