    percpu: Resolve ambiguities in __get_cpu_var/cpumask_var_t · 4ba29684
    Christoph Lameter 提交于
    __get_cpu_var can paper over differences in the definitions of
    cpumask_var_t and either use the address of the cpumask variable
    directly or perform a fetch of the address of the struct cpumask
    allocated elsewhere. This is important particularly when using per cpu
    cpumask_var_t declarations because in one case we have an offset into
    a per cpu area to handle and in the other case we need to fetch a
    pointer from the offset.
    
    This patch introduces a new macro
    
    this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr()
    
    that is defined where cpumask_var_t is defined and performs the proper
    actions. All use cases where __get_cpu_var is used with cpumask_var_t
    are converted to the use of this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
