The lockup detector suspend/resume interface that was introduced by commit 8c073d27d7ad ("watchdog: introduce watchdog_suspend() and watchdog_resume()") does not protect itself against races with CPU hotplug. Hence, theoretically it is possible that a new watchdog thread is started on a hotplugged CPU while the lockup detector is suspended, and the thread could thus interfere unexpectedly with the code that requested to suspend the lockup detector. Avoid the race by calling get_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_suspend() put_online_cpus() in lockup_detector_resume() Signed-off-by: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Aaron Tomlin <atomlin@redhat.com> Cc: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
