[PATCH v3 0/3] xen/sched: fix cpu hotplug

Posted by Juergen Gross 1 year, 8 months ago

A recent change in the hypervisor memory allocation framework led to
crashes when unplugging host cpus.

This was due to the (correct) assertion that allocating and freeing
memory is allowed with enabled interrupts only. As the main cpu unplug
operation is done in stop-machine context, this assertion triggers in
debug builds.

Correct that by pre-allocating all needed memory while interrupts are
still on, and free memory after interrupts are enabled again.
