commit 7e6b3fcc9c5294aeafed0dbe1a09a1bc899bd0f2 upstream.
Lockdep reports this deadlock log:
osnoise: could not start sampling thread ============================================ WARNING: possible recursive locking detected -------------------------------------------- CPU0 ---- lock(cpu_hotplug_lock); lock(cpu_hotplug_lock);

This is the deadlock scenario: osnoise_hotplug_workfn() guard(cpus_read_lock)(); // first lock call start_kthread(cpu) if (IS_ERR(kthread)) { stop_per_cpu_kthreads(); { cpus_read_lock(); // second lock call. Cause the AA deadlock } }
It is not necessary to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads() which stops osnoise kthread for every other CPUs in the system if a failure occurs during hotplug of a certain CPU. For start_per_cpu_kthreads(), if the start_kthread() call fails, this function calls stop_per_cpu_kthreads() to handle the error. Therefore, similarly, there is no need to call stop_per_cpu_kthreads() again within start_kthread(). So just remove stop_per_cpu_kthreads() from start_kthread to solve this issue.
