[PATCH 1/4] sparc64: Set cpu state to offline when stopped

2016-11-10 Thread Vijay Kumar
CPU needs to be marked offline before stopping it. When not marked offline, the xcall receives HV_EWOULDBLOCK and so assumes that not all CPUs received the message, and retries. After 1 retries, it finally fails with fatal mondo timeout. Signed-off-by: Vijay Kumar --- arch/sparc/kernel/smp_6
