Subject: [PATCH v2] cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a notifier to fix lockdep problem in start_secondary
Date: Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:02:57 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FF29219.10608@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
cpuidle: (POWER) Replace pseries_notify_cpuidle_add call with a notifier to fix lockdep problem in start_secondary
From: Deepthi Dharwar <deepthi@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Currently the call to pseries_notify_cpuidle_add(), that takes
action on the cpuidle front when a cpu is added/removed
is being made from smp_xics_setup_cpu().
This works fine when the cpus were hot added/removed once the
system is up but causes lockdep issues as
reported https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/2
during the time of boot.
During boot, on addition of each cpu,
resources were cleared and re-allocated each time, all in critical
section as part of start_secondary() which had interrupts disabled.
To resolve this issue, replacing the pseries_notify_cpuidle_add_cpu() call
with a hotplug notifier. This would prevent cpuidle resources from being
released and allocated each time cpu is onlined during pseries bootup.
