[merged mm-nonmm-stable] include-linux-percpu_counterh-race-in-uniprocessor-percpu_counter_add.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: include/linux/percpu_counter.h: race in uniprocessor percpu_counter_add()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     include-linux-percpu_counterh-race-in-uniprocessor-percpu_counter_add.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: include/linux/percpu_counter.h: race in uniprocessor percpu_counter_add()
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 16:04:40 +0100

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.
