CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- spin_lock(my_lock) smp_send_stop() handle_IPI() disable_preemption/irqs while(1); spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch consistency with x86.
