With: CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y then we may see a call to init_hrtimers_cpu() from hrtimer_cpu_notify() in the: case CPU_UP_PREPARE: case CPU_UP_PREPARE_FROZEN: cases. And this will oops. [It these a cases will be hit I dunno - I just follow the logic of the code here.] Sam > > > --- > > kernel/hrtimer.c | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > --- linux-2.6.24-rc8-git2.orig/kernel/hrtimer.c > > +++ linux-2.6.24-rc8-git2/kernel/hrtimer.c > > @@ -1378,7 +1378,7 @@ sys_nanosleep(struct timespec __user *rq > > /* > > * Functions related to boot-time initialization: > > */ > > -static void __devinit init_hrtimers_cpu(int cpu) > > +static void __cpuinit init_hrtimers_cpu(int cpu) > > { > > struct hrtimer_cpu_base *cpu_base = &per_cpu(hrtimer_bases, cpu); > > int i; > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > > the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org > > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
