Hi,
While playing with hotplug, I ran into the below:

Given:
static int __init kcompactd_init(void)
{
...
ret = cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN,
"mm/compaction:online",
kcompactd_cpu_online, NULL);
and:
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN,
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END = CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN + 30,
CPUHP_AP_X86_HPET_ONLINE,
CPUHP_AP_X86_KVM_CLK_ONLINE,
CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE,
this is somewhat expected behaviour.
It tries and set the compaction affinity to include the newly onlined
CPU before it is marked active and that's a no-no.
Ideally the kcompactd notifier is ran after AP_ACTIVE, not before.
