MIPS: Fix race on setting and getting cpu_online_mask
commit 6f542ebeaee0ee552a902ce3892220fc22c7ec8e upstream.
While testing cpu hoptlug (cpu down and up in loops) on kernel 4.4, it was
observed that occasionally check for cpu online will fail in kernel/cpu.c,
_cpu_up:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/kernel/cpu.c?h=v4.4.79#n485
518 /* Arch-specific enabling code. */
519 ret = __cpu_up(cpu, idle);
520
521 if (ret != 0)
522 goto out_notify;
523 BUG_ON(!cpu_online(cpu));
Reason is race between start_secondary and _cpu_up. cpu_callin_map is set
before cpu_online_mask. In __cpu_up, cpu_callin_map is waited for, but cpu
online mask is not, resulting in race in which secondary processor started
and set cpu_callin_map, but not yet set the online mask,resulting in above
BUG being hit.
Upstream differs in the area. cpu_online check is in bringup_wait_for_ap,
which is after cpu reached AP_ONLINE_IDLE,where secondary passed its start
function. Nonetheless, fix makes start_secondary safe and not depending on
other locks throughout the code. It protects as well against cpu_online
checks put in between sometimes in the future.
Fix this by moving completion after all flags are set.
