Merge tag 'fix-percpu-lists-6.6_2023-09-12' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djwong/xfs-linux into xfs-6.6-fixesA xfs: fix cpu hotplug mess Ritesh and Eric separately reported crashes in XFS's hook function for CPU hot remove if the remove event races with a filesystem being mounted. I also noticed via generic/650 that once in a while the log will shut down over an apparent overrun of a transaction reservation; this turned out to be due to CIL percpu list aggregation failing to pick up the percpu list items from a dying CPU. Either way, the solution here is to eliminate the need for a CPU dying hook by using a private cpumask to track which CPUs have added to their percpu lists directly, and iterating with that mask. This fixes the log problems and (I think) solves a theoretical UAF bug in the inodegc code too. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
