Subject: Re: [PATCH] unbreak alpha percpu
Long term, I think what Ivan proposed with a bit of addition so that
combination of DECLARE_PER_CPU() and static DEFINE_PER_CPU() triggers
compile error but I think it's better to do it when converting non-x86
archs to dynamic percpu allocator which is scheduled for the next
merge window. For the time being, how about just moving the generic
percpu_*() accessors to linux/percpu.h? asm-generic/percpu.h is meant
to carry generic stuff for low level stuff - declarations, definitions
and pointer offset calculation and so on but not for generic
interface.
I currently can't build or test stuff so the patch is not tested at
all. Ingo, can you please test whether this would work?
Thanks.
