Marc reported BUG during shutdown, after debugging, kernel is trying
to remove a broadcast device which mode is CLOCK_EVT_MODE_ONESHOT.
The root cause for this bug is that in clockevents_notify,
"cpumask_weight(dev->cpumask) == 1" is always true even if dev is a
Why is cpumask_weight(dev->cpumask) == 1 always true when we shutdown
a non boot cpu ?
The broadcast device is not a per cpu device and the cpumask should
not only contain the CPU which is shut down !
The patch is papering over the real problem.
Marc, can you please apply the following debug patch and provide the
dmesg outputs from boot and shutdown ?
Thanks,
