Commit 6889125b8b4e09c5e53e6ecab3433bed1ce198c9 (cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU) causes powernow-k8 to trigger a preempt warning, e.g.: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cpufreq/3776 caller is powernowk8_target+0x20/0x49 Pid: 3776, comm: cpufreq Not tainted 3.6.0 #9 Call Trace: [] debug_smp_processor_id+0xc7/0xe0 [] powernowk8_target+0x20/0x49 [] __cpufreq_driver_target+0x82/0x8a [] cpufreq_governor_performance+0x4e/0x54 [] __cpufreq_governor+0x8c/0xc9 [] __cpufreq_set_policy+0x1a9/0x21e [] store_scaling_governor+0x16f/0x19b [] ? cpufreq_update_policy+0x124/0x124 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x2c/0x49 [] store+0x60/0x88 [] sysfs_write_file+0xf4/0x130 [] vfs_write+0xb5/0x151 [] sys_write+0x4a/0x71 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Fix this by by always using work_on_cpu().
