We can disable a THP split or a hugepage collapse by disabling irq. We do send IPI to all the cpus in the early part of split/collapse, and disabling local irq ensure we don't make progress with split/collapse. If the THP is getting split we return NULL from find_linux_pte_or_hugepte(). For all the current callers it should be ok. We need to be careful if we want to use returned pte_t pointer outside the irq disabled region. W.r.t to THP split, the pfn remains the same, but then a hugepage collapse will result in a pfn change. There are few steps we can take to avoid a hugepage collapse.One way is to take page reference inside the irq disable region. Other option is to take mmap_sem so that a parallel collapse will not happen. We can also disable collapse by taking pmd_lock. Another method used by kvm subsystem is to check whether we had a mmu_notifer update in between using mmu_notifier_retry(). Signed-off-by:

This patch remove helpers which we had used only once in the code. Limiting page table walk variants help in ensuring that we won't end up with code walking page table with wrong assumptions. Signed-off-by:

pte can get updated from other CPUs as part of multiple activities like THP split, huge page collapse, unmap. We need to make sure we don't reload the pte value again and again for different checks. Signed-off-by:

Commit 9c521a20 ("crypto: api - remove instance when test failed") tried to grab a module reference count before the module was even set. Worse, it then goes on to free the module reference count after it is set so you quickly end up with a negative module reference count which prevents people from using any instances belonging to that module. This patch moves the module initialisation before the reference count. Reported-by:

The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional, which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL). As a small bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly once. In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just do the simple mask. It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6 bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression, gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start % BITS_PER_LONG. So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK. Signed-off-by:

The current semantics of string_escape_mem are inadequate for one of its current users, vsnprintf(). If that is to honour its contract, it must know how much space would be needed for the entire escaped buffer, and string_escape_mem provides no way of obtaining that (short of allocating a large enough buffer (~4 times input string) to let it play with, and that's definitely a big no-no inside vsnprintf). So change the semantics for string_escape_mem to be more snprintf-like: Return the size of the output that would be generated if the destination buffer was big enough, but of course still only write to the part of dst it is allowed to, and (contrary to snprintf) don't do '\0'-termination. It is then up to the caller to detect whether output was truncated and to append a '\0' if desired. Also, we must output partial escape sequences, otherwise a call such as snprintf(buf, 3, "%1pE", "\123") would cause printf to write a \0 to buf[2] but leaving buf[0] and buf[1] with whatever they previously contained. This also fixes a bug in the escaped_string() helper function, which used to unconditionally pass a length of "end-buf" to string_escape_mem(); since the latter doesn't check osz for being insanely large, it would happily write to dst. For example, kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "something and then %pE", ...); is an easy way to trigger an oops. In test-string_helpers.c, the -ENOMEM test is replaced with testing for getting the expected return value even if the buffer is too small. We also ensure that nothing is written (by relying on a NULL pointer deref) if the output size is 0 by passing NULL - this has to work for kasprintf("%pE") to work. In net/sunrpc/cache.c, I think qword_add still has the same semantics. Someone should definitely double-check this. In fs/proc/array.c, I made the minimum possible change, but longer-term it should stop poking around in seq_file internals.

When printf is given the format specifier %pE, it needs a way of obtaining the total output size that would be generated if the buffer was large enough, and string_escape_mem doesn't easily provide that. This is a refactorization of string_escape_mem in preparation of changing its external API to provide that information. The somewhat ugly early returns and subsequent seemingly redundant conditionals are to make the following patch touch as little as possible in string_helpers.c while still preserving the current behaviour of never outputting partial escape sequences. That behaviour must also change for %pE to work as one expects from every other printf specifier. Signed-off-by:

The helper hex_string() is broken in two ways. First, it doesn't increment buf regardless of whether there is room to print, so callers such as kasprintf() that try to probe the correct storage to allocate will get a too small return value. But even worse, kasprintf() (and likely anyone else trying to find the size of the result) pass NULL for buf and 0 for size, so we also have end == NULL. But this means that the end-1 in hex_string() is (char*)-1, so buf < end-1 is true and we get a NULL pointer deref. I double-checked this with a trivial kernel module that just did a kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%14ph", "CrashBoomBang"). Nobody seems to be using %ph with kasprintf, but we might as well fix it before it hits someone. Signed-off-by:

This patch series improves the documentation for printk() formats, and adds support for printing clocks. The latter has always been a hassle if you wanted to support both the common and legacy clock frameworks. - '%pC' and '%pCn' print the name (Common Clock Framework) or address (legacy clock framework) of a clock, - '%pCr' prints the current clock rate. This patch (of 3): Make sure all %p extensions that take parameters by references are documented to do so. Signed-off-by: -

At least since the initial git commit, when base was passed as a separate parameter, number() has only been called with bases 8, 10 and 16. I'm guessing that 66 was to accommodate 64 0/1, a sign and a '\0', but the buffer is only used for the actual digits. Octal digits carry 3 bits of information, so 24 is enough. Spell that 3*sizeof(num) so one less place needs to be changed should long long ever be 128 bits. Also remove the commented-out code that would handle an arbitrary base. Signed-off-by:

Since FORMAT_TYPE_INT is simply 1 more than FORMAT_TYPE_UINT, and similarly for BYTE/UBYTE, SHORT/USHORT, LONG/ULONG, we can eliminate a few instructions by making SIGN have the value 1 instead of 2, and then use arithmetic instead of branches for computing the right spec->type. It's a little hacky, but certainly in the same spirit as SMALL needing to have the value 0x20. For example for the spec->qualifier == 'l' case, gcc now generates 75e: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 762: 83 e2 01 and $0x1,%edx 765: 83 c2 09 add $0x9,%edx 768: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) instead of 763: 0f b6 53 01 movzbl 0x1(%rbx),%edx 767: 83 e2 02 and $0x2,%edx 76a: 80 fa 01 cmp $0x1,%dl 76d: 19 d2 sbb %edx,%edx 76f: 83 c2 0a add $0xa,%edx 772: 88 13 mov %dl,(%rbx) Signed-off-by: -

KERN_CONT is nicely commented in kern_levels.h, but pr_cont() is now used more often, and it lacks the comment stating what it is used for. It can be confused as continuing the log level, but that is not its purpose. Its purpose is to continue a line that had no newline enclosed. This should be documented by pr_cont() as well.
