<title>[PATCH] cpu hotplug: replace __devinit* with __cpuinit* for cpu notifications</title>

<content type='text'>
Few of the callback functions and notifier blocks that are associated with cpu
notifications incorrectly have __devinit and __devinitdata.  They should be
__cpuinit and __cpuinitdata instead.

It makes no functional difference but wastes text area when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is
enabled and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not.

This patch fixes all those instances.

In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17

<title>[PATCH] node hotplug: register cpu: remove node struct</title>

<id>76b67ed9dce69a6a329cdd66f94af1787f417b62</id>
<content type='text'>
With Goto-san's patch, we can add new pgdat/node at runtime.  I'm now
considering node-hot-add with cpu + memory on ACPI.

I found acpi container, which describes node, could evaluate cpu before
memory. This means cpu-hot-add occurs before memory hot add.

In most part, cpu-hot-add doesn't depend on node hot add.  But register_cpu(),
which creates symbolic link from node to cpu, requires that node should be
onlined before register_cpu().  When a node is onlined, its pgdat should be
there.

This patch-set holds off creating symbolic link from node to cpu
until node is onlined.

This removes node arguments from register_cpu().

Now, register_cpu() requires 'struct node' as its argument.  But the array of
struct node is now unified in driver/base/node.c now (By Goto's node hotplug
patch).  We can get struct node in generic way.  So, this argument is not
necessary now.

This patch also guarantees add cpu under node only when node is onlined.  It
is necessary for node-hot-add vs.  cpu-hot-add patch following this.

Moreover, register_cpu calculates cpu-&gt;node_id by cpu_to_node() without regard
to its 'struct node *root' argument.  This patch removes it.

Also modify callers of register_cpu()/unregister_cpu, whose args are changed
by register-cpu-remove-node-struct patch.

When new node becomes enable by hot-add, new sysfs file must be created for
new node.  So, if new node is enabled by add_memory(), register_one_node() is
called to create it.  In addition, I386's arch_register_node() and a part of
register_nodes() of powerpc are consolidated to register_one_node() as a
generic_code().

This is tested by Tiger4(IPF) with node hot-plug emulation.

Change of_node_to_nid() to traverse the device tree, looking for a numa id.
Cell uses this to assign ids to SPUs, which are children of the CPU node.
Existing users of of_node_to_nid() are altered to use of_node_to_nid_single(),
which doesn't do the traversal.

Export an attach_sysdev_to_node() function, allowing system devices (eg.
SPUs) to link themselves into the numa topology in sysfs.

for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been

possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
