Gautham R. Shenoy 4d202c8c8e powerpc/xive: Fix loop exit-condition in xive_find_target_in_mask()
xive_find_target_in_mask() has the following for(;;) loop which has a
bug when @first == cpumask_first(@mask) and condition 1 fails to hold
for every CPU in @mask. In this case we loop forever in the for-loop.

  first = cpu;
  for (;;) {
  	  if (cpu_online(cpu) && xive_try_pick_target(cpu)) // condition 1
		  return cpu;
	  cpu = cpumask_next(cpu, mask);
	  if (cpu == first) // condition 2
		  break;

	  if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) // condition 3
		  cpu = cpumask_first(mask);
  }

This is because, when @first == cpumask_first(@mask), we never hit the
condition 2 (cpu == first) since prior to this check, we would have
executed "cpu = cpumask_next(cpu, mask)" which will set the value of
@cpu to a value greater than @first or to nr_cpus_ids. When this is
coupled with the fact that condition 1 is not met, we will never exit
this loop.

This was discovered by the hard-lockup detector while running LTP test
concurrently with SMT switch tests.

To fix this, move the check for condition 2 after the check for
condition 3, so that we are able to break out of the loop soon after
iterating through all the CPUs in the @mask in the problem case. Use
do..while() to achieve this.

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.
