I don't pretend that I know what I going on here. I have just one simple question :) > > Signed-off-by: Paul E.

What happens if something post CPUHP_AP_ONLINE fails and we do a rollback to 0? Do we need to revert / undo rcu_cpu_starting() doing?

and looking at this from x86-64 then at this point I have CPU0 online and all other are down (or not yet up). So this is invoked for one CPU only. And later via hotplug callbacks for the other CPUs.
