Subject: [PATCH 1/1] MM: slqb, fix per_cpu access
Date: Sun,  1 Nov 2009 23:12:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257113578-1584-1-git-send-email-jirislaby@gmail.com> (raw)

We cannot use the same local variable name as the declared per_cpu
variable since commit "percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix."

Otherwise we would see crashes like:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
last sysfs file:
CPU 1

Pid: 1, comm: swapper Tainted: G        W  2.6.32-rc5-mm1_64 #860
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8142ff94>]  [<ffffffff8142ff94>] start_cpu_timer+0x2b/0x87
...
