Hi Len, I have tested more than 10000 times of cpu remove and add function in the latest kernel. The result of test is ok. The flow of my test program is bellow: (1) get random number of cpu . (2) call xm vcpu-set <n> . depend on current cpu number. it simulate the function of add or remove cpu at random. (3) get the random number between 1 and 10. (4) sleep random seconds which get from step 3. (5) repeat from step 1 to step 4. what's your opinion of this patch? -- shencanquan ________________________________________ 发件人: linux-kernel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [linux-kernel-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] 代表 Shen Canquan [shencanquan@xxxxxxxxxx] 发送时间: 2011年8月30日 14:35 到: lenb@xxxxxxxxxx; rui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx; shemminger@xxxxxxxxxx; yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx Cc: xiaowei.yang@xxxxxxxxxx; hanweidong; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; i@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 主题: [PATCH] acpi: Fix hot cpu remove problem on acpi subsystem In Xen virtualization environment, When I used xen tools (xm vcpu-set vcpu_number ) to test the vcpu add and remove, I found it is failure on vcpu remove, I found the reason is that nothing to do when cpu remove in acpi_processor_hotplug_notify function, so I add the code of send the OFFLINE message to udev and add the rule of udev. it is ok on vcpu remove.
