From: liu chuansheng <chuansheng.liu@intel.com> Subject: [PATCH] Fix the race between smp_call_function and CPU booting
When system is waking up from suspend state, sometimes the smp_call_function is called which will cause deadlock specially on the platform which just has two CPUs.
CPU0: CPU1: pm_suspend --> suspend_devices_and_enter --> enable_nonboot_cpus --> _cpu_up --> __cpu_up --> native_cpu_up start_secondary -- set cpu online -- waiting for the active state new thread call: smp_call_function --> smp_call_function_many --> smp_call_function_single --> -- csd_lock -- generic_exec_single --> -- arch_send_call_function_single_ipi -- csd_lock_wait
At this time, both CPUs are blocked. Normally the CPU0 will set the CPU1 with active state after finished the _cpu_up calling, but CPU1 can not handle the IPI due to the corresponding irq is still disabled, which will be enabled after waiting for the active state.
The solution is just to send smp call to active cpus instead of online cpus.
