From 62db99f4783ea34531fc344bd8c539d5d186f24d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:51:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cpu: Avoid puts_pending overflow A long string of get_online_cpus() with each followed by a put_online_cpu() that fails to acquire cpu_hotplug.lock can result in overflow of the cpu_hotplug.puts_pending counter. Although this is perhaps improbably, a system with absolutely no CPU-hotplug operations will have an arbitrarily long time in which this overflow could occur. This commit therefore adds overflow checks to get_online_cpus() and try_get_online_cpus(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Reviewed-by: Pranith Kumar --- Reading git-format-patch failed
