Helps finding racy users of call_rcu(), which results in hangs because list entries are overwritten and/or skipped. Changelog since v4: - Bissectability is now OK - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with object_is_static(). - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack. - Remove init_rcu_head() completely. Changelog since v3: - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced "active state" tracker. Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here. This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause the callbacks to be executed twice. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: David S.
