NAK to this patch. The real question is - if CPU0 is the CPU going offline, why is it still receiving _any_ interrupts - all interrupts should be migrated off it, including the chained interrupts. Sounds like there's a bug in the migration code which needs further investigation, rather than hacking around the problem by introducing lots of driver code. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 10.5Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- 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/
