| |
From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
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.
