bnx2fc: Improve stats update mechanism Recently had this warning reported: [ 290.489047] Call Trace: [ 290.489053] [<ffffffff8169efec>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [ 290.489055] [<ffffffff810ac7a9>] __might_sleep+0x179/0x230 [ 290.489057] [<ffffffff816a4ad5>] mutex_lock_nested+0x55/0x520 [ 290.489061] [<ffffffffa01b9905>] ? bnx2fc_l2_rcv_thread+0xc5/0x4c0 [bnx2fc] [ 290.489065] [<ffffffffa0174c1a>] fc_vport_id_lookup+0x3a/0xa0 [libfc] [ 290.489068] [<ffffffffa01b9a6c>] bnx2fc_l2_rcv_thread+0x22c/0x4c0 [bnx2fc] [ 290.489070] [<ffffffffa01b9840>] ? bnx2fc_vport_destroy+0x110/0x110 [bnx2fc] [ 290.489073] [<ffffffff8109e0cd>] kthread+0xed/0x100 [ 290.489075] [<ffffffff8109dfe0>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x80/0x80 [ 290.489077] [<ffffffff816b2fec>] ret_from_fork+0x7c/0xb0 [ 290.489078] [<ffffffff8109dfe0>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x80/0x80 Its due to the fact that we call a potentially sleeping function from the bnx2fc rcv path with preemption disabled (via the get_cpu call embedded in the per-cpu variable stats lookup in bnx2fc_l2_rcv_thread. Easy enough fix, we can just move the stats collection later in the function where we are sure we won't preempt or sleep. This also allows us to not have to enable pre-emption when doing a per-cpu lookup, since we're certain not to get rescheduled.
