WARN_ON(atomic_read(&stopping_cpu) == -1); ?

";" is missing...

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, reschedule: check to see if system is shutting down

Due to reschedule changes in v3.3, a WARN_ON has popped up because a cpu suddenly became offline without letting anyone know.

This results in the schedule trying to move something to another cpu only to find out it isn't there and getting confused.  The splat looks something like:

I solved this by re-using the atomic global variable that is set during native_smp_stop_other_cpus().  This is the piece of code that causes the problem and it sets stopping_cpu to reflect the system is going down.

If the variable is set do not yell with the WARN_ON, just return.

v2:  use if-condition for WARN-ON instead of if {WARN_ON(1)}
