tipc: purge signal handler infrastructure

2014-05-05T21:26:45+00:00

In the previous commits of this series, we removed all asynchronous
actions which were based on the tasklet handler - "tipc_k_signal()".

So the moment has now come when we can completely remove the tasklet
handler infrastructure. That is done with this commit.

tipc: don't log disabled tasklet handler errors

2014-03-06T19:46:24+00:00

Failure to schedule a TIPC tasklet with tipc_k_signal because the
tasklet handler is disabled is not an error. It means TIPC is
currently in the process of shutting down. We remove the error
logging in this case.

tipc: protect handler_enabled variable with qitem_lock spin lock

2013-12-11T03:35:49+00:00

'handler_enabled' is a global flag indicating whether the TIPC
signal handling service is enabled or not. The lack of lock
protection for this flag incurs a risk for contention, so that
a tipc_k_signal() call might queue a signal handler to a destroyed
signal queue, with unpredictable results. To correct this, we let
the already existing 'qitem_lock' protect the flag, as it already
does with the queue itself. This way, we ensure that the flag
always is consistent across all cores.

tipc: do not use tasklet_disable before tasklet_kill

2012-11-03T19:10:14+00:00

If tasklet_disable() is called before related tasklet handled,
tasklet_kill will never be finished. tasklet_kill is enough.

tipc: add __read_mostly annotations to several global variables

2012-08-20T09:26:31+00:00

Added to the following:

 - tipc_random
 - tipc_own_addr
 - tipc_max_ports
 - tipc_net_id
 - tipc_remote_management
 - handler_enabled

The above global variables are read often, but written rarely. Use
__read_mostly to prevent them being on the same cacheline as another
variable which is written to often, which would cause cacheline
bouncing.

tipc: use standard printk shortcut macros (pr_err etc.)

2012-07-13T23:24:44+00:00

All messages should go directly to the kernel log.  The TIPC
specific error, warning, info and debug trace macro's are
removed and all references replaced with pr_err, pr_warn,
pr_info and pr_debug.

Commonly used sub-strings are explicitly declared as a const
char to reduce .text size.

Note that this means the debug messages (changed to pr_debug),
are now enabled through dynamic debugging, instead of a TIPC
specific Kconfig option (TIPC_DEBUG).  The latter will be
phased out completely

tipc: compress out gratuitous extra carriage returns

2012-04-30T19:53:56+00:00

Some of the comment blocks are floating in limbo between two
functions, or between blocks of code.  Delete the extra line
feeds between any comment and its associated following block
of code, to be consistent with the majority of the rest of
the kernel.  Also delete trailing newlines at EOF and fix
a couple trivial typos in existing comments.

This is a 100% cosmetic change with no runtime impact.  We get
rid of over 500 lines of non-code, and being blank line deletes,
they won't even show up as noise in git blame.

tipc: remove zeroing assignments to static global variables

2011-01-01T21:57:57+00:00

Cleans up TIPC's source code to eliminate the needless initialization
of static variables to zero.

These changes are purely cosmetic and do not alter the operation of TIPC
in any way.

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58+00:00

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).
