Re: [RFC PATCH 1/4] Refcount Based Cpu-Hotplug Implementation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the following patch, the four cpu hotplug patches by
Gautham R Shenoy boot successfully on my sn2_defconfig ia64
SN2 Altix system.

This patch moves the cpu_hotplug_init() code outside of the
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU code.

I will confess to being confused however as to the best way
to handle this.  Having "cpu_hotplug_init" be a piece of code
that has to execute whether or not CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is
enabled doesn't seem right.
