Message-Id: <1235445101-7882-2-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:11:32 +0900 From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> To: mingo@...e.hu, rusty@...tcorp.com.au, tglx@...utronix.de, x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, hpa@...or.com, jeremy@...p.org, cpw@....com, nickpiggin@...oo.com.au, ink@...assic.park.msu.ru Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 01/10] percpu: fix pcpu_chunk_struct_size Impact: fix short allocation leading to memory corruption While dropping rvalue wrapping macros around global parameters, pcpu_chunk_struct_size was set incorrectly resulting in shorter page pointer array. Fix it.
