get_cpu() disables preemption and returns the current CPU number. The CPU number is only used once while retrieving the address of the local's CPU deferred_flush pointer. We can instead use raw_cpu_ptr() while we remain preemptible. The worst thing that can happen is that flush_unmaps_timeout() is invoked multiple times: once by taskA after seeing HIGH_WATER_MARK and then preempted to another CPU and then by taskB which saw HIGH_WATER_MARK on the same CPU as taskA. It is also likely that ->size got from HIGH_WATER_MARK to 0 right after its read because another CPU invoked flush_unmaps_timeout() for this CPU. The access to flush_data is protected by a spinlock so even if we get migrated to another CPU or preempted - the data structure is protected. While at it, I marked deferred_flush static since I can't find a reference to it outside of this file.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
