2022-10-03relay: use kvcalloc to alloc page array in relay_alloc_page_arraywuchi
kvcalloc() is safer because it will check the integer overflows, and using it will simple the logic of allocation size.

2020-12-15relay: allow the use of const callback structsJani Nikula
None of the relay users require the use of mutable structs for callbacks, however the relay code does. Instead of assigning the default callback for subbuf_start, add a wrapper to conditionally call the client callback if available, and fall back to default behaviour otherwise. This lets all relay users make their struct rchan_callbacks const data.

2020-12-15relay: remove unused buf_mapped and buf_unmapped callbacksJani Nikula
Patch series "relay: cleanup and const callbacks", v2. None of the relay users require the use of mutable structs for callbacks, however the relay code does. Instead of assigning default callbacks when there is none, add callback wrappers to conditionally call the client callbacks if available, and fall back to default behaviour (typically no-op) otherwise. This lets all relay users make their struct rchan_callbacks const data. This series starts with a number of cleanups first based on Christoph's feedback. This patch (of 9): No relay client uses the buf_mapped or buf_unmapped callbacks. Remove them. This makes relay's vm_operations_struct close callback a dummy, remove it as well.

2018-06-12treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array()Kees Cook
The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc(). The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kmalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kmalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-10-11relay: Use irq_work instead of plain timer for deferred wakeupPeter Zijlstra
Relay avoids calling wake_up_interruptible() for doing the wakeup of readers/consumers, waiting for the generation of new data, from the context of a process which produced the data. This is apparently done to prevent the possibility of a deadlock in case Scheduler itself is is generating data for the relay, after acquiring rq->lock. The following patch used a timer (to be scheduled at next jiffy), for delegating the wakeup to another context. commit 7c9cb38302e78d24e37f7d8a2ea7eed4ae5f2fa7 Author: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@comcast.net> Date: Wed May 9 02:34:01 2007 -0700 relay: use plain timer instead of delayed work relay doesn't need to use schedule_delayed_work() for waking readers when a simple timer will do. Scheduling a plain timer, at next jiffies boundary, to do the wakeup causes a significant wakeup latency for the Userspace client, which makes relay less suitable for the high-frequency low-payload use cases where the data gets generated at a very high rate, like multiple sub buffers getting filled within a milli second. Moreover the timer is re-scheduled on every newly produced sub buffer so the timer keeps getting pushed out if sub buffers are filled in a very quick succession (less than a jiffy gap between filling of 2 sub buffers). As a result relay runs out of sub buffers to store the new data. By using irq_work it is ensured that wakeup of userspace client, blocked in the poll call, is done at earliest (through self IPI or next timer tick) enabling it to always consume the data in time. Also this makes relay consistent with printk & ring buffers (trace), as they too use irq_work for deferred wake up of readers.

2016-08-02relay: add global mode support for buffer-only channelsAkash Goel
Commit 20d8b67c06fa ("relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early logging") added support to use channels with no associated files. This is useful when the exact location of relay file is not known or the the parent directory of relay file is not available, while creating the channel and the logging has to start right from the boot. But there was no provision to use global mode with buffer-only channels, which is added by this patch, without modifying the interface where initially there will be a dummy invocation of create_buf_file callback through which kernel client can convey the need of a global buffer. For the use case where drivers/kernel clients want a simple interface for the userspace, which enables them to capture data/logs from relay file inorder & without any post processing, support of Global buffer mode is warranted. Modules, like i915, using relay_open() in early init would have to later register their buffer-only relays, once debugfs is available, by calling relay_late_setup_files(). Hence relay_late_setup_files() symbol also needs to be exported.

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.
