Please consider this patch as Acked-by: "Nandigama, Nagalakshmi" <Nagalakshmi.Nandigama@xxxxxxx> Regards, Nagalakshmi -----Original Message----- From: Alex Shi [mailto:alex.shi@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 11:50 AM To: JBottomley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Nandigama, Nagalakshmi; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PATCH] scsi/mpt2sas: fix unsafe preempt setting for ioc commit 911ae943 add a new function: +_base_get_msix_index(struct MPT2SAS_ADAPTER *ioc) +{ + return ioc->cpu_msix_table[smp_processor_id()]; +} Here smp_processor_id() need be used in preempt safe condition. but caller did not give this assurance. So fix this in caller.
