Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] powerpc/crash: Remove the test for cpu_online in the IPI callback
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 19:14:54 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171215081455.11941-1-bsingharora@gmail.com> (raw)

Our check was extra cautious, we've audited crash_send_ipi
and it sends an IPI only to online CPU's. Removal of this
check should have not functional impact on crash kdump.
