Alternatively, these could be added even if they are not encountered.
This might be more future-proof but the documentation might be clearer.

Boris, Juergen, any opinion?

If this doesn't need any other changes, I'll fix this on commit.

Wouldn't the same comment need to be added to xen_hvm_cpu_notify()?

I'd rather do more than a comment:

Either mask CPU_TASKS_FROZEN from action if it really doesn't matter
whether the flag is set or not (which IMHO is the case here), or
BUG_ON(action & CPU_TASKS_FROZEN) if this really should never happen.

> Wouldn't the same comment need to be added to xen_hvm_cpu_notify()?

The patch of Anna-Maria does that.

This may not be true for arm guests.

Ok. Should the frozen transitions be handled the same way than the
corresponding non frozen transitions? If yes and if it doesn't matter
to mask action with ~CPU_TASKS_FROZEN in arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c and
drivers/xen/events/events_fifo.c like Juergen sugessts, I could change
the patch by masking action.

ARM guests behave like x86 PV guests in this regard. I expect the
comment to be appropriate for both archs or none.

[PATCH] xen: Add comment for missing FROZEN notifier transitions

[Anna-Maria Gleixner]

Xen guests do not offline/online CPUs during suspend/resume and
therefore FROZEN notifier transitions are not required. Add this
explanation as a comment in the code to get not confused why
CPU_TASKS_FROZEN masked transitions are not considered.
