[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/6] cpupools: fix state when downing a CPU failed



While I've run into the issue with further patches in place which no
longer guarantee the per-CPU area to start out as all zeros, the
CPU_DOWN_FAILED processing looks to have the same issue: By not zapping
the per-CPU cpupool pointer, cpupool_cpu_add()'s (indirect) invocation
of schedule_cpu_switch() will trigger the "c != old_pool" assertion
there.

Clearing the field during CPU_DOWN_PREPARE is too early (afaict this
should not happen before cpu_disable_scheduler()). Clearing it in
CPU_DEAD and CPU_DOWN_FAILED would be an option, but would take the same
piece of code twice. Since the field's value shouldn't matter while the
CPU is offline, simply clear it (implicitly) for CPU_ONLINE and
CPU_DOWN_FAILED, but only for other than the suspend/resume case (which
gets specially handled in cpupool_cpu_remove()).

By adjusting the conditional in cpupool_cpu_add() CPU_DOWN_FAILED
handling in the suspend case should now also be handled better.
