[PATCH -rt 2/5] hotplug: Call cpu_unplug_begin() a little early

From: Yong Zhang <hidden>
Date: 2011-10-16 10:57:18
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: cpu hotplug, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Gleixner, Peter Zijlstra, Linus Torvalds

cpu_unplug_begin() should be called before CPU_DOWN_PREPARE,
because at CPU_DOWN_PREPARE cpu_active is cleared and sched_domain
is rebuilt, it will finally lead to thread 'sync_unplug' will
be running on the cpu on which it's created.

I found by an incorrect warning on smp_processor_id() called by
sync_unplug/1, and trace shows below:
(echo 1 > /sys/device/system/cpu/cpu1/online)
  bash-1664  [000]    83.136620: _cpu_down: Bind sync_unplug to cpu 1
  bash-1664  [000]    83.136623: sched_wait_task: comm=sync_unplug/1 pid=1724 prio=120
  bash-1664  [000]    83.136624: _cpu_down: Wake sync_unplug
  bash-1664  [000]    83.136629: sched_wakeup: comm=sync_unplug/1 pid=1724 prio=120 success=1 target_cpu=000
