From 31d9b3938c0459e5e9755ce0a98ac1e24eeff972 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2007 15:36:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] clockevents: do not shutdown the oneshot broadcast device When a cpu goes offline it is removed from the broadcast masks. If the mask becomes empty the code shuts down the broadcast device. This is wrong, because the broadcast device needs to be ready for the online cpu going idle (into a c-state, which stops the local apic timer).
