From 2d30a1f6315b8940537e8e98882c6038fbac9ba5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:20:40 -0800 Subject: mm: do not iterate over NR_CPUS in __zone_pcp_update() __zone_pcp_update() iterates over NR_CPUS instead of limiting the access to the possible cpus. This might result in access to uninitialized areas as the per cpu allocator only populates the per cpu memory for possible cpus. This problem was created as a result of the dynamic allocation of pagesets from percpu memory that went in during the merge window - commit 99dcc3e5a94ed491fbef402831d8c0bbb267f995 ("this_cpu: Page allocator conversion").
