mm, hotplug: fix concurrent memory hot-add deadlock
There's a deadlock when concurrently hot-adding memory through the probe
interface and switching a memory block from offline to online.
When hot-adding memory via the probe interface, add_memory() first takes
mem_hotplug_begin() and then device_lock() is later taken when registering
the newly initialized memory block. This creates a lock dependency of (1)
mem_hotplug.lock (2) dev->mutex.
When switching a memory block from offline to online, dev->mutex is first
grabbed in device_online() when the write(2) transitions an existing
memory block from offline to online, and then online_pages() will take
mem_hotplug_begin().
This creates a lock inversion between mem_hotplug.lock and dev->mutex.
Vitaly reports that this deadlock can happen when kworker handling a probe
event races with systemd-udevd switching a memory block's state.
This patch requires the state transition to take mem_hotplug_begin()
before dev->mutex. Hot-adding memory via the probe interface creates a
memory block while holding mem_hotplug_begin(), there is no way to take
dev->mutex first in this case.
online_pages() and offline_pages() are only called when transitioning
memory block state. We now require that mem_hotplug_begin() is taken
before calling them -- this requires exporting the mem_hotplug_begin() and
mem_hotplug_done() to generic code. In all hot-add and hot-remove cases,
mem_hotplug_begin() is done prior to device_online(). This is all that is
needed to avoid the deadlock.
