rcu: Fix deadlock with CPU hotplug, RCU GP init, and timer migration
In Steven Rostedt's words: > I've been debugging the last couple of days why my tests have been > locking up. One of my tracing tests, runs all available tracers. The > lockup always happened with the mmiotrace, which is used to trace > interactions between priority drivers and the kernel. But to do this > easily, when the tracer gets registered, it disables all but the boot > CPUs. The lockup always happened after it got done disabling the CPUs. > > Then I decided to try this: > > while :; do > for i in 1 2 3; do > echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online > done > for i in 1 2 3; do > echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online > done > done > > Well, sure enough, that locked up too, with the same users.

Here's our deadlock! This commit breaks this deadlock cycle by substituting a shorter udelay() for the previous schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(), while at the same time increasing the probability of the delay. This maintains the intensity of the testing. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
