This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.3. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From e162830acaa7a41d7ad203b32f842a0c162b9ec4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com> Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:04:37 -0700 Subject: reboot: rigrate shutdown/reboot to boot cpu commit cf7df378aa4ff7da3a44769b7ff6e9eef1a9f3db upstream. We recently noticed that reboot of a 1024 cpu machine takes approx 16 minutes of just stopping the cpus. The slowdown was tracked to commit f96972f2dc63 ("kernel/sys.c: call disable_nonboot_cpus() in kernel_restart()"). The current implementation does all the work of hot removing the cpus before halting the system. We are switching to just migrating to the boot cpu and then continuing with shutdown/reboot. This also has the effect of not breaking x86's command line parameter for specifying the reboot cpu. Note, this code was shamelessly copied from arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c with bits removed pertaining to the reboot_cpu command line parameter.
