[RESEND PATCH v4 0/2] cpuhp: fix some st->target issues

From: Phil Auld
Date: Thu Sep 15 2022 - 11:38:09 EST


Fix a couple of cpuhp inconsistencies.

The first prevents target_store() from calling cpu_down() when
target == state which prevents the cpu being incorrectly marked
as dying. The second just makes the boot cpu have a valid cpuhp
target rather than 0 (CPU_OFFLINE) while being in state
CPU_ONLINE.

A further issue which these two patches don't address is that
the cpuX/online file looks at the device->offline state and can
thus get out of sync with the actual cpuhp state if the cpuhp
target is used to change state.

v3: Added code to make sure st->target == target in the nop case.

v4: Use WARN_ON in the case where state == target but st->target does
not.

Phil Auld (2):
cpuhp: make target_store() a nop when target == state
cpuhp: Set cpuhp target for boot cpu
