[PATCH] mm: tlb_gather_mmu get_cpu_var
tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather. That works
because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu. But don't rely on that, it
will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.
