From 51a96c77815e7f139892a6e9c8275a50e9baebdf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 20:37:53 +0100 Subject: cpu: Remove incorrect BUG_ON Oleg mentioned that there is no actual guarantee the dying cpu's migration thread is actually finished running when we get there, so replace the BUG_ON() with a spinloop waiting for it.
