The DYING/STARTING callbacks are not expected to fail. However, as reported by Derek, buggy drivers such as tboot are still free to return errors within those sections, which halts the hot(un)plug and leaves the CPU in an unrecoverable state. As there is no rollback possible, only log the failures and proceed with the following steps. This restores the hotplug behaviour prior to commit 453e41085183 ("cpu/hotplug: Add cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()") Fixes: 453e41085183 ("cpu/hotplug: Add cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()") Reported-by: Derek Dolney <z23@posteo.net> Signed-off-by: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Derek Dolney <z23@posteo.net> Reviewed-by: Valentin Schneider <vschneid@redhat.com> Link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215867 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220927101259.1149636-1-vdonnefort@google.com
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
