Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix cpu-hotplug regression
Date: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 02:12:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071107011258.GA31607@alberich.amd.com> (raw)
[PATCH] x86: fix cpu-hotplug regression
Commit d435d862baca3e25e5eec236762a43251b1e7ffc
("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling")
changed the error handling in mce_cpu_callback.
In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during
boot (e.g. using maxcpus and additional_cpus parameters)
mce_cpu_callback now returns NOTFIY_BAD because
for such CPUs cpu_data is not completely filled when
the notifier is called. Thus mce_create_device fails right
at its beginning:
if (!mce_available(&cpu_data[cpu]))
return -EIO;
As a quick fix I suggest to check boot_cpu_data for MCE.
To reproduce this regression:
(1) boot with maxcpus=2 addtional_cpus=2 on a 4 CPU x86-64 system
(2) # echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
dmesg shows:
_cpu_up: attempt to bring up CPU 2 failed
