stop_machine_cpuslocked takes a mutex so it must be called in a preemptible context, so it can't simply be fixed by disabling preemption. This is not a bug, because CPU hotplug is locked, so this processor will call in to the stop machine function. So raw_smp_processor_id() could be used. This leaves a small chance that this thread will be migrated to another CPU, so the master work would be done by a CPU from a different context. Better for test coverage to make that a common case by just having the first CPU to call in become the master.

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.
