[PATCH 5/5] stop_machine: cpu_stop_park() should remove cpu_stop_work's from list

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Jun 29 2015 - 21:32:54 EST


cpu_stop_park() does cpu_stop_signal_done() but leaves the work on
stopper->works. The owner of this work can free/reuse this memory
right after that and corrupt the list, so if this CPU becomes online
again cpu_stopper_thread() will crash.
