| |
There is a following AB-BA dependency between cpu_hotplug.lock and cpuidle_lock:
1) cpu_hotplug.lock -> cpuidle_lock enable_nonboot_cpus() _cpu_up() cpu_hotplug_being() LOCK(cpu_hotplug.lock) cpu_notify() ... acpi_processor_hotplug() cpuidle_pause_and_lock() LOCK(cpuidle_lock)
2) cpuidle_lock -> cpu_hotplug.lock acpi_os_execute_deferred() workqueue ... acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() cpuidle_pause_and_lock() LOCK(cpuidle_lock) get_online_cpus() LOCK(cpu_hotplug.lock)
Fix this by reversing the order acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() does thigs -- let it first execute the protection against CPU hotplug by calling get_online_cpus() and obtain the cpuidle lock only after that (and perform the symmentric change when allowing CPUs hotplug again and dropping cpuidle lock).
Spotted by lockdep.
