From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: drivers/thermal/x86_pkg_temp_thermal.c: fix lockup of cpu_down()
Commit f1a18a105 ("Thermal: CPU Package temperature thermal") had code
that did a get_online_cpus(), run a loop and then do a put_online_cpus().
The problem is that the loop had an error exit that would skip the
put_online_cpus() part.
In the error exit part of the function, it also did a get_online_cpus(),
run a loop and then put_online_cpus(). The only way to get to the error
exit part is with get_online_cpus() already performed. If this error
condition is hit, the system will be prevented from taking CPUs offline.
The process taking the CPU offline will lock up hard.
Removing the get_online_cpus() removes the lockup as the hotplug CPU
refcount is back to zero.
This was bisected with ktest.
