    [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17 · 9c7b216d
    Chandra Seetharaman authored
    In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
    band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
    changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
    only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
    
    We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
    XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
    (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
    
    If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
    time.
    
    This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17
