This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled powerpc/smp: Increase nr_cpu_ids to include the boot CPU to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: powerpc-smp-increase-nr_cpu_ids-to-include-the-boot-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit c23eed5169fc5da7d30461c4c6cf679ce5d9bc6a Author: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 15 00:14:04 2024 +1100 powerpc/smp: Increase nr_cpu_ids to include the boot CPU [ Upstream commit 777f81f0a9c780a6443bcf2c7785f0cc2e87c1ef ] If nr_cpu_ids is too low to include the boot CPU adjust nr_cpu_ids upward. Otherwise the kernel will BUG when trying to allocate a paca for the boot CPU and fail to boot.
