A mirror of the official Linux kernel repository just in case

vmbus_process_offer() does two things (among others):
1) first, it sets the channel's target CPU with cpu_hotplug_lock;
2) it then adds the channel to the channel list(s) with channel_mutex.
Since cpu_hotplug_lock is released before (2), the channel's target CPU
(as designated in (1)) can be deemed "free" by hv_synic_cleanup() and go
offline before the channel is added to the list.
Fix the race condition by "extending" the cpu_hotplug_lock critical
section to include (2) (and (1)), nesting the channel_mutex critical
section within the cpu_hotplug_lock critical section as done elsewhere
(hv_synic_cleanup(), target_cpu_store()) in the hyperv drivers code.
Move even further by extending the channel_mutex critical section to
include (1) (and (2)): this change allows to remove (the now redundant)
bind_channel_to_cpu_lock, and generally simplifies the handling of the
target CPUs (that are now always modified with channel_mutex held).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
