The patch titled workqueues: do CPU_UP_CANCELED if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was workqueues-do-cpu_up_canceled-if-cpu_up_prepare-fails.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: workqueues: do CPU_UP_CANCELED if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> The bug was pointed out by Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx>, and this patch is based on his original patch. workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_UP_PREPARE) expects that if it returns NOTIFY_BAD, _cpu_up() will send CPU_UP_CANCELED then. However, this is not true since "cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE" commit: a0d8cdb652d35af9319a9e0fb7134de2a276c636 The callback which has returned NOTIFY_BAD will not receive CPU_UP_CANCELED. Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.
