Subject: [PATCH RFC] acpi: Fix unprotected smp_processor_id() in acpi_processor_cst_has_changed()
Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 12:58:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120223205805.GA31838@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() function is invoked from a
CPU_ONLINE or CPU_DEAD function, which might well execute on CPU 0
even though the CPU being hotplugged is some other CPU.  In addition,
acpi_processor_cst_has_changed() invokes smp_processor_id() without
protection, resulting in splats when onlining CPUs.

This commit therefore changes the smp_processor_id() to pr->id, as is
used elsewhere in the code, for example, in acpi_processor_add().

This works for me, but I don't claim to understand ACPI.
