Subject: [PATCH v2] Do not update sysfs cpu registration from invalid context
Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:08:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51C90995.1020401@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The topology update code that updates the cpu node registration in sysfs
should not be called while in stop_machine(). The register/unregister
calls take a lock and may sleep.

This patch moves these calls outside of the call to stop_machine().
