From 1f5307b1e094bfffa83c65c40ac6e3415c108780 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Mon, 8 May 2017 15:57:12 -0700 Subject: mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users __vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by "mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given range belongs to vmalloc as a caller: 0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3 0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3 We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.
