From 177c53d943368fc97644ebc0a250dc8e2d124250 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:39:05 +0100 Subject: stop_machine: Fix^2 race between stop_two_cpus() and stop_cpus() We must use smp_call_function_single(.wait=1) for the irq_cpu_stop_queue_work() to ensure the queueing is actually done under stop_cpus_lock. Without this we could have dropped the lock by the time we do the queueing and get the race we tried to fix.
