I'm puzzled by the following part (can be a misunderstanding from my side) +config CPUISOL_STOPMACHINE + bool "Do not halt isolated CPUs with Stop Machine (EXPERIMENTAL)" + depends on CPUISOL && STOP_MACHINE && EXPERIMENTAL + help + If this option is enabled kernel will not halt isolated CPUs + when Stop Machine is triggered. Stop Machine is currently only + used by the module insertion and removal. this "only" part. What about e.g. a 'cpu hotplug' case (_cpu_down())? (or we should abstract it a bit to the point that e.g. a cpu can be considered as 'a module'? :-) -- Best regards, Dmitry Adamushko -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
