kernel/cpu.c: Move the CPU_DYING notifiers
When a cpu is taken offline, the CPU_DYING notifiers are called on the dying cpu. According to <linux/notifiers.h>, the cpu should be "not running any task, not handling interrupts, soon dead". For the current implementation, this is not true: - __cpu_disable can fail. If it fails, then the cpu will remain alive and happy. - At least on x86, __cpu_disable() briefly enables the local interrupts to handle any outstanding interrupts. What about moving CPU_DYING down a few lines, behind the __cpu_disable() line? There are only two CPU_DYING handlers in the kernel right now: one in kvm, one in the scheduler. Both should work with the patch applied [and: I'm not sure if either one handles a failing __cpu_disable()] The patch survives simple offlining a cpu. kvm untested due to lack of a test setup.
