From 3b6f70fd7dd4e19fc674ec99e389bf0da5589525 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yong Zhang Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 15:16:01 +0800 Subject: x86-smp-remove-call-to-ipi_call_lock-ipi_call_unlock ipi_call_lock/unlock() lock resp. unlock call_function.lock. This lock protects only the call_function data structure itself, but it's completely unrelated to cpu_online_mask. The mask to which the IPIs are sent is calculated before call_function.lock is taken in smp_call_function_many(), so the locking around set_cpu_online() is pointless and can be removed.
