Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). The xen balloon driver doesn't take get/put_online_cpus() around this code, but that is also buggy, since it can miss CPU hotplug events in between the initialization and callback registration: for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); ^ | Race window; Can miss CPU hotplug events here. v register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); Interestingly, the balloon code in xen can simply be reorganized as shown below, to have a race-free method to register hotplug callbacks, without even taking get/put_online_cpus(). This is because the initialization performed for already online CPUs is exactly the same as that performed for CPUs that come online later. Moreover, the code has checks in place to avoid double initialization. register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); put_online_cpus(); A hotplug operation that occurs between registering the notifier and calling get_online_cpus(), won't disrupt anything, because the code takes care to perform the memory allocations only once. So reorganize the balloon code in xen this way to fix the issues with CPU hotplug callback registration.
