Subject: [PATCH v2 sl-b 5/5] percpu_ref: Dump mem_dump_obj() info upon reference-count underflow
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2020 17:13:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201209011303.32737-5-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201209011124.GA31164@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>
Reference-count underflow for percpu_ref is detected in the RCU callback
percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu(), and the resulting warning does not
print anything allowing easy identification of which percpu_ref use
case is underflowing. This is of course not normally a problem when
developing a new percpu_ref use case because it is most likely that
the problem resides in this new use case. However, when deploying a
new kernel to a large set of servers, the underflow might well be a new
corner case in any of the old percpu_ref use cases.
This commit therefore calls mem_dump_obj() to dump out any additional
available information on the underflowing percpu_ref instance.
