Can you add a memset(,,,. 0, sizeof(struct flush_tlb_info)) everywhere
you grab it? Or, even better, perhaps do something like:
static inline struct flush_tlb_info *get_flush_tlb_info(void)
{
/* check reentrancy, make sure that we use smp_processor_id() or
otherwise assert that we're bound to a single CPU. */
struct flush_tlb_info *ptr = this_cpu_ptr(...);
memset(ptr, 0, sizeof(*ptr));
return ptr;
}
static inline void put_flush_tlb_info(void)
{
/* finish checking reentrancy. */
}
