acpi_processor_set_throttling() uses set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to make

has been bound to a cpu. The patch is to replace set_cpus_allowed_ptr()
with work_on_cpu().

OK

I suppose we need this in -stable?

Yes.


Which series of -stable should it go to? All of them or just recent?

I think it should be all of them. Checking thermal zone device in a worker was already there before 2.6.30-rc1 when moved thermal trip handling to generic thermal layer from ACPI.

ACPI: move thermal trip handling to generic thermal layer

The ACPI code currently carries its own thermal trip handling, meaning that any other thermal implementation will need to reimplement
it. Move the code to the generic thermal layer.

Change since v1:
Remove temp variable p_throttling and reference struct
acpi_processor_throttling pointer directly from struct
acpi_processor.
