Sebastian Andrzej Siewior f07e0f849a mm/swap_slots.c: don't disable preemption while taking the per-CPU cache
get_cpu_var() disables preemption and returns the per-CPU version of the
variable.  Disabling preemption is useful to ensure atomic access to the
variable within the critical section.

In this case however, after the per-CPU version of the variable is
obtained the ->free_lock is acquired.  For that reason it seems the raw
accessor could be used.  It only seems that ->slots_ret should be
retested (because with disabled preemption this variable can not be set
to NULL otherwise).

This popped up during PREEMPT-RT testing because it tries to take
spinlocks in a preempt disabled section.  In RT, spinlocks can sleep.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
