Pulling cpu hotplug locks inside the page allocator is just too
dangerous.  Let's remove the dependency by dropping get_online_cpus()
from drain_all_pages.  This is not so simple though because now we do
not have a protection against cpu hotplug which means 2 things:

  - the work item might be executed on a different cpu in worker from
    unbound pool so it doesn't run on pinned on the cpu

  - we have to make sure that we do not race with page_alloc_cpu_dead
    calling drain_pages_zone

Disabling preemption in drain_local_pages_wq will solve the first
problem drain_local_pages will determine its local CPU from the WQ
context which will be stable after that point, page_alloc_cpu_dead is
pinned to the CPU already.  The later condition is achieved by disabling
IRQs in drain_pages_zone.

Fixes: mm, page_alloc: drain per-cpu pages from workqueue context

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
