Ritesh and Eric separately reported crashes in XFS's hook function for
CPU hot remove if the remove event races with a filesystem being
mounted. I also noticed via generic/650 that once in a while the log
will shut down over an apparent overrun of a transaction reservation;
this turned out to be due to CIL percpu list aggregation failing to pick
up the percpu list items from a dying CPU.
Either way, the solution here is to eliminate the need for a CPU dying
hook by using a private cpumask to track which CPUs have added to their
percpu lists directly, and iterating with that mask. This fixes the log
problems and (I think) solves a theoretical UAF bug in the inodegc code
too.
v2: fix a few put_cpu uses, add necessary memory barriers, and use
atomic cpumask operations
This has been lightly tested with fstests. Enjoy!

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
