How is this related to a workstation CPU? Laptop CPUs and server CPUs
are magically not affected, right?

Also how is this related to suspend?

This clearly affects any CPU down operation whether in the context of
suspend or initiated via sysfs, no?

Just because you observed it during suspend testing does not magically
make it a suspend related problem....

How much of that backtrace is actually substantial information?

At max 5 lines out of ~50. See:

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#backtraces

> This bug shows that there is a mistake with the flow used for offlining

This bug shows nothing than a calltrace. Please explain the context and
the fail in coherent sentences. The bug backtrace is just for
illustration.

It's not problematic. It's simply wrong.

You clearly can spare that wrapper which wraps a function with the signature

     void fn(int)

into a function with the signature

     void fn(int)

by just assigning amd_pmu_cpu_reset() to the cpu_dying callback, no?

Thanks,
