mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock
There's a deadlock when concurrently hot-adding memory through the probe interface and switching a memory block from offline to online. When hot-adding memory via the probe interface, add_memory() first takes mem_hotplug_begin() and then device_lock() is later taken when registering the newly initialized memory block. This creates a lock dependency of (1) mem_hotplug.lock (2) dev->mutex. When switching a memory block from offline to online, dev->mutex is first grabbed in device_online() when the write(2) transitions an existing memory block from offline to online, and then online_pages() will take mem_hotplug_begin(). This creates a lock inversion between mem_hotplug.lock and dev->mutex. Vitaly reports that this deadlock can happen when kworker handling a probe event races with systemd-udevd switching a memory block's state. This patch requires the state transition to take mem_hotplug_begin() before dev->mutex. Hot-adding memory via the probe interface creates a memory block while holding mem_hotplug_begin(), there is no way to take dev->mutex first in this case. online_pages() and offline_pages() are only called when transitioning memory block state. We now require that mem_hotplug_begin() is taken before calling them -- this requires exporting the mem_hotplug_begin() and mem_hotplug_done() to generic code. In all hot-add and hot-remove cases, mem_hotplug_begin() is done prior to device_online(). This is all that is needed to avoid the deadlock.
