4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit decab0888e6e14e11d53cefa85f8b3d3b45ce73c upstream. The preempt_disable/enable() pair in __native_flush_tlb() was added in commit: 5cf0791da5c1 ("x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write") ... to protect the UP variant of flush_tlb_mm_range(). That preempt_disable/enable() pair should have been added to the UP variant of flush_tlb_mm_range() instead. The UP variant was removed with commit: ce4a4e565f52 ("x86/mm: Remove the UP asm/tlbflush.h code, always use the (formerly) SMP code") ... but the preempt_disable/enable() pair stayed around. The latest change to __native_flush_tlb() in commit: 6fd166aae78c ("x86/mm: Use/Fix PCID to optimize user/kernel switches") ... added an access to a per CPU variable outside the preempt disabled regions, which makes no sense at all. __native_flush_tlb() must always be called with at least preemption disabled. Remove the preempt_disable/enable() pair and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch bad callers independent of the smp_processor_id() debugging.
