Subject: [GIT pull] smp/hotplug fix for 4.14
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2017 12:43:27 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1710221240551.1905@nanos> (raw)
Linus,
please pull the latest smp-urgent-for-linus git tree from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git smp-urgent-for-linus
The recent rework of the callback invocation missed to cleanup the
leftovers of the operation, so under certain circumstances a subsequent CPU
hotplug operation accesses stale data and crashes. Clean it up.
Thanks,
tglx
