  While running the below script, and nothing else was running in the system, host got the kernel call traces after around 15~20 mins

  #!/bin/bash -x
  while true;
  do for i in 1 2 4;
  do ppc64_cpu  --subcores-per-core=$i;
  ppc64_cpu --info
  ppc64_cpu --smt=off;
  ppc64_cpu --info
  sleep 1;
  lscpu
  ppc64_cpu --smt=on;
  ppc64_cpu --info
  sleep 1;
  lscpu
  done;
  sleep 1;
  done

  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.

  Regards,
