kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files

2013-07-14T23:36:59Z

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

relay: use macro PAGE_ALIGN instead of FIX_SIZE

2013-05-01T00:04:09Z

Macro FIX_SIZE is same as PAGE_ALIGN at present, so use PAGE_ALIGN instead. Thanks Andrew found this. Signed-off-by: zhangwei(Jovi) Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Al Viro Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

relay: move remove_buf_file inside relay_close_buf

2013-04-30T11:00:02Z

Currently remove_buf_file callback is called from from kobject release method. This result in follow issue: # blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test blktrace_setup() dir = create_dir() rchan = relay_open(dir,...) ->create_buf_file_callback buf_file = debugfs_create_file(dir, ) Userspace will open buf_file. Later we make a decision to stop tracing blktrace_down() relay_close(rhcan) /* just decrement kobj reference */ /* since it is not zero then callback not called */ debugfs_remove(dir) /* FAIL due to non empty dir */ Later user space will close the file and file will be deleted, but directory still exist. user_space_close() ->file_release ->release_buf_file_callback ->debugfs_remove(buf_file ## TESTCASE: # blktrace -d /dev/sda1 -d /dev/sda -o test # After that blktrace infrastructure will remain broken in # an unusable state so: blktrace -d /dev/sda1 will not work. In fact this is general issue, blktrace is just one of examples. We can not reliably remove parent dir until all users close the buf_file. Solution: We don't have to wait that long. File should be deleted inside relay_close_buf(). Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses

2012-06-13T19:16:42Z

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.
