That's a good point - yes, it is necessary. Both smp_processor_id()
*and* smp_call_function_many() need to be called with preemption
disabled.
It did fire the BUG thing in check_preemption_disabled() with 4.7-rc1
here without those fixes.
But, we need the other patch too -
"[PATCH] x86/cpu/AMD: Extend X86_FEATURE_TOPOEXT workaround to newer models"
because the cpumask generation in read_registers() doesn't work on those
Carrizo CPUs.
IINM, the breakage came in during this merge window so we don't have to
CC:stable but both should be sent to Linus as fixes for 4.7.
You could sync with Ingo who takes/acks what... but they could go
through tip and hwmon tree too, I don't see a hard dependency between
the two - they'd only need to be in 4.7-final.
Thanks.
