3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 320661b08dd6f1746d5c7ab4eb435ec64b97cd45 upstream.
Update to pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() is currently done
without holding pcpu_lock. This can lead to bad updates to the variable.
Add missing lock calls.
Fixes: b539b87fed37 ("percpu: implmeent pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages and chunk->nr_populated")
