The patch titled sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sched-cpu-hotplug-events-must-not-destroy-scheduler-domains-created-by-the-cpusets.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: sched: CPU hotplug events must not destroy scheduler domains created by the cpusets From: Max Krasnyansky <maxk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently sched domains created by the cpusets are completely destroyed during CPU hotplug event handling. For each CPU hotplug event scheduler attaches all CPUs to the NULL domain and then puts them all into a single domain thereby destroying domains created by the cpusets. The solution is simple, when cpusets are enabled scheduler should not create the default domain and instead let cpusets rebuild the domains based on the current settings. Which is exactly what the patch does.
