- * Converted the lock_cpu_hotplug to preempt_disable()
- * and preempt_enable(). This is a bit kludgy and relies on how cpu
- * hotplug works. All we need is a guarantee that cpu hotplug won't make
- * progress on any cpu. Once we do preempt_disable(), this would ensure
- * that hotplug threads don't get onto this cpu, thereby delaying
- * the cpu remove process.
- *
- * We removed the lock_cpu_hotplug since we need to call this function
- * via cpu hotplug callbacks, which result in locking the cpu hotplug
- * thread itself. Agree this is not very clean, cpufreq community
- * could improve this if required. - Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
+ * If we are already in context of hotplug thread, we dont need to
+ * acquire the hotplug lock. Otherwise acquire cpucontrol to prevent
+ * hotplug from removing this cpu that we are working on.
