| Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPU |
| |
| commit 59fdcc01a4952a521dbae619254d1d4e3f0651e7 in tip. |
| |
| When the plugged CPU sets the online flag it enables interrupts and |
| goes idle. When an interrupt happens and tried to wakeup a softirq |
| thread before the other cpu sets the active flag, then the softirq |
| thread is put on one of the active cpus. Prevent this by waiting for |
| the cpu_active bit. |
| |
| Temporary workaround. Needs more thought. |
