Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_maps_update_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_maps_update_done(); Fix the sysfs code in powerpc by using this latter form of callback registration.
