Peter Zijlstra e7a65e899d stop_machine, sched: Fix migrate_swap() vs. active_balance() deadlock
[ Upstream commit 0b26351b910fb8fe6a056f8a1bbccabe50c0e19f ]

Matt reported the following deadlock:

CPU0					CPU1

schedule(.prev=migrate/0)		<fault>
  pick_next_task()			  ...
    idle_balance()			    migrate_swap()
      active_balance()			      stop_two_cpus()
						spin_lock(stopper0->lock)
						spin_lock(stopper1->lock)
						ttwu(migrate/0)
						  smp_cond_load_acquire() -- waits for schedule()
        stop_one_cpu(1)
	  spin_lock(stopper1->lock) -- waits for stopper lock

Fix this deadlock by taking the wakeups out from under stopper->lock.
This allows the active_balance() to queue the stop work and finish the
context switch, which in turn allows the wakeup from migrate_swap() to
observe the context and complete the wakeup.

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.
