This allows more natural specification when using the control language to match against printk formats, e.g #echo -n 'format "Setting node for non-present cpu" +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control instead of #echo -n 'format Setting\040node\040for\040non-present\040cpu +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control Adjust the dynamic debug documention to describe that and provide a new example. Adjust the existing examples in the documentation to reflect the current whitespace escaping behaviour when reading the control file. Fix some minor documentation trailing whitespace.

The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

Specifically, the effect is that each uevent that is being sent causes the code to wake up keventd, then block until keventd has processed the work. Needless to say, this happens many times during the system boot. This patches changes that to UHN_NO_WAIT (brilliant name for a constant btw) so that we only schedule the work to fire the uevent message, but do not wait for keventd to process the work. This removes one of the bottlenecks during boot; each one of them is only a small effect, but the sum of them does add up. [Note, distros that need this are broken, they should be setting CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH to "", that way this code path will never be excuted at all -- gregkh] Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the messages to the listeners have failed: 1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return -ENOBUFS. 2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0. 3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH. In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for conntrackd) in return. This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side if they hit ENOBUFS. BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.

Such a failure would end up in bitmap_find_free_region() accessing beyond the end of the bitmap.

This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.
