While the generic callback functions have an 'int' return and thus appear to be allowed to return error, this is not true for all states. Specifically, what used to be STARTING/DYING are ran with IRQs disabled from critical parts of CPU bringup/teardown and are not allowed to fail. Add WARNs to enforce this rule. But since some callbacks are indeed allowed to fail, we have the situation where a state-machine rollback encounters a failure, in this case we're stuck, we can't go forward and we can't go back. Also add a WARN for that case. AFAICT this is a fundamental 'problem' with no real obvious solution. We want the 'prepare' callbacks to allow failure on either up or down. Typically on prepare-up this would be things like -ENOMEM from resource allocations, and the typical usage in prepare-down would be something like -EBUSY to avoid CPUs being taken away.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
