Re: [PATCH] percpu: make this_cpu_generic_read notrace

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Will and Steven,

May I have a review or an acked-by from you on this patch so that Arnd
can pick it up.

I have tested this patch on arm qemu, I'm sure it can solve the
problem described in commit message.


Thanks,
Chunyan
