[PATCH 1/1] MM: slqb, fix per_cpu access

[Jiri Slaby]

We cannot use the same local variable name as the declared per_cpu
variable since commit "percpu: remove per_cpu__ prefix."

Otherwise we would see crashes like:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

How about renaming cache_trim_work to slqb_cache_trim_work?  Another
percpu name requirement is global uniqueness (for s390 and alpha
support), so prefixing perpcu variables with subsystem name usually
resolves situations like this better.

Thanks.

Use slqb_ prefix for the global variable so that we don't collide
even with the rest of the kernel (s390 and alpha need this).

How about calling the local var "trim"?

This actually makes the code more readable, IMHO.

Please ignore this version of the patch. After this I sent a new one
which changes the global var name.

So the local variable is untouched there. If you want me to perform the
cleanup, let me know. In any case I'd make it trim_work instead of trim
which makes more sense to me.

OK, sure.  It's not worth changing unless you were doing a rename anyway.

This is getting pedantic and marginal, but the word "work" already appears
everywhere this var is used.  Either "XXX->work", or "INIT_DELAYED_WORK(XXX"
or "scheduled_delayed_work_on(cpu, XXX".

That's why I think the word "work" in unnecessary.

Hope that clarifies why I preferred "trim".
