It might be better to use call_single_data, given:

/* Use __aligned() to avoid to use 2 cache lines for 1 csd */
  typedef struct __call_single_data call_single_data_t
  	__aligned(sizeof(struct __call_single_data));

This way is cleaner, and looks correct, given block softirq is guaranteed to be
scheduled to consume the list if one new request is added to this percpu list,
either smp_call_function_single_async() returns -EBUSY or 0.
