Subject: smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~1450^2~2
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7d7e499f7333f68b7e7f67d14b9c1480913b4afb;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads

The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
be parked along with the other per cpu threads.

Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
can park itself once it's done

Add a create callback function as well.
