Peter, I remember you pointing out in another patch's review (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1198312/focus=1199087) that introducing more locks in cpu hotplug would be a bad idea. Does that comment hold here as well, or is this fine? Anyways, I'll start working on that other implementation that hooks onto the suspend/hibernate notifiers and see if that works out better. > + return -EBUSY; > + > cpu_maps_update_begin(); > > if (cpu_hotplug_disabled) { > @@ -377,6 +386,7 @@ int __cpuinit cpu_up(unsigned int cpu) > > out: > cpu_maps_update_done(); > + unlock_pm_sleep(); > return err; > } > > -- Regards, Srivatsa S.
