Subject: modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~6596^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08f141d3dbddacb70aba1541bc5f950e466591e9;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

modules: use raw_cpu_write for initialization of per cpu refcount.

The initialization of a structure is not subject to synchronization.
The use of __this_cpu would trigger a false positive with the additional
preemption checks for __this_cpu ops.

So simply disable the check through the use of raw_cpu ops.

Trace:
