The patch titled
PowerPC: Fix num_cpus calculation in smp_call_function_map()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
powerpc-fix-num_cpus-calculation-in-smp_call_function_map.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: PowerPC: Fix num_cpus calculation in smp_call_function_map()
From: Kevin Corry <kevcorry@xxxxxxxxxx>
In smp_call_function_map(), num_cpus is set to the number of online CPUs
minus one. However, if the CPU mask does not include all CPUs (except the
one we're running on), the routine will hang in the first while() loop
until the 8 second timeout occurs.
The num_cpus should be set to the number of CPUs specified in the mask
passed into the routine, after we've made any modifications to the mask.
With this change, we can also get rid of the call to cpus_empty() and avoid
adding another pass through the bitmask.
