Subject: [PATCH sl-b 1/6] mm: Add kmem_last_alloc() to return last allocation for memory block
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...nel.org>
There are kernel facilities such as per-CPU reference counts that give
error messages in generic handlers or callbacks, whose messages are
unenlightening. In the case of per-CPU reference-count underflow, this
is not a problem when creating a new use of this facility because in that
case the bug is almost certainly in the code implementing that new use.
However, trouble arises when deploying across many systems, which might
exercise corner cases that were not seen during development and testing.
Here, it would be really nice to get some kind of hint as to which of
several uses the underflow was caused by.
This commit therefore exposes a new kmem_last_alloc() function that
takes a pointer to dynamically allocated memory and returns the return
address of the call that allocated it. This pointer can reference the
middle of the block as well as the beginning of the block, as needed
by things like RCU callback functions and timer handlers that might not
know where the beginning of the memory block is. These functions and
handlers can use the return value from kmem_last_alloc() to give the
kernel hacker a better hint as to where the problem might lie.
This kmem_last_alloc() function returns NULL for slob and when the
necessary debug has not been enabled for slab and slub. For slub,
build with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and boot with slub_debug=U, or pass
SLAB_STORE_USER to kmem_cache_create() if more focused use is desired.
