This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled smp/hotplug: Move step CPUHP_AP_SMPCFD_DYING to the correct place to the 4.9-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: smp-hotplug-move-step-cpuhp_ap_smpcfd_dying-to-the-correct-place.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 46febd37f9c758b05cd25feae8512f22584742fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 21:19:53 +0800 Subject: smp/hotplug: Move step CPUHP_AP_SMPCFD_DYING to the correct place From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshanlai@xxxxxxxxx> commit 46febd37f9c758b05cd25feae8512f22584742fe upstream. Commit 31487f8328f2 ("smp/cfd: Convert core to hotplug state machine") accidently put this step on the wrong place. The step should be at the cpuhp_ap_states[] rather than the cpuhp_bp_states[]. grep smpcfd /sys/devices/system/cpu/hotplug/states 40: smpcfd:prepare 129: smpcfd:dying "smpcfd:dying" was missing before. So was the invocation of the function smpcfd_dying_cpu().
