[PATCH] FLush pending softirqs when cpu offline
Hi, Keir,
Thanks for checking in cpu online/offline support.
Another thought inspired by Kevin, due to the time sequence that
different cpus enter the stop machine context, there is a small window
that some kind of softirqs (say softirq_A) are issued to the dying cpu
right after the dying cpu has already handled softirq_A in do_softirq
before entering stop_machine softirq. So this softirq_A should be
handled by the dying cpu after exiting from stop_machine context.
However, scheduling to idle leaves no change for softirqs other than...
