hwmon: (coretemp) Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplug
coretemp_init loops with for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices and sysfs interfaces, then calls register_hotcpu_notifier. There is a race if a CPU is offlined or onlined after the loop, but before register_hotcpu_notifier. The race might result in the absence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an online CPU, or the presence of a platform_device+sysfs interface for an offline CPU. A similar race occurs during coretemp_exit, after the module calls unregister_hotcpu_notifier, but before it unregisters all devices, a CPU might offline and a device for an offline CPU will exist for a short while. This fix surrounds for_each_online_cpu and register_hotcpu_notifier with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus; and surrounds unregister_hotcpu_notifier and device unregistering with get_online_cpus+put_online_cpus. Build tested. Signed-off-by: Silas Boyd-Wickizer <sbw@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
