From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> There is no need to acquire pcpu_lock for pcpu_chunk_addr_search(): 1) both pcpu_first_chunk & pcpu_reserved_chunk must have been initialized before the invocation of free_percpu(). 2) The dynamically-created chunk must be valid before the per-cpu pointers allocated from it are freed. So acquire pcpu_lock() after the invocation of pcpu_chunk_addr_search().
