commit 07edfece8bcb0580a1828d939e6f8d91a8603eb2 upstream.
At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_worker() may preempt a worker while it is waking up. In that case the following scenario can happen:
unbind_workers() wq_worker_running() -------------- ------------------- if (!(worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING)) //PREEMPTED by unbind_workers worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND; [...] atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0); //resume to worker atomic_inc(&worker->pool->nr_running);
After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running with a value of 1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes idle:

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == 1", further queued work may end up not being served, because no worker is awaken at work insert time. This raises rcutorture writer stalls for example.
Fix this with disabling preemption in the right place in wq_worker_running().
It's worth noting that if the worker migrates and runs concurrently with unbind_workers(), it is guaranteed to see the WORKER_UNBOUND flag update due to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() acquiring/releasing rq->lock.
