Re: [PATCH] init_reap_node() initialization fix

Daniel Yeisley <dan.yeisley@xxxxxxxxxx> writes:

It looks like there is a bug in init_reap_node() in slab.c that can
cause multiple oops's on certain ES7000 configurations. The variable
reap_node is defined per cpu, but only initialized on a single CPU.
This causes an oops in next_reap_node() when __get_cpu_var(reap_node)
returns the wrong value. Fix is below.

Agreed. The cpu up call back is usually called on the BP only,
so __get_cpu_var which uses a local variable is wrong here.
