Hi Huang Ying,

vmstat_cpu_online() already gets called during boot:

static struct cpuhp_step cpuhp_hp_states[] = {
...
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
[CPUHP_CREATE_THREADS]= {
.name = "threads:prepare",
.startup.single = smpboot_create_threads,
.teardown.single = NULL,
.cant_stop = true,
},
...

smpboot_create_threads
__smpboot_create_thread
smpboot_thread_fn
ht->thread_fn()
cpuhp_thread_fun
cpuhp_invoke_callback
vmstat_cpu_online

That for every CPU that is brought up during boot.

So unless I am missing something, I would say we are already covered
there, right?
