include/linux/percpu_counter.h: race in uniprocessor percpu_counter_add()
The percpu interface is supposed to be preempt and irq safe. But: The uniprocessor implementation of percpu_counter_add() is not irq safe: if an interrupt happens during the +=, then the result is undefined. Therefore: switch from preempt_disable() to local_irq_save(). This prevents interrupts from interrupting the +=, and as a side effect prevents preemption.
