Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 4/5] ftrace: Fix possible warning on checking all pages used in ftrace_process_locs()
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2023 17:50:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230712220057.519974644@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20230712215044.496021196@goodmis.org
From: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com>
As comments in ftrace_process_locs(), there may be NULL pointers in
mcount_loc section:
> Some architecture linkers will pad between
> the different mcount_loc sections of different
> object files to satisfy alignments.
> Skip any NULL pointers.
After commit 20e5227e9f55 ("ftrace: allow NULL pointers in mcount_loc"),
NULL pointers will be accounted when allocating ftrace pages but skipped
before adding into ftrace pages, this may result in some pages not being
used. Then after commit 706c81f87f84 ("ftrace: Remove extra helper
functions"), warning may occur at:
WARN_ON(pg->next);
To fix it, only warn for case that no pointers skipped but pages not used
up, then free those unused pages after releasing ftrace_lock.
