Nothing has been applied yet (this submission is part of the clarification
process), are you fine with this conversion as-is, with a separate patch doing
any
followup fixes - or would you prefer another approach?
This CPU hotplug series tries to do straightforward conversions to the CPU
hotplug
state machine without changing behavior - while pointing out any problems that
were found along the way.
I agree that the addition of this FIXME should probably have been pointed out
in
the changelog as well, but this patch was submitted once already with no
feedback
received - and that's the historic pattern with such types of series: only a
low
percentage of all driver maintainers replies so we have to be proactive to a
certain degree to have a chance of improving core kernel infrastructure. It's
better to add FIXMEs with open questions that to introduce subtle problems.
Thanks,
Ingo
