From ffdb5976c47609c862917d4c186ecbb5706d2dda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:16:28 -0500 Subject: Simplify stop_machine stop_machine creates a kthread which creates kernel threads. We can create those threads directly and simplify things a little. Some care must be taken with CPU hotunplug, which has special needs, but that code seems more robust than it was in the past.
