Interesting find. Found via code review or via testing? If via
testing, what is the symptom of the bug when it hits - did you
see CPU hotplug stress-tests hanging? Crashing too perhaps? How
frequently did it occur?
It also appears we introduced this bug at around 2.6.26 (when
the CPU hotplug code was rewritten) - or had it before that as
well.
We are late in -rc's so i'm trying to scope whether it's a
2.6.29 must-have or can wait for 2.6.30.
Ingo
