From b7a349819d4b9b5db64e523351e66a79a758eaa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 21:37:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/core: Rework CPU hotplug locking The watchdog proc interface causes extensive recursive locking of the CPU hotplug percpu rwsem, which is deadlock prone. Replace the get/put_online_cpus() pairs with cpu_hotplug_disable()/enable() calls for now. Later patches will remove that requirement completely.
