From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 22:39:43 +0000 (-0700) Subject: vmstat: use raw_cpu_ops to avoid false positives on preemption checks X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=293b6a4c875c3b49853bff7de99954f49f59aa75;p=linux-beck.git vmstat: use raw_cpu_ops to avoid false positives on preemption checks vm counters are allowed to be racy. Use raw_cpu_ops to avoid the local_irq_disable overhead and to avoid preemption checks which will be added to the __this_cpu operations. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: Add comment.
