2018-08-16ila: make lockdep happy againCong Wang1-4/+7
Previously, alloc_ila_locks() and bucket_table_alloc() call spin_lock_init() separately, therefore they have two different lock names and lock class keys. However, after commit b893281715ab ("ila: Call library function alloc_bucket_locks") they both call helper alloc_bucket_spinlocks() which now only has one lock name and lock class key. This causes a few bogus lockdep warnings as reported by syzbot. Fix this by making alloc_bucket_locks() a macro and pass declaration name as lock name and a static lock class key inside the macro.

2018-06-08mm: kvmalloc does not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flagsMichal Hocko1-4/+1
kvmalloc warned about incompatible gfp_mask to catch abusers (mostly GFP_NOFS) with an intention that this will motivate authors of the code to fix those. Linus argues that this just motivates people to do even more hacks like if (gfp == GFP_KERNEL) kvmalloc else kmalloc I haven't seen this happening much (Linus pointed to bucket_lock special cases an atomic allocation but my git foo hasn't found much more) but it is true that we can grow those in future. Therefore Linus suggested to simply not fallback to vmalloc for incompatible gfp flags and rather stick with the kmalloc path.

2017-12-11spinlock: Add library function to allocate spinlock buckets arrayTom Herbert1-0/+54
Add two new library functions: alloc_bucket_spinlocks and free_bucket_spinlocks. These are used to allocate and free an array of spinlocks that are useful as locks for hash buckets. The interface specifies the maximum number of spinlocks in the array as well as a CPU multiplier to derive the number of spinlocks to allocate. The number allocated is rounded up to a power of two to make the array amenable to hash lookup. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert <tom@quantonium.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
