<id>urn:sha1:ec764bf083a6ff396234351b51fd236f53c903bf</id>
<content type='text'>
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb-&gt;len and
skb-&gt;dev-&gt;name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.

If you want to reproduce this panic,

1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)

Filesystem, like Btrfs, has some "ULL" macros, and when these macros are passed
to tracepoints'__print_symbolic(), there will be 64-&gt;32 truncate WARNINGS during
compiling on 32bit box.

include/linux/gfp.h and include/trace/events/gfpflags.h are out of sync.
When tracing is enabled, certain flags are not recognised and the text
output is less useful as a result.  Add the missing flags.

<title>rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a26ac2455ffcf3be5c6ef92bc6df7182700f2114</id>
<content type='text'>
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers.  Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked.  If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.

But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.

Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.
