From 106c77e82572921fa53483235a55adb7cb9452c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Fri, 2 Jun 2017 16:27:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cpu/hotplug: Drop the device lock on error commit 40da1b11f01e43aad1aa6cea64681b6125e8a2a7 upstream. If a custom CPU target is specified and that one is not available _or_ can't be interrupted then the code returns to userland without dropping a lock as notices by lockdep: |echo 133 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu7/hotplug/target | ================================================ | [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ] | ------------------------------------------------ | bash/503 is leaving the kernel with locks still held! | 1 lock held by bash/503: | #0: (device_hotplug_lock){+.+...}, at: [] lock_device_hotplug_sysfs+0x10/0x40 So release the lock then.
