Live Partition Migrations require all the present CPUs to execute the
H_JOIN call, and hence rtas_ibm_suspend_me() onlines any offline CPUs
before initiating the migration for this purpose.
The commit 85a88cabad57
("powerpc/pseries: Disable CPU hotplug across migrations")
disables any CPU-hotplug operations once all the offline CPUs are
brought online to prevent any further state change. Once the
CPU-Hotplug operation is disabled, the code assumes that all the CPUs
are online.
However, there is a minor window in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() between
onlining the offline CPUs and disabling CPU-Hotplug when a concurrent
CPU-offline operations initiated by the userspace can succeed thereby
nullifying the the aformentioned assumption. In this unlikely case
these offlined CPUs will not call H_JOIN, resulting in a system hang.
Fix this by verifying that all the present CPUs are actually online
after CPU-Hotplug has been disabled, failing which we restore the
state of the offline CPUs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me() and return an
-EBUSY.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
