[ 015/103] powerpc/numa: Do not update sysfs cpu registration from invalid context

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 23 2013 - 18:56:32 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nathan Fontenot <nfont@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd023217e17e72b46fb4d49c7734c426938c3dba upstream.

The topology update code that updates the cpu node registration in sysfs
should not be called while in stop_machine(). The register/unregister
calls take a lock and may sleep.

This patch moves these calls outside of the call to stop_machine().
