You need to call register_cpu_notifier() from your init function.
|
||||
Init functions could be of two types:
|
||||
1. early init (init function called when only the boot processor is online).
|
||||
2. late init (init function called _after_ all the CPUs are online).
|
||||
|
||||
In your init function,
|
||||
For the first case, you should add the following to your init function
|
||||
|
||||
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
|
||||
|
||||
For the second case, you should add the following to your init function
|
||||
|
||||
register_hotcpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
|
||||
|
||||
You can fail PREPARE notifiers if something doesn't work to prepare resources.
|
||||
This will stop the activity and send a following CANCELED event back.
