[RESEND RFC PATCH] acpi/processor: Remove the check of duplicate processors

From: Dou Liyang
Date: Mon May 28 2018 - 05:09:23 EST


We found there are some processors which have the same processor ID
but in different PXM in the ACPI namespace. such as this:

proc_id | pxm
--------------------
0 <-> 0
1 <-> 0
2 <-> 1
3 <-> 1
......
89 <-> 0
89 <-> 1
89 <-> 2
89 <-> 3
......

So we create a mechanism to validate them. make the processor(ID=89)
as invalid. And once a processor be hotplugged physically, we check its
processor id.

Commit 8e089eaa1999 ("acpi: Provide mechanism to validate processors in the ACPI tables")
Commit a77d6cd96849 ("acpi/processor: Check for duplicate processor ids at hotplug time")

Recently, I found the check mechanism has a bug, it didn't use the
acpi_processor_ids_walk() right and always gave us a wrong result.
First, I fixed it by modifying the value with AE_OK which is the
standard acpi_status value.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/20/273

But, now, I even think this check is useless. my reasons are following:

1). Based on the practical tests, It works well, and no bug be reported
2). Based on the code, the duplicate cases can be dealed with by

if (invalid_logical_cpuid(pr->id) || !cpu_present(pr->id))

That seems more reasonable, let's see the following case:

Before the patch, After the patch

the first processor(ID=89)
hot-add failed success

the others processor(ID=89)
hot-add failed failed

So, Remove the check code.
