In smp_cpu_stop_nolock(), when you do a SIGP_STOP_AND_STORE_STATUS, you
wait until the target CPU is stopped.

This does, however, not guarantee that the state has already been stored
- especially not if the target CPU is already stopped.

Stop and Store Status
The addressed CPU performs the stop function, fol-
lowed by the store-status operation (see “Store Sta-
tus” on page 4-82). The CPU does not necessarily
complete the operation, or even enter the stopped
state, during the execution of SIGNAL PROCES-
SOR ..."

So there is a race in your code. I do wonder how you can test if the
order on the target CPU has been executed, without issuing another SIGP
operation (e.g., restart) or by testing if the content to be stored was
all changed ...
