xen/smp: Fix CPU online/offline bug triggering a BUG: scheduling while atomic.
When a user offlines a VCPU and then onlines it, we get: NMI watchdog disabled (cpu2): hardware events not enabled BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/2/0/0x00000002 Modules linked in: dm_multipath dm_mod xen_evtchn iscsi_boot_sysfs iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi scsi_mod libcrc32c crc32c radeon fbco ttm bitblit softcursor drm_kms_helper xen_blkfront xen_netfront xen_fbfront fb_sys_fops sysimgblt sysfillrect syscopyarea xen_kbdfront xenfs [last unloaded: Pid: 0, comm: swapper/2 Tainted: G O 3.2.0phase15.1-00003-gd6f7f5b-dirty #4 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81070571>] __schedule_bug+0x61/0x70 [<ffffffff8158eb78>] __schedule+0x798/0x850 [<ffffffff8158ed6a>] schedule+0x3a/0x50 [<ffffffff810349be>] cpu_idle+0xbe/0xe0 [<ffffffff81583599>] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10 The reason for this should be obvious from this call-chain: cpu_bringup_and_idle: \- cpu_bringup | \-[preempt_disable] | |- cpu_idle \- play_dead [assuming the user offlined the VCPU] | \ | +- (xen_play_dead) | \- HYPERVISOR_VCPU_off [so VCPU is dead, once user | | onlines it starts from here] | \- cpu_bringup [preempt_disable] | +- preempt_enable_no_reschedule() +- schedule() \- preempt_enable() So we have two preempt_disble() and one preempt_enable(). Calling preempt_enable() after the cpu_bringup() in the xen_play_dead fixes the imbalance. Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
