From: Yong Zhang Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 07:16:00 +0000 (+0800) Subject: tile: SMP: Remove call to ipi_call_lock()/ipi_call_unlock() X-Git-Tag: v3.6-rc1~166^2~7 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8efdfc3a4ed009c978dab6609d15fb958e7cff12;p=pandora-kernel.git tile: SMP: Remove call to ipi_call_lock()/ipi_call_unlock() ipi_call_lock/unlock() lock resp. unlock call_function.lock. This lock protects only the call_function data structure itself, but it's completely unrelated to cpu_online_mask. The mask to which the IPIs are sent is calculated before call_function.lock is taken in smp_call_function_many(), so the locking around set_cpu_online() is pointless and can be removed.
