Nicholas Piggin a665eec0a2 powerpc/64s/radix: Fix mm_cpumask trimming race vs kthread_use_mm 
Commit 0cef77c779 ("powerpc/64s/radix: flush remote CPUs out of
single-threaded mm_cpumask") added a mechanism to trim the mm_cpumask of
a process under certain conditions. One of the assumptions is that
mm_users would not be incremented via a reference outside the process
context with mmget_not_zero() then go on to kthread_use_mm() via that
reference.

That invariant was broken by io_uring code (see previous sparc64 fix),
but I'll point Fixes: to the original powerpc commit because we are
changing that assumption going forward, so this will make backports
match up.

Fix this by no longer relying on that assumption, but by having each CPU
check the mm is not being used, and clearing their own bit from the mask
only if it hasn't been switched-to by the time the IPI is processed.

This relies on commit 38cf307c1f ("mm: fix kthread_use_mm() vs TLB
invalidate") and ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM to disable irqs over mm
switch sequences.

README 

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.

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.
