Commit eac1e731b59e ("powerpc/xive: guest exploitation of the XIVE interrupt controller") introduced support for the XIVE exploitation mode of the P9 interrupt controller on the pseries platform. At that time, support for CPU removal was not complete on PowerVM and CPU hot unplug remained untested. It appears that some cleanups of the XIVE internal structures are required before releasing the CPU, without which the kernel crashes in a RTAS call doing the CPU isolation. These changes fix the crash by deconfiguring the IPI interrupt source and clearing the event queues of the CPU when it is removed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
