[RFC 0/2] cpu: fix leak and udev race in register_cpu()

From: Igor Mammedov
Date: Mon May 13 2013 - 18:09:29 EST


Here is a crude attempt fix race the way suggested by Greg,
probably done wrong but hopefully in the right direction.

1. move "crash_notes" to static attributes to guarantee that it's
destroyed with CPU on unregister.

2. fixes race between hotplugged CPU and onlining it via udev, described here
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/30/193

Igor Mammedov (2):
cpu: fix crash_notes leak
cpu: make sure that cpu/online file created before KOBJ_ADD is
emitted
