From 693f7d362055261882659475d2ef022e32edbff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "shin, jacob" Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 10:54:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] slab: fix crash on __drain_alien_cahce() during CPU Hotplug transfer_objects should only be called when all of the cpus in the node are online. CPU_DEAD notifier callback marks l3->shared to NULL.
