[PATCH v2] mm/kfence: select random number before taking raw lock

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The RNG uses vanilla spinlocks, not raw spinlocks, so kfence should pick
its random numbers before taking its raw spinlocks. This also has the
nice effect of doing less work inside the lock. It should fix a splat
that Geert saw with CONFIG_PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING:

     dump_backtrace.part.0+0x98/0xc0
     show_stack+0x14/0x28

Changes v1->v2:
- Make the bools const to help compiler elide branch when possible,
  suggested by Marco.
