For the architectures (arm/arm64/ia64/riscv), which relies on the cpu hot-removing mechanism to implement "kexec -e", it is important to ensure that the rebooting happens on a valid online cpu. And this logic should have been guaranteed in migrate_to_reboot_cpu(). But the current code has either contradict (resolved by [2/2]) or redundancy (resolved by [1/2]) about the logic. V3 -> V4: Fix the cpu hotplug enable before kexec-rebooting in powerpc. Improve commit log and the code's note. V2 -> V3: Taking in [2/2], which also has problem with the valid rebooting cpu. (I had sent three patches for different arches. But maybe it is better to collapse them into one and collect acks from different arches' maintainers ) Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vincent Donnefort <vincent.donnefort@xxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: YueHaibing <yuehaibing@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Baokun Li <libaokun1@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Valentin Schneider <valentin.schneider@xxxxxxx> Cc: kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> To: linux-ia64@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Russell King <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Pingfan Liu (2): cpu/hotplug: Keep cpu hotplug disabled until the rebooting cpu is stable cpu/hotplug: Remove the input parameter primary_cpu of smp_shutdown_nonboot_cpus() arch/arm/kernel/reboot.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/process.c | 2 +- arch/ia64/kernel/process.c | 2 +- arch/powerpc/kexec/core_64.c | 1 + arch/riscv/kernel/machine_kexec.c | 2 +- include/linux/cpu.h | 4 ++-- kernel/cpu.c | 14 +++++++------- kernel/kexec_core.c | 11 +++++------ 8 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) -- 2.31.1 _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
