The patch titled sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after boot has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sched-tasks-cannot-run-on-cpus-onlined-after-boot.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sched: tasks cannot run on cpus onlined after boot From: Nathan Lynch <ntl@xxxxxxxxx> Commit 5c1e176781f43bc902a51e5832f789756bff911b ("sched: force /sbin/init off isolated cpus") sets init's cpus_allowed to a subset of cpu_online_map at boot time, which means that tasks won't be scheduled on cpus that are added to the system later. Make init's cpus_allowed a subset of cpu_possible_map instead. This should still preserve the behavior that Nick's change intended.
