From fc7e1e4b1ca69109d0f694e47ef2328dcb0ebe6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 16:39:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [S390] dont use kthread for smp_rescan_cpus(). Since git commit 3da1c84c00c7e5fa8348336bd8c342f9128b0f14 "workqueues: make get_online_cpus() useable for work->func()" it is safe to call get_online_cpus() from workqueue context. So remove the kthread workaround again.
