[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 11/20] xen/sched: reject switching smt on/off with core scheduling active

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

When core or socket scheduling are active enabling or disabling smt is
not possible as that would require a major host reconfiguration.

Add a bool sched_disable_smt_switching which will be set for core or
socket scheduling.
