Should it?
No, it could cause problems. I do use "|| true" to explicitly mark where errors are expected and _must_ be ignored, but that doesn't imply it should be "set -e" :-) > Which kernels are broken so that they need the per-CPU workaround? AFAIK, all currently published but 3.6-rc1. There are three ABIs: 1. broken per-core (allows partial update) 2. fixed per-core (errors in every core but the BSP, and updates every core at once) -- should be in -stable soon enough. 3. system-wide (per-core interface removed) : accepted for v3.6. The script handles all three. Note that we do not know which core will be the BSP, it doesn't have to be core 0 as far as I was able to verify this... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
