From 161b6ae0e067e421b20bb35caf66bdb405c929ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcin Slusarz Date: Sat, 28 May 2011 13:23:42 +0200 Subject: debugobjects: Fix boot crash when kmemleak and debugobjects enabled Order of initialization look like this: ... debugobjects kmemleak ...(lots of other subsystems)... workqueues (through early initcall) ... debugobjects use schedule_work for batch freeing of its data and kmemleak heavily use debugobjects, so when it comes to freeing and workqueues were not initialized yet, kernel crashes: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [] __queue_work+0x29/0x41a [] queue_work_on+0x16/0x1d [] queue_work+0x29/0x55 [] schedule_work+0x13/0x15 [] free_object+0x90/0x95 [] debug_check_no_obj_freed+0x187/0x1d3 [] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x30/0x4d [] ? free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [] kmem_cache_free+0x64/0x12c [] free_object_rcu+0x68/0x6d [] __rcu_process_callbacks+0x1b6/0x2d9 ... because system_wq is NULL. Fix it by checking if workqueues susbystem was initialized before using. Signed-off-by: Marcin Slusarz Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Dipankar Sarma Cc: Paul E.
