Subject: [PATCH] xen: postpone updating domains' node affinity when removing a CPU from a cpupool
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2015 17:49:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150309164901.11859.95044.stgit@Solace.station> (raw)

93be8285 ("update domU's node-affinity on the cpupool_unassign_cpu()
path")  does the right thing, but does it too early. In fact, it
is necessary to call domain_update_node_affinity() when a pCPU is
removed from a cpupool, but that must happen after the pCPU is
really gone from there.

More specifically, it is important that the update happens not
before cpu_disable_scheduler() is called on that pCPU, to give
that function the chance to fixup the vCPU affinity of the
domains residing in the cpupool, if that is necessary.

Calling it earlier, as it happens before this change, causes
(although only in rather awkward circumstances), the following:

(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) Assertion '!cpumask_empty(dom_cpumask)' failed at domain.c:460
(XEN) ****************************************
