From 86ef5c9a8edd78e6bf92879f32329d89b2d55b5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gautham R Shenoy Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2008 21:08:02 +0100 Subject: cpu-hotplug: replace lock_cpu_hotplug() with get_online_cpus() Replace all lock_cpu_hotplug/unlock_cpu_hotplug from the kernel and use get_online_cpus and put_online_cpus instead as it highlights the refcount semantics in these operations. The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed. In case of pseries_add_processor/pseries_remove_processor, use cpu_maps_update_begin()/cpu_maps_update_done() as we're modifying the cpu_present_map there.
