Prev: [PATCH] fix the output from /sys/devices/system/cpu/offline
Next: x86: add HPET-quirk for nVidia MCP61 LPC Bridge (10de:03e0)
From: Jan Beulich on 19 Mar 2010 12:30
Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of
prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would
prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus
unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online.

Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come
online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a
simple waste of resources.
