From: Wei Li <liwei391@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 2a13ca2e8abb12ee43ada8a107dadca83f140937 upstream. The cpuhp online/offline processing race also exists in percpu-mode hwlat tracer in theory, apply the fix too. That is: T1 | T2 [CPUHP_ONLINE] | cpu_device_down() hwlat_hotplug_workfn() | | cpus_write_lock() | takedown_cpu(1) | cpus_write_unlock() [CPUHP_OFFLINE] | cpus_read_lock() | start_kthread(1) | cpus_read_unlock() | Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20240924094515.3561410-5-liwei391@xxxxxxxxxx Fixes: ba998f7d9531 ("trace/hwlat: Support hotplug operations") Signed-off-by: Wei Li <liwei391@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) --- a/kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c @@ -520,6 +520,8 @@ static void hwlat_hotplug_workfn(struct if (!hwlat_busy || hwlat_data.thread_mode != MODE_PER_CPU) goto out_unlock; + if (!cpu_online(cpu)) + goto out_unlock; if (!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, tr->tracing_cpumask)) goto out_unlock; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from liwei391@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-5.15/tracing-timerlat-fix-a-race-during-cpuhp-processing.patch queue-5.15/tracing-hwlat-fix-a-race-during-cpuhp-processing.patch
