      sched: Fix nohz balance kick · f6c3f168
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      There's a situation where the nohz balancer will try to wake itself:
      
      cpu-x is idle which is also ilb_cpu
      got a scheduler tick during idle
      and the nohz_kick_needed() in trigger_load_balance() checks for
      rq_x->nr_running which might not be zero (because of someone waking a
      task on this rq etc) and this leads to the situation of the cpu-x
      sending a kick to itself.
      
      And this can cause a lockup.
      
      Avoid this by not marking ourself eligible for kicking.

      The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
      thread does some IO.  Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
      crashes.
      
      This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
      group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
      hit this piece of code.
      
      Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
      device in blk_group.  Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
      information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
      in from same group.

      cciss: freeing uninitialized data on error path · b0722cb1
      Dan Carpenter 提交于
      The "h->scatter_list" is allocated inside a for loop.  If any of those
      allocations fail, then the rest of the list is uninitialized data.  When
      we free it we should start from the top and free backwards so that we
      don't call kfree() on uninitialized pointers.
      
      Also if the allocation for "h->scatter_list" fails then we would get an
      Oops here.  I should have noticed this when I send: 4ee69851 "cciss:
      handle allocation failure."  but I didn't.  Sorry about that.
