This patch aims to silent the warning message in case CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is turned on by any user reporting an issue. For qla2xxx driver it is not critical to have accurate CPU ID which would momentarily cause performance hit for the thread that pre-empted. Thanks, Nilesh

I doubt that the driver needs to check the current CPU so often, if at all. But I don't know the driver well, so can't say more. Apart from that, according to description of queue_work(): "We queue the work to the CPU on which it was submitted, but if the CPU dies it can be processed by another CPU." So isn't something like queue_work_on(raw_smp_processor_id(), ha->wq, &qpair->q_work) same as queue_work(ha->wq, &qpair->q_work)? I see that queue_work() already has the raw_smp_processor_id() call. Thanks, John

In fact queue_work uses queue_work_on that has raw_smp_processor_id. So, qla2x using queue_work_on with raw_smp_processor_id should be okay, unless you think otherwise. Thanks, Nilesh

Simpler is generally better. And I see no advantage in using queue_work_on() with raw_smp_processor_id() (over queue_work()). Thanks, John

And send v3 of the series with this patch skipped. Thanks for the review once again. Thanks, Nilesh
