From 08f141d3dbddacb70aba1541bc5f950e466591e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 15:39:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount. 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.
