As the comments in __acpi_os_execute() said: We can't run hotplug code in keventd_wq/kacpid_wq/kacpid_notify_wq because the hotplug code may call driver .remove() functions, which invoke flush_scheduled_work/acpi_os_wait_events_complete to flush these workqueues. we should keep the hotplug code in kacpi_hotplug_wq. But we have the following call series in kernel now: acpi_ev_queue_notify_request() |--> acpi_os_execute() |--> __acpi_os_execute(type, function, context, 0) The last parameter 0 makes the container_notify_cb() executed in kacpi_notify_wq or kacpid_wq. So, we need to put the real hotplug code into kacpi_hotplug_wq.
