Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v4] lib: debugobjects: export max loops counter
Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 08:17:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1516839468-3431-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

Currently max chain counter is exported to debugfs, it just record the
counter of inner loop, however, there might be significant iterations of
external loop then it may take significant amount of time to finish all
of the checks. This may cause lockup on !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel build
occasionally.

Record the counter of the max loops then export to sysfs so that the
user can be aware of the real overhead.

Then the output of /sys/kernel/debug/debug_objects/stats looks like:

max_chain     :121
max_loops     :543267
warnings      :0
fixups        :0
pool_free     :1764
pool_min_free :341
pool_used     :86438
pool_max_used :268887
objs_allocated:6068254
objs_freed    :5981076
