But I suppose it may also be some transient condition in the hypervisor (I don't see it now but it can happen in the future) so perhaps we should indeed try not to die on the spot. -boris > + BUG_ON(HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op(VCPUOP_up, xen_vcpu_nr(cpu), NULL)); > > return 0; > } >

Now that the core code drops sparse_irq_lock after the idle thread synchronized, it's pointless to wait for the AP to mark itself online. Whether the control CPU runs in a wait loop or sleeps in the core code waiting for the online operation to complete makes no difference.
