From b4f75d44bed1bdbb14ac704bfc38f62a3675e591 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 20:11:20 +0000 Subject: perf/core: Remove bogus UP_CANCELED hotplug state If CPU_UP_PREPARE fails the perf hotplug code calls perf_event_exit_cpu(), which is a pointless exercise. The cpu is not online, so the smp function calls return -ENXIO. So the result is a list walk to call noops. Remove it.

If yes it allocates a new hash and stores the pointer in the per cpu data structure. But at this point the cpu is still online, so there must be a valid hash already. By overwriting the pointer the existing hash is not longer accessible. Remove the CPU_DOWN_FAILED state, as there is nothing to (re)allocate.
