Heiko Carstens 167d0f258f mm: take memory hotplug lock within numa_zonelist_order_handler()
Andre Wild reported the following warning:

This can be easily triggered with e.g.

    echo n > /proc/sys/vm/numa_zonelist_order

In commit 3f906ba236 ("mm/memory-hotplug: switch locking to a percpu
rwsem") memory hotplug locking was changed to fix a potential deadlock.

This also switched the stop_machine() invocation within
build_all_zonelists() to stop_machine_cpuslocked() which now expects
that online cpus are locked when being called.

This assumption is not true if build_all_zonelists() is being called
from numa_zonelist_order_handler().

In order to fix this simply add a mem_hotplug_begin()/mem_hotplug_done()
pair to numa_zonelist_order_handler().

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
