From 9feb42ac88b516e378b9782e82b651ca5bed95c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 14:56:18 +0200 Subject: ia64/sn/hwperf: Replace racy task affinity logic sn_hwperf_op_cpu() which is invoked from an ioctl requires to run code on the requested cpu. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original affinity afterwards. That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the new affinity setting. Replace it by using work_on_cpu_safe() which guarantees to run the code on the requested CPU or to fail in case the CPU is offline.
