From 5c2aed622571ac7c3c6ec182d6d3c318e4b45c8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Baron Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:33:03 -0500 Subject: stop_machine: add ALL_CPUS option -allow stop_mahcine_run() to call a function on all cpus. Calling stop_machine_run() with a 'ALL_CPUS' invokes this new behavior. stop_machine_run() proceeds as normal until the calling cpu has invoked 'fn'. Then, we tell all the other cpus to call 'fn'.
