      inotify: use GFP_NOFS in kernel_event() to work around a lockdep false-positive · 381a80e6
      Wu Fengguang 提交于
      There is what we believe to be a false positive reported by lockdep.
      
      inotify_inode_queue_event() => take inotify_mutex => kernel_event() =>
      kmalloc() => SLOB => alloc_pages_node() => page reclaim => slab reclaim =>
      dcache reclaim => inotify_inode_is_dead => take inotify_mutex => deadlock
      
      The plan is to fix this via lockdep annotation, but that is proving to be
      quite involved.
      
      The patch flips the allocation over to GFP_NFS to shut the warning up, for
      the 2.6.30 release.
      
      Hopefully we will fix this for real in 2.6.31.  I'll queue a patch in -mm
      to switch it back to GFP_KERNEL so we don't forget.

      vt: Add a note on the historical abuse of CLOCK_TICK_RATE · fab89223
      Alan Cox 提交于
      This is one area where we can't just magic away the bizarre use of
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE as it leaks to user space APIs. It also means the visible
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE is frozen for architectures which is horrible.
      
      We need to fix this somehow
