You need to be careful to get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() here, so CPUs can't go up and down in the middle of operations. In particular, get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() around calls to virtscsi_set_affinity() (except within notifiers). > +static int virtscsi_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb, > + unsigned long action, void *hcpu) > +{ > + struct virtio_scsi *vscsi = container_of(nfb, struct virtio_scsi, nb); > + switch(action) { > + case CPU_ONLINE: > + case CPU_ONLINE_FROZEN: > + case CPU_DEAD: > + case CPU_DEAD_FROZEN: > + virtscsi_set_affinity(vscsi, true); > + break; > + default: > + break; > + } > + return NOTIFY_OK; > +} You probably want to remove affinities *before* the CPU goes down, and restore it after the CPU comes up. So, how about: switch (action & ~CPU_TASKS_FROZEN) { case CPU_ONLINE: case CPU_DOWN_FAILED: virtscsi_set_affinity(vscsi, true, -1); break; case CPU_DOWN_PREPARE: virtscsi_set_affinity(vscsi, true, (unsigned long)hcpu); break; } The extra argument to virtscsi_set_affinity() is to tell it to ignore a cpu which seems online (because it's going down). > static void virtscsi_init_vq(struct virtio_scsi_vq *virtscsi_vq, > struct virtqueue *vq) > { > @@ -888,6 +909,13 @@ static int __devinit virtscsi_probe(struct virtio_device *vdev) > if (err) > goto virtscsi_init_failed; > > + vscsi->nb.notifier_call = &virtscsi_cpu_callback; > + err = register_hotcpu_notifier(&vscsi->nb); > + if (err) { > + pr_err("virtio_scsi: registering cpu notifier failed\n"); > + goto scsi_add_host_failed; > + } > + You have to clean this up if scsi_add_host() fails, I think.
