treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 428

2019-06-05T15:37:16+00:00

Based on 1 normalized pattern(s): this file is released under the gplv2 extracted by the scancode license scanner the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-only has been chosen to replace the boilerplate/reference in 68 file(s).

kref/kobject: Improve documentation

2018-12-06T12:57:03+00:00

The current kref and kobject documentation may be insufficient to understand these common pitfalls regarding object lifetime and object releasing. Add a bit more documentation and improve the warnings seen by the user, pointing to the right piece of documentation. Also, it's important to understand that making fun of people publicly is not at all helpful, doesn't provide any value, and it's not a healthy way of encouraging developers to do better. "Mocking mercilessly" will, if anything, make developers feel bad and go away. This kind of behavior should not be encouraged or justified.

kref: remove WARN_ON for NULL release functions

2017-05-09T00:15:14+00:00

The kref functions check for NULL release functions. This WARN_ON seems rather pointless. We will eventually release and then just crash nicely. It is also somewhat expensive because these functions are inlined in a lot of places. Removing the WARN_ONs saves around 2.3k in this kernel (likely more in others with more drivers) text data bss dec hex filename 9083992 5367600 11116544 25568136 1862388 vmlinux-before-load-avg 9070166 5367600 11116544 25554310 185ed86 vmlinux-load-avg Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170315021431.13107-5-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kref: Implement 'struct kref' using refcount_t

2017-02-10T08:04:19+00:00

Use the refcount_t 'atomic' type to implement 'struct kref', this makes kref more robust by bringing saturation semantics. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

locking/atomic, kref: Implement kref_put_lock()

2017-01-18T09:03:29+00:00

Because home-rolling your own is _awesome_, stop doing it. Provide kref_put_lock(), just like kref_put_mutex() but for a spinlock.

locking/atomic, kref: Kill kref_sub()

By general sentiment kref_sub() is a bad interface, make it go away. Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E. McKenney Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

locking/atomic, kref: Add kref_read()

2017-01-14T10:37:18+00:00

Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals. Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically used for debug messages. Kills two anti-patterns: atomic_read(&kref->refcount) kref->refcount.counter Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Cc: Andrew Morton Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Paul E.

Merge branch 'queue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending

2013-05-16T14:55:07+00:00

Pull target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "A handful of fixes + minor changes this time around, along with one important >= v3.9 regression fix for IBLOCK backends. The highlights include: - Use FD_MAX_SECTORS in FILEIO for block_device as well as files (agrover) - Fix processing of out-of-order CmdSNs with iSBD driver (shlomo) - Close long-standing target_put_sess_cmd() vs. core_tmr_abort_task() race with the addition of kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() (joern + greg-kh) - Fix IBLOCK WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 backend WRITE regression in >= v3.9 (nab + bootc) Note these four patches are CC'ed to stable. Also, there is still some work left to be done on the active I/O shutdown path in target_wait_for_sess_cmds() used by tcm_qla2xxx + ib_isert fabrics that is still being discussed on the list, and will hopefully be resolved soon." * 'queue' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: target: close target_put_sess_cmd() vs. core_tmr_abort_task() race target: removed unused transport_state flag target/iblock: Fix WCE=1 + DPOFUA=1 backend WRITE regression MAINTAINERS: Update target git tree URL iscsi-target: Fix typos in RDMAEXTENSIONS macro usage target/rd: Add ramdisk bit for NULLIO operation iscsi-target: Fix processing of OOO commands iscsi-target: Make buf param of iscsit_do_crypto_hash_buf() const void * iscsi-target: Fix NULL pointer dereference in iscsit_send_reject target: Have dev/enable show if TCM device is configured target: Use FD_MAX_SECTORS/FD_BLOCKSIZE for blockdevs using fileio target: Remove unused struct members in se_dev_entry
