Hi, Thomas, What do you think about this patch? Other archs also do the same thing except those support hotplug CPU#0. grep hotpluggable arch -rwI arch/riscv/kernel/setup.c: cpu->hotpluggable = cpu_has_hotplug(i); arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c: BUG_ON(!c->hotpluggable); arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c: c->hotpluggable = 1; arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c: if (cpu_online(cpu) || c->hotpluggable) { arch/arm/kernel/setup.c: cpuinfo->cpu.hotpluggable = platform_can_hotplug_cpu(cpu); arch/sh/kernel/topology.c: c->hotpluggable = 1; arch/ia64/kernel/topology.c: * CPEI target, then it is hotpluggable arch/ia64/kernel/topology.c: sysfs_cpus[num].cpu.hotpluggable = 1; arch/xtensa/kernel/setup.c: cpu->hotpluggable = !!i; arch/s390/kernel/smp.c: c->hotpluggable = 1; arch/mips/kernel/topology.c: c->hotpluggable = 1; arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c: * In case the boot CPU is hotpluggable, we record its initial state and arch/arm64/kernel/setup.c: cpu->hotpluggable = cpu_can_disable(i); arch/x86/kernel/topology.c: per_cpu(cpu_devices, num).cpu.hotpluggable = 1; On Thu, Jul 16, 2020 at 6:38 PM Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Now CPU#0 is not hotpluggable on MIPS, so prevent to create /sys/devices > /system/cpu/cpu0/online which confuses some user-space tools. > > Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/mips/kernel/topology.c | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/arch/mips/kernel/topology.c b/arch/mips/kernel/topology.c > index cd3e1f8..08ad637 100644 > --- a/arch/mips/kernel/topology.c > +++ b/arch/mips/kernel/topology.c > @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ static int __init topology_init(void) > for_each_present_cpu(i) { > struct cpu *c = &per_cpu(cpu_devices, i); > > - c->hotpluggable = 1; > + c->hotpluggable = !!i; > ret = register_cpu(c, i); > if (ret) > printk(KERN_WARNING "topology_init: register_cpu %d " > -- > 2.7.0 >
