flush_slab() is called either as part IPI handler on given live cpu, or as a cleanup on behalf of another cpu that went offline. The first case needs to protect updating the kmem_cache_cpu fields with disabled irqs. Currently the whole call happens with irqs disabled by the IPI handler, but the following patch will change from IPI to workqueue, and flush_slab() will have to disable irqs (to be replaced with a local lock later) in the critical part. To prepare for this change, replace the call to flush_slab() for the dead cpu handling with an opencoded variant that will not disable irqs nor take a local lock.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
