[PATCH] hotplug: Allow modules to use the cpu hotplug notifiers even if !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
The following patchset allows a host with running virtual machines to be
suspended and, on at least a subset of the machines tested, resumed. Note
that this is orthogonal to suspending and resuming an individual guest to a
file.
A side effect of implementing suspend/resume is that cpu hotplug is now
supported. This should please the owners of big iron.
This patch:
KVM wants the cpu hotplug notifications, both for cpu hotplug itself, but more
commonly for host suspend/resume.
In order to avoid extensive #ifdefs, provide stubs when CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG is
not defined.
In all, we have four cases:
- UP: register and unregister stubbed out
- SMP+hotplug: full register and unregister
- SMP, no hotplug, core: register as __init, unregister stubbed
(cpus are brought up during core initialization)
- SMP, no hotplug, module: register and unregister stubbed out
(cpus cannot be brought up during module lifetime)
