I had a closer look at this, and we could actually fudge it so that cpu_online() is true in our early boot code, even though we don't know what cpu we're on. But that kind of begs the question, what does "cpu_online(x)" actually mean? If it doesn't mean percpu data is allocated, what does it mean? cheers -- Michael Ellerman IBM OzLabs wwweb: http://michael.ellerman.id.au phone: +61 2 6212 1183 (tie line 70 21183) We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - S.M.A.R.T Person [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | ||||||||||
