[RFC] [PATCH -rt 0/5] patchset focusing on cpu hotplug

From: Yong Zhang
Date: Sun Oct 16 2011 - 06:57:13 EST


When tring cpu hotplug, I get some warning. And these patches
are tring to fix them up.

BTW, I have marked some of them as RFC:
patch#3: printk: don't call printk_tick in printk_needs_cpu()
I don't think we need to call printk_tick() even in mainline
kernel, fix me if I'm wrong.
patch#5: cpufreq: get rid of get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus
IMHO, it's about lockdep false positive, but it's a little
annoying. Maybe there is other way to fix it up.
And the side effect is we introduce more latency than before
though it's rare path.

More details in eatch patch :)

Thanks,
Yong
