Thomas Gleixner 9c388a5ed1 watchdog/harclockup/perf: Revert a33d44843d ("watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Simplify deferred event destroy") ... Guenter reported a crash in the watchdog/perf code, which is caused by cleanup() and enable() running concurrently. The reason for this is: The watchdog functions are serialized via the watchdog_mutex and cpu hotplug locking, but the enable of the perf based watchdog happens in context of the unpark callback of the smpboot thread. But that unpark function is not synchronous inside the locking. The unparking of the thread just wakes it up and leaves so there is no guarantee when the thread is executing. If it starts running _before_ the cleanup happened then it will create a event and overwrite the dead event pointer. The new event is then cleaned up because the event is marked dead. lock(watchdog_mutex); lockup_detector_reconfigure(); cpus_read_lock(); stop(); park() update(); start(); unpark() cpus_read_unlock(); thread runs() overwrite dead event ptr cleanup(); free new event, which is active inside perf.... unlock(watchdog_mutex); The park side is safe as that actually waits for the thread to reach parked state. Commit a33d44843d removed the protection against this kind of scenario under the stupid assumption that the hotplug serialization and the watchdog_mutex cover everything. Bring it back.
