It turns out that not all paths calling arch_update_cpu_topology() hold
cpu_hotplug_lock, but that's OK because those paths can't race with
any concurrent hotplug events.
Warnings were reported with the following trace:
lockdep_assert_cpus_held
arch_update_cpu_topology
sched_init_domains
sched_init_smp
kernel_init_freeable
kernel_init
ret_from_kernel_thread
Which is safe because it's called early in boot when hotplug is not
live yet.
And also this trace:
lockdep_assert_cpus_held
arch_update_cpu_topology
partition_sched_domains
cpuset_update_active_cpus
sched_cpu_deactivate
cpuhp_invoke_callback
cpuhp_down_callbacks
cpuhp_thread_fun
smpboot_thread_fn
kthread
ret_from_kernel_thread
Which is safe because it's called as part of CPU hotplug, so although
we don't hold the CPU hotplug lock, there is another thread driving
the CPU hotplug operation which does hold the lock, and there is no
race.
Thanks to tglx for deciphering it for us.
