As comments in ftrace_process_locs(), there may be NULL pointers in mcount_loc section: > Some architecture linkers will pad between > the different mcount_loc sections of different > object files to satisfy alignments. > Skip any NULL pointers.
After commit 20e5227e9f55 ("ftrace: allow NULL pointers in mcount_loc"), NULL pointers will be accounted when allocating ftrace pages but skipped before adding into ftrace pages, this may result in some pages not being used. Then after commit 706c81f87f84 ("ftrace: Remove extra helper functions"), warning may occur at: WARN_ON(pg->next);
To fix it, only warn for case that no pointers skipped but pages not used up, then free those unused pages after releasing ftrace_lock.
Fixes: 706c81f87f84 ("ftrace: Remove extra helper functions") Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> --- Changes v4 [6] => v5: - Extract page free logic in ftrace_allocate_pages() as ftrace_free_pages(), then call it to free unused pages in ftrace_process_locs().
Changes v3 [3] => v4: - Keep the upside-down-xmas-tree format as Steve suggested [5].
Changes v2 [2] => v3: - Check NULL for 'pg->next' before assigning it to variable 'pg_unuse'.
Changes v1 [1] => v2: - As Steve suggested [4], only warn for case that no pointers skipped but pages not used up then free those unused pages. But I move the free process after releasing ftrace_lock. - Update commit messages about the new solution.
