I just triggered the same thing here too. Looking at your fix and not
even pretending to know what's going on with that percpu sequence
counting, I can't help but wonder why do you wanna do:
seq = *raw_cpu_ptr(&discard_pa_seq);
instead of simply doing:
seq = this_cpu_read(discard_pa_seq);
That's correct. Thanks for pointing that out.
I guess in my development version of code I had seq as a u64 pointer
variable which later I had changed to u64 variable but I guess I
continued using pcpu ptr APIs for that.
Let me re-submit that patch with your Suggested-by tag and corresponding
changes.
