[GIT PULL] linux-pstore.git

From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Tue Aug 07 2012 - 01:07:12 EST


Hello Linus,

This pull request includes a few fixes for pstore that I posted some time
ago, plus Randy's printk format fix. Also, now pstore has a dedicated git
tree, and a few people (including me) ready to review any further changes
to the code, the fact is now reflected in the maintainers file.

Since the fixes are pretty small, for convenience I include all of them
in the end of this email.

Thanks!

pstore/ram: Mark ramoops_pstore_write_buf() as notrace

write_buf() should be marked as notrace, otherwise it is prone to
recursion.

Though, yet the issue is never triggered in real life, because we run
inside the function tracer, where ftrace does its own recurse protection.

But it's still no good, plus soon we might switch to our own tracer ops,
and then the issue will be fatal. So, let's fix it.

pstore/ram: Fix possible NULL dereference

We can dereference 'cxt->cprz' if console and dump logging are disabled
(which is unlikely, but still possible to do). This patch fixes the issue
by changing the code so that we don't dereference przs at all, we can
just calculate bufsize from console_size and record_size values.

Plus, while at it, the patch improves the buffer size calculation.

After Kay's printk rework, we know the optimal buffer size for console
logging -- it is LOG_LINE_MAX (defined privately in printk.c). Previously,
if only console logging was enabled, we would allocate unnecessary large
buffer in pstore, while we only need LOG_LINE_MAX. (Pstore console logging
is still capable of handling buffers > LOG_LINE_MAX, it will just do
multiple calls to psinfo->write).

Note that I don't export the constant, since we will do even a better
thing soon: we will switch console logging to a new write_buf API, which
will eliminate the need for the additional buffer; and so we won't need
the constant.
