[patch 14/20] kernel/hotplug: Use stop_machine_locked() in takedown_cpu()

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Sat Apr 15 2017 - 13:34:16 EST


From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

takedown_cpu() is a cpu hotplug function invoking stop_machine(). The cpu
hotplug machinery holds the hotplug lock for write.

stop_machine() invokes get_online_cpus() as well. This is correct, but
prevents the conversion of the hotplug locking to a percpu rwsem.

Use stop_machine_locked() to avoid the nested call.
