Yu Zhao has noticed that __unregister_cpu_notifier only unregisters its notifiers when HOTPLUG_CPU=y while the registration might succeed even when HOTPLUG_CPU=n if MODULE is enabled. This means that e.g. zswap might keep a stale notifier on the list on the manual clean up during the pool tear down and thus corrupt the list. Resulting in the following [ 144.964346] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880658a2be78 [ 144.971337] IP: [<ffffffffa290b00b>] raw_notifier_chain_register+0x1b/0x40 <snipped> [ 145.122628] Call Trace: [ 145.125086] [<ffffffffa28e5cf8>] __register_cpu_notifier+0x18/0x20 [ 145.131350] [<ffffffffa2a5dd73>] zswap_pool_create+0x273/0x400 [ 145.137268] [<ffffffffa2a5e0fc>] __zswap_param_set+0x1fc/0x300 [ 145.143188] [<ffffffffa2944c1d>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xd/0x10 [ 145.149018] [<ffffffffa2908798>] ? kernel_param_lock+0x28/0x30 [ 145.154940] [<ffffffffa2a3e8cf>] ? __might_fault+0x4f/0xa0 [ 145.160511] [<ffffffffa2a5e237>] zswap_compressor_param_set+0x17/0x20 [ 145.167035] [<ffffffffa2908d3c>] param_attr_store+0x5c/0xb0 [ 145.172694] [<ffffffffa290848d>] module_attr_store+0x1d/0x30 [ 145.178443] [<ffffffffa2b2b41f>] sysfs_kf_write+0x4f/0x70 [ 145.183925] [<ffffffffa2b2a5b9>] kernfs_fop_write+0x149/0x180 [ 145.189761] [<ffffffffa2a99248>] __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 [ 145.194982] [<ffffffffa2a9a412>] vfs_write+0xb2/0x1a0 [ 145.200122] [<ffffffffa2a9a732>] SyS_write+0x52/0xa0 [ 145.205177] [<ffffffffa2ff4d97>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x17 This can be even triggered manually by changing /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor multiple times. Fix this issue by making unregister APIs symmetric to the register so there are no surprises.
