Subject: [PATCH 3/4] cpumask: use maxcpus=NUM to extend the cpu limit as well as restrict the limit
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 03:28:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081211112807.004085000@polaris-admin.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081211112806.499831000@polaris-admin.engr.sgi.com>
[-- Attachment #1: x86:use-maxcpus.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6594 bytes --]
Impact: allow adding additional cpus.
Use maxcpus=NUM kernel parameter to extend the number of possible cpus as well
as (currently) limit them. Any cpus >= number of present cpus will disabled.
The ability to HOTPLUG ON cpus that are "possible" but not "present" is
dealt with in a later patch.
Based on:
