[PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix CPU_UP_CANCEL handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If a cpu hotplug callback fails on CPU_UP_PREPARE, all callbacks will be
called with CPU_UP_CANCELED.  A few of these callbacks assume that on
CPU_UP_PREPARE a pointer to task has been stored in a percpu array.  This
assumption is not true if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails and the following calls to
kthread_bind() in CPU_UP_CANCELED will cause an addressing exception
because of passing a NULL pointer.
