Subject: [PATCH] drivers: cpuidle: Disable preemption before get_lppaca function call in pseries_idle_probe function
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:57:35 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170720175735.3957-1-victora@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

When CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, the following warning shows up:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1
caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x58/0x21c

This warning shows up because preemption cannot occur when using
get_paca(), otherwise the paca_struct it points to may be the wrong one
just after.

For this reason, preemption needs to be disabled before
lppaca_shared_proc(get_lppaca()).
