Koichiro Den 9fd8fcf171 vmstat: disable vmstat_work on vmstat_cpu_down_prep()
The upstream commit adcfb264c3 ("vmstat: disable vmstat_work on
vmstat_cpu_down_prep()") introduced another warning during the boot phase
so was soon reverted on upstream by commit cd6313beae ("Revert "vmstat:
disable vmstat_work on vmstat_cpu_down_prep()"").  This commit resolves it
and reattempts the original fix.

Even after mm/vmstat:online teardown, shepherd may still queue work for
the dying cpu until the cpu is removed from online mask.  While it's quite
rare, this means that after unbind_workers() unbinds a per-cpu kworker, it
potentially runs vmstat_update for the dying CPU on an irrelevant cpu
before entering atomic AP states.  When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y, it results
in the following error with the backtrace.

  BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: \
                                               kworker/7:3/1702

  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1702 Comm: kworker/7:3 Tainted: G
  Tainted: [N]=TEST
  Workqueue: mm_percpu_wq vmstat_update
  Call Trace:

   </TASK>

So, for mm/vmstat:online, disable vmstat_work reliably on teardown and
symmetrically enable it on startup.

For secondary CPUs during CPU hotplug scenarios, ensure the delayed work
is disabled immediately after the initialization.  These CPUs are not yet
online when start_shepherd_timer() runs on boot CPU.  vmstat_cpu_online()
will enable the work for them.

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 reStructuredText 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.
