Ming Lei 39f603a262 lib/group_cpus.c: avoid acquiring cpu hotplug lock in group_cpus_evenly
commit 0263f92fadbb9d294d5971ac57743f882c93b2b3 upstream.

group_cpus_evenly() could be part of storage driver's error handler, such
as nvme driver, when may happen during CPU hotplug, in which storage queue
has to drain its pending IOs because all CPUs associated with the queue
are offline and the queue is becoming inactive.  And handling IO needs
error handler to provide forward progress.

Then deadlock is caused:

1) inside CPU hotplug handler, CPU hotplug lock is held, and blk-mq's
   handler is waiting for inflight IO

2) error handler is waiting for CPU hotplug lock

3) inflight IO can't be completed in blk-mq's CPU hotplug handler
   because error handling can't provide forward progress.

Solve the deadlock by not holding CPU hotplug lock in group_cpus_evenly(),
in which two stage spreads are taken: 1) the 1st stage is over all present
CPUs; 2) the end stage is over all other CPUs.

Turns out the two stage spread just needs consistent 'cpu_present_mask',
and remove the CPU hotplug lock by storing it into one local cache.  This
way doesn't change correctness, because all CPUs are still covered.

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.
