It actively hurts proper merging, and makes for a lot of special cases. There was a good(ish) reason for doing it originally, but it's getting too painful to maintain. And most of the original reasons for it are long gone. So instead of having special code to flush partial lines to the console (as opposed to the record buffers), do _all_ the console writing from the record buffer, and be done with it. If an oops happens (or some other synchronous event), we will flush the partial lines due to the oops printing activity, so this does not affect that. It does mean that if you have a completely hung machine, a partial preceding line may not have been printed out. That was some of the original reason for this complexity, in fact, back when we used to test for the historical i386 "halt" instruction problem by doing pr_info("Checking 'hlt' instruction... "); if (!boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) { pr_cont("disabled\n"); return; } halt(); halt(); halt(); halt(); pr_cont("OK\n"); and that model no longer works (it the 'hlt' instruction kills the machine, the partial line won't have been flushed, so you won't even see it). Of course, that was also back in the days when people actually had textual console output rather than a graphical splash-screen at bootup. How times change..

The record logging code looks at the previous record flags in various ways, and they are all wrong. You can't use the previous record flags to determine anything about the next record, because they may simply not be related. In particular, the reason the previous record was a continuation record may well be exactly _because_ the new record was printed by a different process, which is why the previous record was flushed. So all those games are simply wrong, and make the code hard to understand (because the code fundamentally cdoes not make sense). So remove it. Signed-off-by: -

I don't want to make the device interface mandatory, though, plenty of people use IPMI internally (like with ACPI) and don't need a device interface or the added possible security entry.

Jaegeuk Kim reports that the debian kernel package build gets confused by the lack of Documentation/Changes file. We also refer to that path name in ver_linux and various how-to files and Kconfig files. The file got renamed away in commit 186128f7 ("docs-rst: add documents to development-process"), and as Jaegeuk Kim points out, the commit message for that change says "use symlinks instead of renames", but then the commit itself actually does renames after all. Maybe we should do the other files too, but for now this just adds the minimal symlink back to the historical name, so that people looking for Documentation/Changes will actually find what they are looking for, and the debian scripts continue to work.

radix_tree_join() was freeing nodes with a non-zero ->exceptional count, and radix_tree_split() wasn't zeroing ->exceptional when it allocated the new node. Fix this by making all callers of radix_tree_node_alloc() pass in the new counts (and some other always-initialised fields), which will prevent the problem recurring if in future we decide to do something similar.

The kmem_cache_alloc implementation simply allocates new memory from malloc() and calls the ctor, which zeroes out the entire object. This means it cannot spot bugs where the object isn't properly reinitialised before being freed. Add a small (11 objects) cache before freeing objects back to malloc. This is enough to let us write a test to catch it, although the memory allocator is now aware of the structure of the radix tree node, since it chains free objects through ->private_data (like the percpu cache does).

When replacing an entry with NULL, we need to delete any sibling entries. Also account deleting exceptional entries properly.

This new function splits a larger multiorder entry into smaller entries (potentially multi-order entries). These entries are initialised to RADIX_TREE_RETRY to ensure that RCU walkers who see this state aren't confused. The caller should then call radix_tree_for_each_slot() and radix_tree_replace_slot() in order to turn these retry entries into the intended new entries. Tags are replicated from the original multiorder entry into each new entry. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1480369871-5271-59-git-send-email-mawilcox@linuxonhyperv.comSigned-off-by:

This new function allows for the replacement of many smaller entries in the radix tree with one larger multiorder entry. From the point of view of an RCU walker, they may see a mixture of the smaller entries and the large entry during the same walk, but they will never see NULL for an index which was populated before the join.

This is an exceptionally complicated function with just one caller (tag_pages_for_writeback). We devote a large portion of the runtime of the test suite to testing this one function which has one caller. By introducing the new function radix_tree_iter_tag_set(), we can eliminate all of the complexity while keeping the performance. The caller can now use a fairly standard radix_tree_for_each() loop, and it doesn't need to worry about tricksy things like 'start' wrapping. The test suite continues to spend a large amount of time investigating this function, but now it's testing the underlying primitives such as radix_tree_iter_resume() and the radix_tree_for_each_tagged() iterator which are also used by other parts of the kernel.

This fixes several interlinked problems with the iterators in the presence of multiorder entries. 1. radix_tree_iter_next() would only advance by one slot, which would result in the iterators returning the same entry more than once if there were sibling entries. 2. radix_tree_next_slot() could return an internal pointer instead of a user pointer if a tagged multiorder entry was immediately followed by an entry of lower order. 3. radix_tree_next_slot() expanded to a lot more code than it used to when multiorder support was compiled in. And I wasn't comfortable with entry_to_node() being in a header file. Fixing radix_tree_iter_next() for the presence of sibling entries necessarily involves examining the contents of the radix tree, so we now need to pass 'slot' to radix_tree_iter_next(), and we need to change the calling convention so it is called *before* dropping the lock which protects the tree. Also rename it to radix_tree_iter_resume(), as some people thought it was necessary to call radix_tree_iter_next() each time around the loop. radix_tree_next_slot() becomes closer to how it looked before multiorder support was introduced. It only checks to see if the next entry in the chunk is a sibling entry or a pointer to a node; this should be rare enough that handling this case out of line is not a performance impact (and such impact is amortised by the fact that the entry we just processed was a multiorder entry). Also, radix_tree_next_slot() used to force a new chunk lookup for untagged entries, which is more expensive than the out of line sibling entry skipping.

I want to be able to reference node->parent after freeing node. Currently node->parent is in a union with rcu_head, so it is overwritten when the node is put on the RCU list. We know that private_list is not referenced after the node is freed, so it is safe for these two members to share space.

Instead of reseeding the random number generator every time around the loop in big_gang_check(), seed it at the beginning of execution. Use rand_r() and an independent base seed for each thread in iteration_test() so they don't stomp all over each others state. Since this particular test depends on the kernel scheduler, the iteration test can't be reproduced based purely on the random seed, but at least it won't pollute the other tests. Print the seed, and allow the seed to be specified so that a run which hits a problem can be reproduced.
