回复: [PATCH] x86/intel_rdt: use __this_cpu_read in pseudo_lock_fn()

[苏辉(Robert Su)]

Hi, Reinette:

    There is no issue here, i just think it's better to use __this_cpu_read when
interrupt disabled.

True ... but could you please elaborate what the issue is with using
this_cpu_read()? It too is safe to use when interrupts are disabled.
