The rework of the watchdog core to use cpu_stop_work broke the watchdog cpumask on CPU hotplug. The watchdog_enable/disable() functions are now called unconditionally from the hotplug callback, i.e. even on CPUs which are not in the watchdog cpumask. As a consequence the watchdog can become unstoppable. Only invoke them when the plugged CPU is in the watchdog cpumask.

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.
