Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.
Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 12:47:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131015174746.793436648@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20131015174722.615394057@linux.com

[-- Attachment #1: preempt_module --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1967 bytes --]

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the
additional preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.

So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

Trace:
