2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner commit 649c6653fa94ec8f3ea32b19c97b790ec4e8e4ac upstream num_possible_cpus() can be > 1 when disabled CPUs have been accounted. Disabled CPUs are not in the cpu_present_map, so we can use num_present_cpus() as a safe indicator to switch to UP alternatives.
