From 1e2585671a2fcd5746fe4768c0a557fcfd4b2d8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 17:06:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86, hotplug: Move WBINVD back outside the play_dead loop commit a68e5c94f7d3dd64fef34dd5d97e365cae4bb42a upstream. On processors with hyperthreading, when only one thread is offlined the other thread can cause a spurious wakeup on the idled thread. We do not want to re-WBINVD when that happens. Ideally, we should simply skip WBINVD unless we're the last thread on a particular core to shut down, but there might be similar issues elsewhere in the system. Thus, revert to previous behavior of only WBINVD outside the loop. Partly as a result, remove the mb()'s around it: they are not necessary since wbinvd() is a serializing instruction, but they were intended to make sure the compiler didn't do any funny loop optimizations.
