At CPU-hotplug time, unbind_worker() may preempt a worker while it is
waking up. In that case the following scenario can happen:
unbind_workers() wq_worker_running()
-------------- -------------------
if (!(worker->flags & WORKER_NOT_RUNNING))
//PREEMPTED by unbind_workers
worker->flags |= WORKER_UNBOUND;
[...]
atomic_set(&pool->nr_running, 0);
//resume to worker
atomic_inc(&worker->pool->nr_running);
After unbind_worker() resets pool->nr_running, the value is expected to
remain 0 until the pool ever gets rebound in case cpu_up() is called on
the target CPU in the future. But here the race leaves pool->nr_running
with a value of 1, triggering the following warning when the worker goes
idle:

Also due to this incorrect "nr_running == 1", further queued work may
end up not being served, because no worker is awaken at work insert time.
This raises rcutorture writer stalls for example.
Fix this with disabling preemption in the right place in
wq_worker_running().
It's worth noting that if the worker migrates and runs concurrently with
unbind_workers(), it is guaranteed to see the WORKER_UNBOUND flag update
due to set_cpus_allowed_ptr() acquiring/releasing rq->lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
