      dev_vdbg(), available with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG · aebdc3b4
      David Brownell 提交于
      This defines a dev_vdbg() call, which is enabled with -DVERBOSE_DEBUG.
      When enabled, dev_vdbg() acts just like dev_dbg().  When disabled, it is a
      NOP ...  just like dev_dbg() without -DDEBUG.  The specific code was moved
      out of a USB patch, but lots of drivers have similar support.
      
      That is, code can now be written to use an additional level of debug
      output, selected at compile time.  Many driver authors have found this
      idiom to be very useful.  A typical usage model is for "normal" debug
      messages to focus on fault paths and not be very "chatty", so that those
      messages can be left on during normal operation without much of a
      performance or syslog load.  On the other hand "verbose" messages would be
      noisy enough that they wouldn't normally be enabled; they might even affect
      timings enough to change system or driver behavior.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.
