From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com (Srivatsa S. Bhat) Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2013 13:07:43 +0530 Subject: [PATCH v5 17/45] softirq: Use get/put_online_cpus_atomic() to prevent CPU offline In-Reply-To: <20130122073210.13822.50434.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> References: <20130122073210.13822.50434.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> Message-ID: <20130122073739.13822.99740.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Once stop_machine() is gone from the CPU offline path, we won't be able to depend on preempt_disable() or local_irq_disable() to prevent CPUs from going offline from under us. Use the get/put_online_cpus_atomic() APIs to prevent CPUs from going offline, while invoking from atomic context. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.
