[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 17/60] powerpc/pseries/mobility: prevent cpu hotplug during DT update

STALE2630d REVIEWED: 1 (0M)

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-07-19 04:11:45
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

1 review trailer.

From: Nathan Lynch <redacted>

[ Upstream commit e59a175faa8df9d674247946f2a5a9c29c835725 ]

CPU online/offline code paths are sensitive to parts of the device
tree (various cpu node properties, cache nodes) that can be changed as
a result of a migration.

Prevent CPU hotplug while the device tree potentially is inconsistent.

Fixes: 410bccf97881 ("powerpc/pseries: Partition migration in the kernel")
