2015-08-05cpu-hotplug: convert cpu_hotplug_disabled to a counterVitaly Kuznetsov
As a prerequisite to exporting cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable functions to modules we need to convert cpu_hotplug_disabled to a counter to properly support disable -> disable -> enable call sequences. E.g. after Hyper-V vmbus module (which is supposed to be the first user of exported cpu_hotplug_enable/cpu_hotplug_disable) did cpu_hotplug_disable() hibernate path calls disable_nonboot_cpus() and if we hit an error in _cpu_down() enable_nonboot_cpus() will be called on the failure path (thus making cpu_hotplug_disabled = 0 and leaving cpu hotplug in 'enabled' state). Same problem is possible if more than 1 module use cpu_hotplug_disable/cpu_hotplug_enable on their load/unload paths. When one of these modules is been unloaded it is logical to leave cpu hotplug in 'disabled' state. To support the change we need to increse cpu_hotplug_disabled counter in disable_nonboot_cpus() unconditionally as all users of disable_nonboot_cpus() are supposed to do enable_nonboot_cpus() in case an error was returned.

2011-10-22PM / Documentation: Update docs about suspend and CPU hotplugSrivatsa S. Bhat
Update the documentation about the interaction between the suspend (S3) call path and the CPU hotplug infrastructure. This patch focusses only on the activities of the freezer, cpu hotplug and the notifications involved. It outlines how regular CPU hotplug differs from the way it is invoked during suspend and also tries to explain the locking involved. In addition to that, it discusses the issue of microcode update during CPU hotplug operations. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
