+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] percpu: fix synchronization between
+ chunk->map_extend_work and chunk destruction
+
+Atomic allocations can trigger async map extensions which is serviced
+by chunk->map_extend_work.  pcpu_balance_work which is responsible for
+destroying idle chunks wasn't synchronizing properly against
+chunk->map_extend_work and may end up freeing the chunk while the work
+item is still in flight.
+
+This patch fixes the bug by rolling async map extension operations
+into pcpu_balance_work.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] percpu: fix synchronization between synchronous map
+ extension and chunk destruction
+
+For non-atomic allocations, pcpu_alloc() can try to extend the area
+map synchronously after dropping pcpu_lock; however, the extension
+wasn't synchronized against chunk destruction and the chunk might get
+freed while extension is in progress.
+
+This patch fixes the bug by putting most of non-atomic allocations
+under pcpu_alloc_mutex to synchronize against pcpu_balance_work which
+is responsible for async chunk management including destruction.
