[Xen-devel] WARN... Device 'cpu1' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. when doing 'xl vcpu-set <guest_id> 1'



When I bring a CPU down in a guest (which should be the same as bringing a
CPU down using the ACPI framework), I get this:

    mce: fix warning messages about static struct mce_device
"

it looks like the corret fix is to make the 'cpu_devices' in
arch/x86/kernel/topology.c to be changed to be more dynamic
(or perhaps have an empty release function)?

Is anybody else hitting this with ACPI CPU hot-unplug? Or do I have
the privilige of being the first? Oh, I hadn't done a full bisection
but v3.2 does not have this.

The guest config is quite simple:
extra="console=hvc0 debug earlyprintk=xen memblock=debug"
kernel="/mnt/lab/bootstrap-x86_64/vmlinuz"
ramdisk="/mnt/lab/bootstrap-x86_64/initramfs.cpio.gz"
memory=1024
maxmem=2048
vcpus=2
name="bootstrap-x86_64"
on_crash="preserve"
vfb = [ 'vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0,vncunused=1']
