Hi, My question relates to the issue with shutting down a processor. It seems there are several functions that could be used when disabling a processor (or several states to choose from when migrating to another state). My understanding is that using cpu_offline function involves many operations such as de-allocation of structures etc, which would be necessary if the intention was to never power up the processor again, or, if that operation is used very seldom.
However, I would like the dynamically activate and de-activate the processor(s), which would mean that certain administrative actions such as de-allocation of structures might be unnecessary. So, I wonder if there are other functions that could be suitable for my intentions, or if there are certain functions that I can disable in the cpu_offline sequence to make the shutdown of the processor a more in-expensive operation. Currently, I noticed it takes up much more time than I expected...
