powerpc: smp_send_stop do not offline stopped CPUs Marking CPUs stopped by smp_send_stop as offline can cause warnings due to cross-CPU wakeups. This trace was noticed on a busy system running a sysrq+c crash test, after the injected crash: WARNING: CPU: 51 PID: 1546 at kernel/sched/core.c:1179 set_task_cpu+0x22c/0x240 CPU: 51 PID: 1546 Comm: kworker/u352:1 Tainted: G D Workqueue: mlx5e mlx5e_update_stats_work [mlx5_core] [...] NIP [c00000000017c21c] set_task_cpu+0x22c/0x240 LR [c00000000017d580] try_to_wake_up+0x230/0x720 Call Trace: [c000000001017700] runqueues+0x0/0xb00 (unreliable) [c00000000017d580] try_to_wake_up+0x230/0x720 [c00000000015a214] insert_work+0x104/0x140 [c00000000015adb0] __queue_work+0x230/0x690 [c000003fc5007910] [c00000000015b26c] queue_work_on+0x5c/0x90 [c0080000135fc8f8] mlx5_cmd_exec+0x538/0xcb0 [mlx5_core] [c008000013608fd0] mlx5_core_access_reg+0x140/0x1d0 [mlx5_core] [c00800001362777c] mlx5e_update_pport_counters.constprop.59+0x6c/0x90 [mlx5_core] [c008000013628868] mlx5e_update_ndo_stats+0x28/0x90 [mlx5_core] [c008000013625558] mlx5e_update_stats_work+0x68/0xb0 [mlx5_core] [c00000000015bcec] process_one_work+0x1bc/0x5f0 [c00000000015ecac] worker_thread+0xac/0x6b0 [c000000000168338] kthread+0x168/0x1b0 [c00000000000b628] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0xb4 This happens because firstly the CPU is not really offline in the usual sense, processes and interrupts have not been migrated away. Secondly smp_send_stop does not happen atomically on all CPUs, so one CPU can have marked itself offline, while another CPU is still running processes or interrupts which can affect the first CPU. Fix this by just not marking the CPU as offline. It's more like frozen in time, so offline does not really reflect its state properly anyway. There should be nothing in the crash/panic path that walks online CPUs and synchronously waits for them, so this change should not introduce new hangs.
