BTW. I we lurking at some of our CPU hotplug code and I think I cannot totally guarantee that this won't be called on an offline CPU. If that's a problem, you may want to add a test for that. IE. The call function IPIs are normally not going to be sent to an offlined CPU, and stop_machine should be a good enough fence here, but we do abuse reschedule for a number of things (including in some case to wake up a sleeping CPU that was pseudo-offlined :-) Cheers, Ben. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
