Peter, what Daniel said.
cpuset_wait_for_hotplug() doesn't generate an event.

The offline event was moved below in the same function:

+
+ /* Tell user space about the state changes */
+ for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) {
+ dev = get_cpu_device(cpu);
+ kobject_uevent(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_OFFLINE);
+ }
+
+ free_cpumask_var(mask);

Daniel,
thanks for your comments. I'll update the patch and resend.

Best regards,
Alexey
