[RESEND RFC PATCH] acpi/processor: Remove the check of duplicate processors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We found there are some processors which have the same processor ID
but in different PXM in the ACPI namespace. such as this:

proc_id   |    pxm
--------------------
0       <->     0
1       <->     0
2       <->     1
3       <->     1
......
89      <->     0
89      <->     1
89      <->     2
89      <->     3
......

So we create a mechanism to validate them. make the processor(ID=89)
as invalid. And once a processor be hotplugged physically, we check its
processor id.

    Commit 8e089eaa1999 ("acpi: Provide mechanism to validate processors in the ACPI tables")
    Commit a77d6cd96849 ("acpi/processor: Check for duplicate processor ids at hotplug time")

Recently, I found the check mechanism has a bug, it didn't use the
acpi_processor_ids_walk() right and always gave us a wrong result.
First, I fixed it by modifying the value with AE_OK which is the
standard acpi_status value.

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/273

But, now, I even think this check is useless. my reasons are following:

    1). Based on the practical tests, It works well, and no bug be reported
    2). Based on the code, the duplicate cases can be dealed with by

       if (invalid_logical_cpuid(pr->id) || !cpu_present(pr->id))

That seems more reasonable, let's see the following case:

                          Before the patch,             After the patch

the first processor(ID=89)
hot-add                        failed                        success

the others processor(ID=89)
hot-add                        failed                        failed

So, Remove the check code.
