---Problem Description---
kexec fails in LPAR when some cpus are disabled
Contact Information = sthou...@in.ibm.com
Machine Type = na
---uname output---
na
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
Summary:
At L1 level, kexec fails if some of the cpus in the machine are disabled.
Distros and kernel versions used:
1. Distro versions used
a. L1 LPAR :
b. L2 :
Repro steps:
1. Boot into an L1 lpar
2. Disable some cpus (eg: ppc64_cpu --cores-on=3)
3. Try to kexec.
This bug is reproducible only when we load the target kernel/initrd and use
"kexec -e" as follows:
kexec -l --initrd initramfs-$(uname -r).img vmlinuz-$(uname -r)
--append="$(cat /proc/cmdline)"
kexec -e
kexec works fine if we do a normal kexec without skipping the shutdown path
kexec --initrd initramfs-$(uname -r).img vmlinuz-$(uname -r)
--append="$(cat /proc/cmdline)"
Fix is upstream now:
