Subject: [BUG] hotplug_cpu vs no_hz

config:
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP=y  # just for call trace
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y		# if =n, this 2 bugs can't occur


this 2 bugs occur on 2kernel_vr * 2platform
platform :	i386 2cpus
		x86_64 2core*2cpus

kernel_vr:	2.6.25
		2.6.26-rc8

test 1:(cpu dies)
offline the other cpus, just left cpu#0 cpu#1, and:

i=0
while ((++i))
do
	echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	sleep 1
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	sleep 1
	echo $i
done

after several seconds ~ several hours, "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
was blocked, cpu#1 can not be used and the output of dmesg:

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 61s! [events/1:9898]

test 2:(time-subsystem was broken)
offline the other cpus, just left cpu0#0 cpu#1, and:

try several times: {
	echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
	cat /dev/zero > /dev/null &
	taskset -p 2 $!		# set affinity to cpu#1

	top	# get cpu usage of "cat /dev/zero"
		# if cpu usage=0%, bug of test 1 have occurred
		# stop test

		# if cpu usage>150%, time-subsystem was broken
		# offline/online again, "top" shows huger cpu usage

		# nothing happen, kill "cat /dev/zero" and try again
}
