This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API. It is now safe to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination address is pointing to a const variable. As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass integers of different sizes. IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of kfifo_put(). The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.

'copied' and 'len' are in bytes, while 'ret' is in elements, so we need to multiply 'ret' with the size of one element to get the correct result. Signed-off-by:

This commit was incomplete in that code to remove items from the per-cpu lists was missing and never acquired a user in the 5 years it has been in the tree. We're going to implement what it seems to try to archive in a simpler way, and this code is in the way of doing so. Signed-off-by:

For the casual device driver writer, it is hard to remember when to use init_completion (to init a completion structure) or INIT_COMPLETION (to *reinit* a completion structure). Furthermore, while all other completion functions exepct a pointer as a parameter, INIT_COMPLETION does not. To make it easier to remember which function to use and to make code more readable, introduce a new inline function with the proper name and consistent argument type. Update the kernel-doc for init_completion while we are here. Signed-off-by:

This ignores %n in printf again, as was originally documented. Implementing %n poses a greater security risk than utility, so it should stay ignored. To help anyone attempting to use %n, a warning will be emitted if it is encountered. Based on an earlier patch by Joe Perches. Because %n was designed to write to pointers on the stack, it has been frequently used as an attack vector when bugs are found that leak user-controlled strings into functions that ultimately process format strings. While this class of bug can still be turned into an information leak, removing %n eliminates the common method of elevating such a bug into an arbitrary kernel memory writing primitive, significantly reducing the danger of this class of bug. For seq_file users that need to know the length of a written string for padding, please see seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() instead. Signed-off-by:

There are several users who want to know bytes written by seq_*() for alignment purpose. Currently they are using %n format for knowing it because seq_*() returns 0 on success. This patch introduces seq_setwidth() and seq_pad() for allowing them to align without using %n format. Signed-off-by:

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64 is 72 bytes. For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab, so we loose 24 on each. An average system can easily allocate few tens thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant. Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this. Signed-off-by:

If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled. This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t. The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to support dynamically allocated page->ptl. Signed-off-by:

At the moment xtensa uses slab allocator for PTE table. It doesn't work with enabled split page table lock: slab uses page->slab_cache and page->first_page for its pages. These fields share stroage with page->ptl. Signed-off-by:
