Subject: [PATCH] workqueues: do CPU_UP_CANCELED if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:27:17 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080722102717.GB1068@tv-sign.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080722102354.GA1068@tv-sign.ru>

(replaces workqueue-proper-error-unwinding-in-cpu-hotplug-error-path.patch)

The bug was pointed out by Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com>, and this
patch is based on his original patch.

workqueue_cpu_callback(CPU_UP_PREPARE) expects that if it returns NOTIFY_BAD,
_cpu_up() will send CPU_UP_CANCELED then.

However, this is not true since

	"cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE"
	commit: a0d8cdb652d35af9319a9e0fb7134de2a276c636

The callback which has returned NOTIFY_BAD will not receive CPU_UP_CANCELED.
Change the code to fulfil the CPU_UP_CANCELED logic if CPU_UP_PREPARE fails.
