debugobjects: Fill_pool() returns void now

2012-04-18T11:38:48Z

There was a return missed in 1fda107d44 "debugobjects: Remove unused return value from fill_pool()". It makes gcc complain: lib/debugobjects.c: In function ‘fill_pool’: lib/debugobjects.c:98:4: warning: ‘return’ with a value, in function returning void [enabled by default] Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120418112810.GA2669@elgon.mountain Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner

debugobjects: Fix selftest for static warnings

2012-03-05T23:49:43Z

debugobjects is now printing a warning when a fixup for a NOTAVAILABLE object is run. This causes the selftest to fail like: ODEBUG: selftest warnings failed 4 != 5 We could just increase the number of warnings that the selftest is expecting to see because that is actually what has changed. But, it turns out that fixup_activate() was written with inverted logic and thus a fixup for a static object returned 1 indicating the object had been fixed, and 0 otherwise. Fix the logic to be correct and update the counts to reflect that nothing needed fixing for a static object.

debugobjects: Extend to assert that an object is initialized

2011-11-23T17:49:22Z

Calling del_timer_sync() on an uninitialized timer leads to a never ending loop in lock_timer_base() that spins checking for a non-NULL timer base. Add an assertion to debugobjects to catch usage of uninitialized objects so that we can initialize timers in the del_timer_sync() path before it calls lock_timer_base().

debugobjects: Be smarter about static objects

2011-11-23T17:49:22Z

Make debugobjects use the return code from the fixup function. That allows us better diagnostics in the activate check than relying on a WARN_ON() in the object specific code.

debugobjects: Fix boot crash when kmemleak and debugobjects enabled

2011-06-20T12:38:43Z

Order of initialization look like this: ... debugobjects kmemleak ...(lots of other subsystems)... workqueues (through early initcall) ... debugobjects use schedule_work for batch freeing of its data and kmemleak heavily use debugobjects, so when it comes to freeing and workqueues were not initialized yet, kernel crashes: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] __queue_work+0x29/0x41a [] queue_work_on+0x16/0x1d [] queue_work+0x29/0x55 [] schedule_work+0x13/0x15 [] free_object+0x90/0x95 [] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x187/0x1d3 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x30/0x4d [] ? free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [] kmem_cache_free+0x64/0x12c [] free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [] __rcu_process_callbacks+0x1b6/0x2d9 ... because system_wq is NULL.

debugobjects: Add hint for better object identification

2011-03-08T15:10:38Z

In complex subsystems like mac80211 structures can contain several timers and work structs, so identifying a specific instance from the call trace and object type output of debugobjects can be hard. Allow the subsystems which support debugobjects to provide a hint function. This function returns a pointer to a kernel address (preferrably the objects callback function) which is printed along with the debugobjects type. Add hint methods for timer_list, work_struct and hrtimer.
