Christoph caught one.  How does this look?



From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fs/inode.c:inode_lru_isolate(): use atomic count_vm_events()

"percpu: add preemption checks to __this_cpu ops" added preempt check to
used in __count_vm_events() __this_cpu ops, causing the following kswapd
warning:

 BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: kswapd0/56
 caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x2b/0x2d
 Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff813b8d4d>] dump_stack+0x4e/0x7a
 [<ffffffff8121366f>] check_preemption_disabled+0xce/0xdd
 [<ffffffff812136bb>] __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x2b/0x2d
 [<ffffffff810f622e>] inode_lru_isolate+0xed/0x197
 [<ffffffff810be43c>] list_lru_walk_node+0x7b/0x14c
 [<ffffffff810f6141>] ? iput+0x131/0x131
 [<ffffffff810f681f>] prune_icache_sb+0x35/0x4c

Switch from __count_vm_events() to the preempt-safe count_vm_events().
