      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
      SLAB.
      
      I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
      to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
      performed before each freeing of an object.
      
      I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
      before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
      manipulation of the object.
      
      Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
      compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
      handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
      SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
      in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
      use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
      same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).
      
      There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
      clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
      pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.
      
      This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
      unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl · 0b4d4147
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
      sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
      pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
      
      I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
      register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
      duplicate sysctl entries.
      
      So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
      the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
      enhancments harder.

      [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h · cd354f1a
      Tim Schmielau 提交于
      After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
      recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
      There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
      anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
      macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
      course of cleaning it up.
      
      To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
      removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
      
      Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
      arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
      allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
      configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
      introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
      by unnecessarily included header files).
