From bbe5d7a93a39104be146f71b9b99af8fb65a6a2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 11:11:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Fix for rcuo online-time-creation reorganization bug Commit 35ce7f29a44a (rcu: Create rcuo kthreads only for onlined CPUs) contains checks for the case where CPUs are brought online out of order, re-wiring the rcuo leader-follower relationships as needed. Unfortunately, this rewiring was broken. This apparently went undetected due to the tendency of systems to bring CPUs online in order. This commit nevertheless fixes the rewiring.
