From bd9e0b74f52dbac6241643fadca2393808b14c7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:53:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86: cpu_init(): avoid GFP_KERNEL allocation while atomic The patch fixes two issues: 1. cpu_init is called with interrupt disabled. Allocating gdt table there isn't good at runtime. 2. gdt table page cause memory leak in CPU hotplug case.
