From 22cc4ccf63e10e361531bf61e6e6c96c53a2f665 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yan, Zheng" Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:51:05 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Avoid kfree() in CPU_{STARTING,DYING} On -rt kfree() can schedule, but CPU_{STARTING,DYING} should be atomic. So use a list to defer kfree until CPU_{ONLINE,DEAD}.
