rcu: rcu_barrier VS cpu_hotplug: Ensure callbacks in dead cpu are migrated to online cpu
cpu hotplug may happen asynchronously, some rcu callbacks are maybe still on dead cpu, rcu_barrier() also needs to wait for these rcu callbacks to complete, so we must ensure callbacks in dead cpu are migrated to online cpu. Paul E. McKenney's review: Good stuff, Lai!!! Simpler than any of the approaches that I was considering, and, better yet, independent of the underlying RCU implementation!!! I was initially worried that wake_up() might wake only one of two possible wait_event()s, namely rcu_barrier() and the CPU_POST_DEAD code, but the fact that wait_event() clears WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE avoids that issue. I was also worried about the fact that different RCU implementations have different mappings of call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), and call_rcu_sched(), but this is OK as well because we just get an extra (harmless) callback in the case that they map together (for example, Classic RCU has call_rcu_sched() mapping to call_rcu()). Overlap of CPU-hotplug operations is prevented by cpu_add_remove_lock, and any stray callbacks that arrive (for example, from irq handlers running on the dying CPU) either are ahead of the CPU_DYING callbacks on the one hand (and thus accounted for), or happened after the rcu_barrier() started on the other (and thus don't need to be accounted for).
