Subject: [PATCH -v6 2/5] Migrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu.
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2013 06:18:50 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1366802333-8890-3-git-send-email-holt@sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1366802333-8890-1-git-send-email-holt@sgi.com>

We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16
minutes of just stopping the cpus.  The slowdown was tracked to commit
f96972f.

The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus
before halting the system.  We are switching to just migrating to the
boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot.

This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for
specifying the reboot cpu.  Note, this code was shamelessly copied from
arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu
command line parameter.

Changes since -v4.
 - Integrated comments from Srivatsa S. Bhat

 - Used new cpu_hotplug_disable() function.

 - Added 'static' to new function.

Changes since -v1.
 - Set PF_THREAD_BOUND before migrating to eliminate potential race.

 - Modified kernel_power_off to also migrate instead of using
   disable_nonboot_cpus().
