kernel.h: Remove unused FIELD_SIZEOF()

2019-12-30T20:01:56+00:00

Now that all callers of FIELD_SIZEOF() have been converted to sizeof_field(), remove the unused prior macro. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

kernel.h: update comment about simple_strto() functions

2019-12-05T03:44:12+00:00

There were discussions in the past about use cases for simple_strto() functions and, in some rare cases, they have a benefit over kstrto() ones. Update a comment to reduce confusion about special use cases.

kernel.h: Add non_block_start/end()

2019-09-07T07:28:05+00:00

In some special cases we must not block, but there's not a spinlock, preempt-off, irqs-off or similar critical section already that arms the might_sleep() debug checks. Add a non_block_start/end() pair to annotate these. This will be used in the oom paths of mmu-notifiers, where blocking is not allowed to make sure there's forward progress. Quoting Michal: "The notifier is called from quite a restricted context - oom_reaper - which shouldn't depend on any locks or sleepable conditionals. The code should be swift as well but we mostly do care about it to make a forward progress. Checking for sleepable context is the best thing we could come up with that would describe these demands at least partially." Peter also asked whether we want to catch spinlocks on top, but Michal said those are less of a problem because spinlocks can't have an indirect dependency upon the page allocator and hence close the loop with the oom reaper. Suggested by Michal Hocko.

linux/kernel.h: fix overflow for DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL

2019-06-29T08:43:45+00:00

DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL adds the two arguments and then invokes DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL. But on a 32bit system the addition of two 32 bit values can overflow. DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL does it correctly and stashes the addition into a unsigned long long so cast the result to unsigned long long here to avoid the overflow condition. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL must be an rval] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190625100518.30753-1-vkoul@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Bjorn Andersson Cc: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF

2019-04-06T16:48:35+00:00

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

linux/kernel.h: Use parentheses around argument in u64_to_user_ptr()

2019-04-03T09:43:49+00:00

Use parentheses around uses of the argument in u64_to_user_ptr() to ensure that the cast doesn't apply to part of the argument. There are existing uses of the macro of the form u64_to_user_ptr(A + B) which expands to (void __user *)(uintptr_t)A + B (the cast applies to the first operand of the addition, the addition is a pointer addition). This happens to still work as intended, the semantic difference doesn't cause a difference in behavior. But I want to use u64_to_user_ptr() with a ternary operator in the argument, like so: u64_to_user_ptr(A ? B : C) This currently doesn't work as intended.
