x86/hotplug: Silence APIC only after all interrupts are migrated
There is a race when taking a CPU offline. Current code looks like this:
native_cpu_disable()
{
...
apic_soft_disable();
/*
* Any existing set bits for pending interrupt to
* this CPU are preserved and will be sent via IPI
* to another CPU by fixup_irqs().
*/
cpu_disable_common();
{
....
/*
* Race window happens here. Once local APIC has been
* disabled any new interrupts from the device to
* the old CPU are lost
*/
fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR.
...
}
}
The fix is to disable the APIC *after* cpu_disable_common().
Testing was done with a USB NIC that provided a source of frequent
interrupts. A script migrated interrupts to a specific CPU and
then took that CPU offline.
