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

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Sun Nov 01 2009 - 17:13:05 EST


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
last sysfs file:
CPU 1

RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8142ff94>] [<ffffffff8142ff94>] start_cpu_timer+0x2b/0x87
