Subject: [PATCH] Silence warning in rtas_event_scan()
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2009 16:49:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091109004924.GA28481@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
The rtas_event_scan() function uses smp_processor_id() without having
disabled preemption, which results in a warning as follows:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: events/0/9677
caller is .rtas_event_scan+0x9c/0x1ac
Call Trace:
[c00000001bb9fc20] [c0000000000102c8] .show_stack+0x70/0x184 (unreliable)
[c00000001bb9fcd0] [c0000000002ebecc] .debug_smp_processor_id+0xe8/0x11c
[c00000001bb9fd60] [c0000000000434f8] .rtas_event_scan+0x9c/0x1ac
[c00000001bb9fdf0] [c000000000087494] .worker_thread+0x1d8/0x2a8
[c00000001bb9fed0] [c00000000008c41c] .kthread+0xa8/0xb4
[c00000001bb9ff90] [c0000000000272b0] .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70
However, this code is simply chosing a starting point for a traversal
of all online CPUs, and under get_online_cpus() protection. Therefore,
unprotected use of smp_processor_id() is permissible here. Change the
smp_processor_id() to raw_smp_processor_id() to silence the warning.
