Tue, 01 Apr 2025 22:16:00 +0000

lib/crc: remove CONFIG_LIBCRC32CNow that LIBCRC32C does nothing besides select CRC32, make every optionthat selects LIBCRC32C instead select CRC32 directly. Then removeLIBCRC32C.Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: "Martin K.

a7f7f624 - treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

Sat, 13 Jun 2020 16:50:22 +0000

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been graduallydecreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,I also fixed the indentation.There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran thefollowing commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/md/persistent-data/Kconfig

86bad0c7 - dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks

Tue, 24 Nov 2015 00:20:06 +0000

dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaksThe option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-datadirectory to device mapper directory because it will now be used bypersistent-data and bufio. When the option is enabled, each bufio bufferstores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() ordm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1. The buffer'sstacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufioclient is destroyed.When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks areconsidered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards. If notenabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash.Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaksusers would generally ignore them and the problematic code would neverget fixed.Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commitfce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() errorpath").Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/md/persistent-data/Kconfig

Fri, 01 Mar 2013 22:45:46 +0000

dm persistent data: remove CONFIG_EXPERIMENTALThe CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for awhile now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during theLinux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/md/persistent-data/Kconfig

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:19:11 +0000

dm: add persistent data libraryThe persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storageand management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets.It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in anupcoming hierarchical storage target.For further information, please readDocumentation/device-mapper/persistent-data.txtSigned-off-by: Joe Thornber Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon List of files: /linux-6.15/drivers/md/persistent-data/Kconfig
