[RFC PATCH 49/49] ARM: mm: Move CPUHP_AP_ARM_CACHE_B15_RAC_DYING post stop_machine()

From: Frederic Weisbecker

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 09:34:37 EST


Between CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU and CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE, stop_machine executes
all the teardown callbacks while stopping all CPUs in the system. This
doesn't mix-up well with running RT or isolated tasks.

In order to transition smoothly from global stop_machine to finer
grained synchronization between teardown callbacks and the other CPUs,
a new stop machine post function has been introduced to be executed
after the main one with IRQs still disabled while other CPUs can exit
stop_machine().

It *looks ok* to disable the cache readahead globally while the other
CPUs are running.

Move this teardown callback to post stop_machine() accordingly.

But please double check.
