Hi, I've discovered that some btrfs code doesn't check whether kmalloc() call succeeded. I poorly understand what this code does and how it can be changed, maybe it would be happy with __GFP_NOFAIL. Also there are BUG_ON() after kmalloc()'s, if they could be changed not to panic it would be great. --- ./fs/btrfs/compression.c 2010-07-06 16:45:48.000000000 +0400 +++ /tmp/cocci-output-7773-0df3b6-compression.c 2010-07-28 18:43:07.000000000 +0400 @@ -350,7 +350,6 @@ int btrfs_submit_compressed_write(struct int ret; WARN_ON(start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)); - cb = kmalloc(compressed_bio_size(root, compressed_len), GFP_NOFS); atomic_set(&cb->pending_bios, 0); cb->errors = 0; cb->inode = inode; @@ -587,7 +586,6 @@ int btrfs_submit_compressed_read(struct read_unlock(&em_tree->lock); compressed_len = em->block_len; - cb = kmalloc(compressed_bio_size(root, compressed_len), GFP_NOFS); atomic_set(&cb->pending_bios, 0); cb->errors = 0; cb->inode = inode; --- ./fs/btrfs/tree-log.c 2010-07-06 16:45:48.000000000 +0400 +++ /tmp/cocci-output-7783-8f7d1b-tree-log.c 2010-07-28 18:43:08.000000000 +0400 @@ -336,8 +336,6 @@ static noinline int overwrite_item(struc btrfs_release_path(root, path); return 0; } - dst_copy = kmalloc(item_size, GFP_NOFS); - src_copy = kmalloc(item_size, GFP_NOFS); read_extent_buffer(eb, src_copy, src_ptr, item_size); @@ -664,7 +662,6 @@ static noinline int drop_one_dir_item(st btrfs_dir_item_key_to_cpu(leaf, di, &location); name_len = btrfs_dir_name_len(leaf, di); - name = kmalloc(name_len, GFP_NOFS); read_extent_buffer(leaf, name, (unsigned long)(di + 1), name_len); btrfs_release_path(root, path); @@ -819,7 +816,6 @@ again: ref = (struct btrfs_inode_ref *)ref_ptr; namelen = btrfs_inode_ref_name_len(eb, ref); - name = kmalloc(namelen, GFP_NOFS); BUG_ON(!name); read_extent_buffer(eb, name, (unsigned long)(ref + 1), namelen); @@ -1182,7 +1177,6 @@ static noinline int replay_one_name(stru BUG_ON(!dir); name_len = btrfs_dir_name_len(eb, di); - name = kmalloc(name_len, GFP_NOFS); log_type = btrfs_dir_type(eb, di); read_extent_buffer(eb, name, (unsigned long)(di + 1), name_len); @@ -2605,8 +2599,6 @@ static noinline int copy_items(struct bt INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ordered_sums); - ins_data = kmalloc(nr * sizeof(struct btrfs_key) + - nr * sizeof(u32), GFP_NOFS); ins_sizes = (u32 *)ins_data; ins_keys = (struct btrfs_key *)(ins_data + nr * sizeof(u32)); --- ./fs/btrfs/file.c 2010-07-09 15:55:34.000000000 +0400 +++ /tmp/cocci-output-7826-b84666-file.c 2010-07-28 18:43:13.000000000 +0400 @@ -925,7 +925,6 @@ static ssize_t btrfs_file_aio_write(stru nrptrs = min((iov_iter_count(&i) + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1) / PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, PAGE_CACHE_SIZE / (sizeof(struct page *))); - pages = kmalloc(nrptrs * sizeof(struct page *), GFP_KERNEL); /* generic_write_checks can change our pos */ start_pos = pos; --- ./fs/btrfs/inode.c 2010-07-28 08:11:33.000000000 +0400 +++ /tmp/cocci-output-7824-c1d367-inode.c 2010-07-28 18:43:15.000000000 +0400 @@ -284,7 +284,6 @@ static noinline int add_async_extent(str { struct async_extent *async_extent; - async_extent = kmalloc(sizeof(*async_extent), GFP_NOFS); async_extent->start = start; async_extent->ram_size = ram_size; async_extent->compressed_size = compressed_size; @@ -940,7 +939,6 @@ static int cow_file_range_async(struct i clear_extent_bit(&BTRFS_I(inode)->io_tree, start, end, EXTENT_LOCKED, 1, 0, NULL, GFP_NOFS); while (start < end) { - async_cow = kmalloc(sizeof(*async_cow), GFP_NOFS); async_cow->inode = inode; async_cow->root = root; async_cow->locked_page = locked_page; @@ -4891,7 +4888,6 @@ static noinline int uncompress_inline(st max_size = btrfs_file_extent_ram_bytes(leaf, item); inline_size = btrfs_file_extent_inline_item_len(leaf, btrfs_item_nr(leaf, path->slots[0])); - tmp = kmalloc(inline_size, GFP_NOFS); ptr = btrfs_file_extent_inline_start(item); read_extent_buffer(leaf, tmp, ptr, inline_size); Thanks, Vasiliy. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
