Subject: [patch]variable overflow after hunderds round of hotplug CPU
Date: Thu, 02 Jun 2005 10:56:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1117680997.7191.8.camel@linux-hp.sh.intel.com> (raw)

Hi,
I'm doing the cpu hotplug stress test and found a variable ('ready') is
overflow after several hundreds rounds of cpu hotplug. Here is a fix.
