Subject: [patch V2 0/2] mm/memory_hotplug: Cure potential deadlocks vs. cpu
 hotplug lock

Andrey reported a potential deadlock with the memory hotplug lock and the
cpu hotplug lock.

The following series addresses this by reworking the memory hotplug locking
and fixing up the potential deadlock scenarios.

Applies against Linus head. All preliminaries are merged there already

Thanks,

	tglx
