Bug Description

CPU offlining can trigger hangs with HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 on Ubuntu 17.10.

The hangs also occur with latest mainline kernel Linux 4.15-rc8.

I bisected the upstream mainline kernel. This is a regression introduced by Linux 4.13-rc1 commit c5cb83bb337c25caae995d992d1cdf9b317f83de ("genirq/cpuhotplug: Handle managed IRQs on CPU hotplug"). https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/c5cb83bb337c25caae995d992d1cdf9b317f83de

This test case to offline all CPUs except for CPU 0 can be used to trigger a hang.

for i in $(seq 1 $(expr $(nproc --all) - 1)); do sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online"; done

Is there a kernel trace in the logs from the hang? I'd like to see if this is related to bug 1733662, which has a test kernel here if you want to try it:
