The patch titled x86_64: fix cpu-hotplug regression has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is x86_64-fix-cpu-hotplug-regression.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86_64: fix cpu-hotplug regression From: "Akinobu Mita" <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> > [PATCH] x86: fix cpu hotplug regression (don't call mce_create_device on CPU_UP_PREPARE) > > Fix regression introduced with d435d862baca3e25e5eec236762a43251b1e7ffc > ("cpu hotplug: mce: fix cpu hotplug error handling"). > > For CPUs not brought up during boot (using maxcpus and additional_cpus > parameters) we don't know whether mce is supported or not at "CPU_UP_PREPARE"-time. > Thus mce_cpu_callback should be called after the CPU is online. Thank you for finding and fixing the problem. I added two fixes to your patch: - Avoid mce_remove_device() for the CPU that is not correctly initialized by mce_create_device() failure. - make CPU_ONLINE callback always return NOTIFY_OK. Because CPU_ONLINE callback return value is always ignored.
