Suppose a running callout re-arms itself, and before the callout
finishes running another CPU calls callout_drain() and goes to sleep.
softclock_call_cc() will wake up the draining thread, which may not run
immediately if there is a lot of CPU load. Furthermore, the callout is
still in the callout wheel so it can continue to run and re-arm itself.
Then, suppose that the callout migrates to another CPU before the
draining thread gets a chance to run. The draining thread is in this
loop in _callout_stop_safe():
while (cc_exec_curr(cc) == c) {
CC_UNLOCK(cc);
sleep();
CC_LOCK(cc);
}but after the migration, cc points to the wrong CPU's callout state.
Then the draining thread goes off and removes the callout from the
wheel, but does so using the wrong lock and per-CPU callout state.
Fix the problem by doing a re-lookup of the callout CPU after sleeping.
This is a minimal patch intended to be suitable for backporting.
