Merge tag 'cpu-hotplug-3.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

Pull CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat
  (with a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple
  subsystems that use CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to
  register them that will not lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline
  operations as described in the changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f ("CPU
  hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration
  functions").

  The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document
  it and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers
  and converts them to using the new method"

 Q: I don't see my action being called for all CPUs already up and running?
 A: Yes, CPU notifiers are called only when new CPUs are on-lined or offlined.
    If you need to perform some action for each cpu already in the system, then
+   do this:
 
 	for_each_online_cpu(i) {
 		foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier, CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
 		foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier, CPU_ONLINE, i);
 	}
 
+   However, if you want to register a hotplug callback, as well as perform
+   some initialization for CPUs that are already online, then do this:
+
+   Version 1: (Correct)
+   ---------
+
+   	cpu_notifier_register_begin();
+
+		for_each_online_cpu(i) {
+			foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
+					    CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
+			foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
+					    CPU_ONLINE, i);
+		}
+
+	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
+	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
+
+	cpu_notifier_register_done();
+
+   Note that the following code is *NOT* the right way to achieve this,
+   because it is prone to an ABBA deadlock between the cpu_add_remove_lock
+   and the cpu_hotplug.lock.
+
+   Version 2: (Wrong!)
+   ---------
+
+	get_online_cpus();
+
+		for_each_online_cpu(i) {
+			foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
+					    CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
+			foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier,
+					    CPU_ONLINE, i);
+		}
+
+	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
+
+	put_online_cpus();
+
+    So always use the first version shown above when you want to register
+    callbacks as well as initialize the already online CPUs.
+

 Q: If i would like to develop cpu hotplug support for a new architecture,
    what do i need at a minimum?
