2015-06-19sched/stop_machine: Fix deadlock between multiple stop_two_cpus()Peter Zijlstra1-0/+22
Jiri reported a machine stuck in multi_cpu_stop() with migrate_swap_stop() as function and with the following src,dst cpu pairs: {11, 4} {13, 11} { 4, 13} 4 11 13 cpuM: queue(4 ,13) *Ma cpuN: queue(13,11) *N Na *M Mb cpuO: queue(11, 4) *O Oa *Nb *Ob Where *X denotes the cpu running the queueing of cpu-X and X[ab] denotes the first/second queued work. You'll observe the top of the workqueue for each cpu: 4,11,13 to be work from cpus: M, O, N resp. IOW. deadlock. Do away with the queueing trickery and introduce lg_double_lock() to lock both CPUs and fully serialize the stop_two_cpus() callers instead of the partial (and buggy) serialization we have now.
