Hi Kuan-Ying,

Thanks for fixing this.

I think cpu_quarantine_offline is better be part of cpu_quarantine
because it logically is and we already obtain a pointer to
cpu_quarantine in quarantine_put, so it will also make the code a bit
shorter.

This looks like a convoluted way to call qlink_free. I think it will
be better to call qlink_free directly here.

And why do we need this? Because CPU shutdown code can still free some
objects afterwards?

You add both if/else and early return, this looks like unnecessary
code complication. It would be simpler with:

if (*offline) {
    qlink_free(...);
    return;
}
... all current per-cpu local ...

I assume this local_irq_save/restore is to prevent some warnings from
this_cpu_ptr.
But CPU online/offline callbacks should run without preemption already
(preempting/rescheduling on other CPUs does not make sense for them,
right?), so I would assume that is already at least preemption
disabled or something. Is there this_cpu_ptr variant that won't
produce warnings on its own in cpu online/offline callbacks?
This whole function could be a 1-liner:
this_cpu_ptr(&cpu_quarantine)->offline = true;
So I am trying to understand if we could avoid all this unnecessary danse.

We just want to drop the whole per-cpu cache at once, right? I would
assume there should be a simpler way to do this all at once, rather
than doing this per-slab.
