Subject: [PATCH] clock: Fix smp_processor_id() in preemptible bug
Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 13:53:06 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170308215306.GA8776@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

The v4.11-rc1 kernel emits the following splat in some configurations:

[   43.681891] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: kworker/3:1/49

This happens because workqueue handlers run with preemption enabled
by default and the new this_scd() function accesses per-CPU variables.
This commit therefore disables preemption across this call to this_scd()
and to the uses of the pointer that it returns.  Lightly tested
successfully on x86.
