- * The operation is still serialized against concurrent CPU hotplug via
- * cpu_add_remove_lock, i.e. CPU map protection. But it is _not_
- * serialized against other hotplug related activity like adding or
- * removing of state callbacks and state instances, which invoke either the
- * startup or the teardown callback of the affected state.
- *
- * This is required for subsystems which are unfixable vs. CPU hotplug and
- * evade lock inversion problems by scheduling work which has to be
- * completed _before_ cpu_up()/_cpu_down() returns.
- *
- * Don't even think about adding anything to this for any new code or even
- * drivers. It's only purpose is to keep existing lock order trainwrecks
- * working.
- *
- * For cpu_down() there might be valid reasons to finish cleanups which are
- * not required to be done under cpu_hotplug_lock, but that's a different
- * story and would be not invoked via this.

- * cpusets delegate hotplug operations to a worker to "solve" the
- * lock order problems. Wait for the worker, but only if tasks are
- * _not_ frozen (suspend, hibernate) as that would wait forever.
- *
- * The wait is required because otherwise the hotplug operation
- * returns with inconsistent state, which could even be observed in
- * user space when a new CPU is brought up. The CPU plug uevent
- * would be delivered and user space reacting on it would fail to
- * move tasks to the newly plugged CPU up to the point where the
- * work has finished because up to that point the newly plugged CPU
- * is not assignable in cpusets/cgroups. On unplug that's not
- * necessarily a visible issue, but it is still inconsistent state,
- * which is the real problem which needs to be "fixed". This can't
- * prevent the transient state between scheduling the work and
- * returning from waiting for it.
