Subject: [PATCH 1/2] pseries: Don't panic when H_PROD fails during cpu-online.
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:49:37 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091210111937.18281.5146.stgit@sofia.in.ibm.com> (raw)

If an online-attempt on a CPU which has been offlined using H_CEDE
with an appropriate cede latency hint fails, don't panic.

Instead print the error message and let the __cpu_up() code notify the
CPU Hotplug framework of the failure, which in turn can notify the
other subsystem through CPU_UP_CANCELED.
