[RFC PATCH 5/6] fs/resctrl: Do not invoke smp_processor_id() in preemptible context

From: Chen Yu

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 05:43:18 EST


From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx>

__l3_mon_event_count() and __l3_mon_event_count_sum() call
smp_processor_id() to obtain the current CPU. However, some
monitor events can be read from any CPU in task context via
mon_event_count(); in that case the calling context is
preemptible and smp_processor_id() triggers a debug warning.

Fix this by skipping the current-CPU lookup when the event's
any_cpu flag is set, since such events do not need to run on a
specific CPU.
