lib/Kconfig.debug: add list_sort debugging switch

2010-10-26T23:52:18Z

While hunting a non-existing bug in 'list_sort()', I've improved the 'list_sort_test()' function which tests the 'list_sort()' library call. Although at the end I found a bug in my code, but not in 'list_sort()', I think my clean-ups and improvements are worth merging because they make the test function better. This patch: Make the self-tests selectable via Kconfig rather than by manual enabling of DEBUG_LIST_SORT.

percpu_counter: add debugobj support

2010-10-26T23:52:18Z

All percpu counters are linked to a global list on initialization and removed from it on destruction. The list is walked during CPU up/down. If a percpu counter is freed without being properly destroyed, the system will oops only on the next CPU up/down making it pretty nasty to track down. This patch adds debugobj support for percpu counters so that such problems can be found easily. As percpu counters don't make sense on stack and can't be statically initialized, debugobj support is pretty simple. It's initialized and activated on counter initialization, and deactivatd and destroyed on counter destruction. With this patch applied, the bug fixed by commit 602586a83b719df0fbd94196a1359ed35aeb2df3 (shmem: put_super must percpu_counter_destroy) triggers the following warning on tmpfs unmount and the system won't oops on the next cpu up/down operation. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at lib/debugobjects.c:259 debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70() Hardware name: Bochs ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object type: percpu_counter Modules linked in: Pid: 3999, comm: umount Not tainted 2.6.36-rc2-work+ #5 Call Trace: [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [] debug_print_object+0x5c/0x70 [] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x125/0x210 [] kfree+0xb3/0x2f0 [] shmem_put_super+0x1d/0x30 [] generic_shutdown_super+0x56/0xe0 [] kill_anon_super+0x16/0x60 [] kill_litter_super+0x27/0x30 [] deactivate_locked_super+0x45/0x60 [] deactivate_super+0x4a/0x70 [] mntput_no_expire+0x86/0xe0 [] sys_umount+0x6f/0x360 [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace cce2a341ba3611a7 ]--- Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.

2010-10-21T13:44:13Z

With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

move async raid6 test to lib/Kconfig.debug

2010-10-07T22:25:04Z

The prompt for "Self test for hardware accelerated raid6 recovery" does not belong in the top level configuration menu. All the options in crypto/async_tx/Kconfig are selected and do not depend on CRYPTO. Kconfig.debug seems like a reasonable fit. Cc: Herbert Xu Cc: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Dan Williams
