Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] powerpc/powernv/cpuidle: Pass correct drv->cpumask for registration
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2017 20:52:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170323152247.14733-2-svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170323152247.14733-1-svaidy@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
drv->cpumask defaults to cpu_possible_mask in __cpuidle_driver_init().
On PowerNV platform cpu_present could be less than cpu_possible in cases
where firmware detects the cpu, but it is not available to the OS. When
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n, such cpus are not hotplugable at runtime and hence
we skip creating cpu_device.
This breaks cpuidle on powernv where register_cpu() is not called for
cpus in cpu_possible_mask that cannot be hot-added at runtime.
Trying cpuidle_register_device() on cpu without cpu_device will cause
crash like this:

This patch fixes the bug by passing correct cpumask from
powernv-cpuidle driver.
