From 9a11b49a805665e13a56aa067afaf81d43ec1514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2006 00:24:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- mm/vmalloc.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'mm') diff --git a/mm/vmalloc.c b/mm/vmalloc.c index 35f8553f893a..7b450798b458 100644 --- a/mm/vmalloc.c +++ b/mm/vmalloc.c @@ -330,6 +330,8 @@ void __vunmap(void *addr, int deallocate_pages) return; } + debug_check_no_locks_freed(addr, area->size); + if (deallocate_pages) { int i; -- cgit v1.2.2
