    x86/mm: Remove preempt_disable/enable() from __native_flush_tlb() · decab088
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    The preempt_disable/enable() pair in __native_flush_tlb() was added in
    commit:
    
      5cf0791d ("x86/mm: Disable preemption during CR3 read+write")
    
    ... to protect the UP variant of flush_tlb_mm_range().
    
    That preempt_disable/enable() pair should have been added to the UP variant
    of flush_tlb_mm_range() instead.
    
    The UP variant was removed with commit:
    
      ce4a4e56 ("x86/mm: Remove the UP asm/tlbflush.h code, always use the (formerly) SMP code")
    
    ... but the preempt_disable/enable() pair stayed around.
    
    The latest change to __native_flush_tlb() in commit:
    
      6fd166aa ("x86/mm: Use/Fix PCID to optimize user/kernel switches")
    
    ... added an access to a per CPU variable outside the preempt disabled
    regions, which makes no sense at all. __native_flush_tlb() must always
    be called with at least preemption disabled.
    
    Remove the preempt_disable/enable() pair and add a WARN_ON_ONCE() to catch
    bad callers independent of the smp_processor_id() debugging.
