[PATCH] Update sched_domains_numa_masks when new cpus are onlined.

From: Tang Chen
Date: Tue Sep 18 2012 - 06:10:38 EST


Once array sched_domains_numa_masks is defined, it is never updated.
When a new cpu on a new node is onlined, the coincident member in
sched_domains_numa_masks is not initialized, and all the masks are 0.
As a result, the build_overlap_sched_groups() will initialize a NULL
sched_group for the new cpu on the new node, which will lead to kernel panic.

[ 3189.403398] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018

This patch registers a new notifier for cpu hotplug notify chain, and
updates sched_domains_numa_masks every time a new cpu is onlined or offlined.
