@@ -154,6 +154,21 @@ and 'static_key_count()'. In general, if you use these functions, they
should be protected with the same mutex used around the enable/disable
or increment/decrement function.
+Note that switching branches results in some locks being taken,
+particularly the CPU hotplug lock (in order to avoid races against
+CPUs being brought in the kernel whilst the kernel is getting
+patched). Calling the static key API from within a hotplug notifier is
+thus a sure deadlock recipe. In order to still allow use of the
+functionnality, the following functions are provided:
+
+ static_key_enable_cpuslocked()
+ static_key_disable_cpuslocked()
+ static_branch_enable_cpuslocked()
+ static_branch_disable_cpuslocked()
+
+These functions are *not* general purpose, and must only be used when
+you really know that you're in the above context, and no other.

Where an array of keys is required, it can be defined as::
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_ARRAY_TRUE(keys, count);
