Subject: [PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67664c8f7e74def5adf66298a1245d82af72db2c;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.

This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast.  When we enable
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill
effects on a offline cpu.  If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered
to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled,
which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects.

Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be
switched at cmdline if necessary.
