This is one of the many reasons why I convert replacement patches into incremental patches - so I can see what was done. Here's what I queued after converting this patch into a delta: --- a/kernel/smp.c~smp-add-func-to-ipi-cpus-based-on-parameter-func-v9 +++ a/kernel/smp.c @@ -771,7 +771,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(on_each_cpu_mask); * The function might sleep if the GFP flags indicates a non * atomic allocation is allowed. * - * Preemption is disabled to protect against a hotplug event. + * Preemption is disabled to protect against CPU going offline but not + * online.
