[PATCH v2 9/9] zsmalloc: replace get_cpu_var with local_lock

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Mon Nov 15 2021 - 19:04:29 EST


From: Mike Galbraith <umgwanakikbuti@xxxxxxxxx>

The usage of get_cpu_var() in zs_map_object() is problematic because
it disables preemption and makes it impossible to acquire any sleeping
lock on PREEMPT_RT such as a spinlock_t.
Replace the get_cpu_var() usage with a local_lock_t which is embedded
struct mapping_area. It ensures that the access the struct is
synchronized against all users on the same CPU.
