When booting a pseries kernel with PREEMPT enabled, it dumps the following warning: BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: swapper/0/1 caller is pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c CPU: 13 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.20.0-rc3-00090-g12201a0128bc-dirty #828 Call Trace: [c000000429437ab0] [c0000000009c8878] dump_stack+0xec/0x164 (unreliable) [c000000429437b00] [c0000000005f2f24] check_preemption_disabled+0x154/0x160 [c000000429437b90] [c000000000cab8e8] pseries_processor_idle_init+0x5c/0x22c [c000000429437c10] [c000000000010ed4] do_one_initcall+0x64/0x300 [c000000429437ce0] [c000000000c54500] kernel_init_freeable+0x3f0/0x500 [c000000429437db0] [c0000000000112dc] kernel_init+0x2c/0x160 [c000000429437e20] [c00000000000c1d0] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x6c This happens because the code calls get_lppaca() which calls get_paca() and it checks if preemption is disabled through check_preemption_disabled(). Preemption should be disabled because the per CPU variable may make no sense if there is a preemption (and a CPU switch) after it reads the per CPU data and when it is used. In this device driver specifically, it is not a problem, because this code just needs to have access to one lppaca struct, and it does not matter if it is the current per CPU lppaca struct or not (i.e. when there is a preemption and a CPU migration). That said, the most appropriate fix seems to be related to avoiding the debug_smp_processor_id() call at get_paca(), instead of calling preempt_disable() before get_paca().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
