[PATCH tip/core/rcu 6/9] cpu: Handle smpboot_unpark_threads() uniformly

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue May 12 2015 - 17:53:03 EST


From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 00df35f99191 (cpu: Defer smpboot kthread unparking until CPU known
to scheduler) put the online path's call to smpboot_unpark_threads()
into a CPU-hotplug notifier. This commit places the offline-failure
paths call into the same notifier for the sake of uniformity.

Note that it is not currently possible to place the offline path's call to
smpboot_park_threads() into an existing notifier because the CPU_DYING
notifiers run in a restricted environment, and the CPU_UP_PREPARE
notifiers run too soon.
