| |
This series of patches fixes the error handling for cpu hotplug. The problem is revealed by CPU hotplug/unplug test with fault-injection.
The patch 1-3 are sysfs or driver core related error handling fixes. These are not directly related to cpu hotplug. But these are needed to pass the stress test.
The patch 4 changes the behavior when one of the callbacks in notifier chain returns NOTIFY_BAD with CPU_UP_PREPARE event. This change makes cpu hotplug error handling simple.
The patch 5 simplifies the cpu hotplug event handling in topology.c by the patch 4.
The patch 6-10 are error handling fixes in cpu hotplug event callbacks. These fixes also depend on the change by the patch 4.
Here is the test script I have confirmed with these patches. I guess we still have the similar bugs that I could not test due to no hardware. So it may be worth someone trying this script.

#!/bin/bash

faulty_system() { bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/self/make-it-fail && exec $*" }
[ "$UID" == 0 ] || exit 1 [ -n "$FAILTYPE" -a -f /debug/$FAILTYPE/probability ] || exit 1 [ -f $CPU_ONLINE ] || exit 1
echo N > /debug/$FAILTYPE/ignore-gfp-wait echo Y > /debug/$FAILTYPE/task-filter echo 1 > /debug/$FAILTYPE/probability echo -1 > /debug/$FAILTYPE/times
while true do faulty_system "echo 0 > $CPU_ONLINE" faulty_system "echo 1 > $CPU_ONLINE" done
