The patch titled
cpu hotplug: fix CPU_UP_CANCEL handling
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
cpu-hotplug-fix-cpu_up_cancel-handling.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: cpu hotplug: fix CPU_UP_CANCEL handling
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
If a cpu hotplug callback fails on CPU_UP_PREPARE, all callbacks will be
called with CPU_UP_CANCELED. A few of these callbacks assume that on
CPU_UP_PREPARE a pointer to task has been stored in a percpu array. This
assumption is not true if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails and the following calls to
kthread_bind() in CPU_UP_CANCELED will cause an addressing exception
because of passing a NULL pointer.
