Hi Sandhya,
>From the call trace it looks like ppc64_task which is trying to offline
a cpu is blocked inside cpu_hotplug_begin(). This happens when someone
else is trying to prevent a cpu-hotplug using the
get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() call. It is not clear from the logs
what is that entity that's preventing this.
That said, I don't think the patch that you are referring to has
anything to do with it. The problem lies elsewhere. If you see that the
ppc64_cpu task is not making any progress at all, then it might be
prudent to enable lockdep which will at least list out all the locks
that are held at any point.

To add to that, I recall seeing a similar issue where cpu-offline
operation was blocking inside cpu_hotplug_begin. The fix for that is
present in the mainline with commit id : 87af9e7ff9. You can try
backporting that one.

Ran script mentioned in bug description continuously for 6 hours and not have
seen the mentioned call traces.
Once this fix is available as part of ubuntu14.04.3 released kernel,
this bug can be closed.
Thanks in advance.
