From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In the CPU-offline process, it calls mmdrop() after idle entry and the
subsequent call to cpuhp_report_idle_dead(). Once execution passes the
call to rcu_report_dead(), RCU is ignoring the CPU, which results in
lockdep complaining when mmdrop() uses RCU from either memcg or
debugobjects below.
Fix it by cleaning up the active_mm state from BP instead. Every arch
which has CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU should have already called idle_task_exit()
from AP. The only exception is parisc because it switches them to
&init_mm unconditionally (see smp_boot_one_cpu() and smp_cpu_init()),
but the patch will still work there because it calls mmgrab(&init_mm) in
smp_cpu_init() and then should call mmdrop(&init_mm) in finish_cpu().
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
-----------------------------
kernel/workqueue.c:710 RCU or wq_pool_mutex should be held!
other info that might help us debug this:
RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
