If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Aboorva Devarajan [ Upstream commit 5c86f1c1f972761a04bf22f4c0618d1aa714185b ] kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() calls get_cpu() internally to obtain the current CPU id. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls kexec_prepare_cpus_wait() twice -- once for KEXEC_STATE_IRQS_OFF and once for KEXEC_STATE_REAL_MODE -- but only issues a single put_cpu() at the end, leaving preempt_count elevated by one extra nesting level. In practice the imbalance does not trigger a 'scheduling while atomic' splat because the kexec path is a one-way trip: IRQs are already disabled, no schedule() occurs after the leak, and default_machine_kexec() overwrites preempt_count with HARDIRQ_OFFSET before jumping into kexec_sequence() which never returns. However the bookkeeping is still wrong. kexec_prepare_cpus() calls local_irq_disable()/hard_irq_disable() before invoking kexec_prepare_cpus_wait(), so the CPU is already pinned and the get_cpu()/put_cpu() preempt_disable() bracketing is unnecessary. Only the current CPU id is needed, so replace get_cpu() with raw_smp_processor_id() and drop the now-unneeded put_cpu().
