Subject: Re : [PATCH] acpi: Fix hot cpu remove problem on acpi subsystem

Hi Len,
    I have tested more than 10000 times of cpu remove and  add function in the latest kernel. The result of test is ok. The flow of  my test program is bellow:
    (1)  get random number of cpu .
    (2)  call xm vcpu-set <n> . depend on current cpu number. it simulate the function of add or remove cpu at random.
    (3) get the random number between 1 and 10.  
    (4) sleep random seconds which get from step 3.
    (5) repeat from step 1 to step 4.

   what's your opinion of this patch?

主题: [PATCH] acpi: Fix hot cpu remove problem on acpi subsystem

In Xen virtualization environment, When I used xen tools (xm vcpu-set vcpu_number ) to test the vcpu add and remove, I found it is failure on vcpu remove, I found the reason is that nothing to do when cpu remove in acpi_processor_hotplug_notify function, so I add the code of send the OFFLINE message to udev and add the rule of udev. it is ok on vcpu remove.
