slob/lockdep: Fix gfp flags passed to lockdep
Doing a ktest.pl randconfig, I stumbled across the following bug on boot up: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /home/rostedt/work/autotest/nobackup/linux-test.git/kernel/lockdep.c:2649 lockdep_trace_alloc+0xed/0x100() Hardware name: Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0-rc1-test-00054-g1d68b67 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810626ad>] warn_slowpath_common+0xad/0xf0 [<ffffffff8106270a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff810b537d>] lockdep_trace_alloc+0xed/0x100 [<ffffffff81182fb0>] __kmalloc_node+0x30/0x2f0 [<ffffffff81153eda>] pcpu_mem_alloc+0x13a/0x180 [<ffffffff82be022c>] percpu_init_late+0x48/0xc2 [<ffffffff82bd630c>] ? mem_init+0xd8/0xe3 [<ffffffff82bbcc73>] start_kernel+0x1c2/0x449 [<ffffffff82bbc35c>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x163/0x167 [<ffffffff82bbc493>] x86_64_start_kernel+0x133/0x142^M ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]--- Then I ran a ktest.pl config_bisect and it came up with this config as the problem: CONFIG_SLOB Looking at what is different between SLOB and SLAB and SLUB, I found that the gfp flags are masked against gfp_allowed_mask in SLAB and SLUB, but not SLOB. On boot up, interrupts are disabled and lockdep will warn if some flags are set in gfp and interrupts are disabled. But these flags are masked off with the gfp_allowed_mask during boot. Because SLOB does not mask the flags against gfp_allowed_mask it triggers the warn on. Adding this mask fixes the bug. I also found that kmem_cache_alloc_node() was missing both the mask and the lockdep check, and that was added too.
