From 31950eb66ff47c946fd9c65c2f8c94b6b7ba13fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:18:12 -0700 Subject: mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLAB SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring boot in SLAB due to doing that too late. Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others). Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt. This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and removing one unnecessary special initcall.
