No, I'm not sure. This why I've Cc: powerpc folks. My conclusion is only
based on the before/after changes.
I've tested some patches from powerpc ML, but they don't fix this problem:
powerpc/numa: Perform full re-add of CPU for PRRN/VPHN topology update
powerpc/pseries: Perform full re-add of CPU for topology update
post-migration
So the only reason I can see to have a corrupted sched_group list is the
sched_domain_span() fonction doesn't return a correct cpumask for the
domain once a new CPU is added.
Thanks,
