There is a subtle race in the CPU hotplug code, where a CPU which has been offlined can online itself before being requested, which results in things going astray on the next online/offline cycle. What happens in the normal online/offline/online cycle is: CPU0 CPU3 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 ... requests CPU3 offline ... ... dies ... checks pen_release, reads -1 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 However, as the write of -1 of pen_release is not fully flushed back to memory, and the checking of pen_release is done with caches disabled, this allows CPU3 the opportunity to read the old value of pen_release: CPU0 CPU3 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 ... requests CPU3 offline ... ... dies ... checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line Fix this by grouping the write of pen_release along with its cache line flushing code to ensure that any update to pen_release is always pushed out to physical memory.
