;)\n\n--\nAfter noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS\nallocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to\ntry to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.\n\nI coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to\nactually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark\nit. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common\n(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some\nimprovement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock\u0027s\ninterrupt contexts).\n\nI guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and\neven GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly\ncode paths, so let\u0027s start there and see how it goes.\n\nIt *seems* to work.

One problem spot are\nkernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt\ncontext and usually causes the machine to panic.\n\nWhile working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code\ninto the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This\ndebug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due\nto the intrusiveness into the timer code.\n\nThe code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause\ninstantly and keep the system operational.\n\nKeeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug\ninformation without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special\nknowledge of the bug reporter.\n\nThe problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to\nexpose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,\nbut the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.\n\nInstead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a\ngeneric infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code\nand provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.\n\nThe debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic\nobjects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on\nobject operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is\nfreed.\n\nThe tracked object operations are:\n- initializing an object\n- adding an object to a subsystem list\n- deleting an object from a subsystem list\n\nEach operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the\nsubsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent\nthe damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message\nand a stack trace is printed.\n\nThe list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it\u0027s\nlimited to the requirements of the first user (timers).\n\nThe core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is\ngenerated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check\non kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it\u0027s own spinlock to avoid contention on a\nglobal lock.\n\nThe debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead\nis minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line\noption enables the debugging code.\n\nThanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.\n\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Greg KH \u003cgreg@kroah.com\u003e\nCc: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nCc: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1b27d05b6e21249d2338be26dfcbe8f8d8ff8a5b", "tree": "c5413d5f64efed1aa84bfa0ab718f1e2a2f6f9cb", "parents": [ "19fc3f0acde32636529969570055c7e2a744787c" ], "author": { "name": "Pekka Enberg", "email": "penberg@cs.helsinki.fi", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:12:22 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:19 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: move cache_line_size() to \u003clinux/cache.h\u003e\n\nNot all architectures define cache_line_size() so as suggested by Andrew move\nthe private implementations in mm/slab.c and mm/slob.c to \u003clinux/cache.h\u003e.\n\nCc: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: H.

All of these\nzonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.\n\nThis patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The\nfirst contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for\nfallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The\nsecond contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE\nallocations.\n\nAn iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates\nthrough each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Lee Schermerhorn \u003clee.schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\nCc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Hugh Dickins \u003chugh@veritas.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "0e88460da6ab7bb6a7ef83675412ed5b6315d741", "tree": "1feb4de2362e4998a0deeab66af1efb9c7b8bb34", "parents": [ "dac1d27bc8d5ca636d3014ecfdf94407031d1970" ], "author": { "name": "Mel Gorman", "email": "mel@csn.ul.ie", "time": "Mon Apr 28 02:12:14 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Apr 28 08:58:18 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: introduce node_zonelist() for accessing the zonelist for a GFP mask\n\nIntroduce a node_zonelist() helper function.

If there would be code in a constructor\nhandling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on\nSLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code\nin the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real\nuse of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the\nsame effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree).\n\nThere is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be\nclear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be\npointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.\n\nThis is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for\nunimplemented flags from SLUB.\n\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "824ebef122153a03925ae0ed211b4e8568d1c8db", "tree": "2a9ce9acc187b6a6985064c773cbf850ad405a07", "parents": [ "f0f3980b21508bd573eff1746d469436f50a903d" ], "author": { "name": "Akinobu Mita", "email": "akinobu.mita@gmail.com", "time": "Sun May 06 14:49:58 2007 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon May 07 12:12:55 2007 -0700" }, "message": "fault injection: fix failslab with CONFIG_NUMA\n\nCurrently failslab injects failures into ____cache_alloc().
