The patch titled simplify cpu_hotplug_begin()/put_online_cpus() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was simplify-cpu_hotplug_begin-put_online_cpus.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: simplify cpu_hotplug_begin()/put_online_cpus() From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> cpu_hotplug_begin() must be always called under cpu_add_remove_lock, this means that only one process can be cpu_hotplug.active_writer. So we don't need the cpu_hotplug.writer_queue, we can wake up the ->active_writer directly. Also, fix the comment.
