These are patches to fix up the issues brought up by Steven Rostedt. I hoped to avoid the preempt disable for the tid retrieval but there is no per cpu atomic way to get a value from the per cpu area and also retrieve the pointer used in that operation. The pointer is necessary to fetch the related data from the per cpu structure. Without that we run into more issues with page pointer checks that can cause freelist corruption in slab_free(). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
