hwmon: (via-cputemp) Use get_online_cpus to avoid races involving CPU hotplug
via_cputemp_init loops with for_each_online_cpu, adding platform_devices, then calls register_hotcpu_notifier. If a CPU is offlined between the loop and register_hotcpu_notifier, then later onlined, via_cputemp_device_add will attempt to add platform devices with the same ID. A similar race occurs during via_cputemp_exit, after the module calls unregister_hotcpu_notifier, a CPU might offline and a device will exist for a CPU that is offline. 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> Acked-by: Harald Welte <laforge@gnumonks.org> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
