      acpi-cpufreq: fix 'smp_call_function_many()' confusion · ea34f43a
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
      'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
      rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
      
      My bad.
      
      'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
      
       (a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
           smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
           and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
      
       (b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
           call on that CPU.
      
      Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
      looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
      broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel.  So let's just work around the
      silly semantic bugs in that function.

      x86, mtrr: remove debug message · c5c67c7c
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      The MTRR code grew a new debug message which triggers commonly:

      proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner · 99b76233
      Alexey Dobriyan 提交于
      Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
      as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
      ->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
      in module refcount underflow.
      
      We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
      and ->data.
      
      But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
      and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
      switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
      some thoughts.
      
      ->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
      protection.
      
      rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
      And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
      We definitely don't want such modular code.
      
      Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
      
      So, let's nuke it.
      
      Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.
