This issue occurs at CPU hotplug/set_affinity stress test.
The reproduce ratio is very low(about once a week).

So I add/record some debug message to snapshot the task status while it
stuck on wait_for_completion.

Below is the snapshot status while issue happened:

cpu_active_mask is 0xFC
new_mask is 0x8
pending->arg.dest_cpu is 0x3
task_on_cpu(rq,p) is 1
task_cpu is 0x2
p__state = TASK_RUNNING
flag is SCA_CHACK|SCA_USER
stop_one_cpu_nowait(stopper->enabled) return value is false.

I also record the footprint at migration_cpu_stop.
It shows the migration_cpu_stop is not execute.

I think -ENOENT means stopper is not execute?
Perhaps the error code is abused, or could you kindly give me some
suggestions?
