[PATCH] debugobjects: scale the static pool size

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Nov 20 2018 - 01:43:19 EST


The current value of the early boot static pool size is not big enough
for systems with large number of CPUs with timer or/and workqueue
objects selected. As the results, systems have 60+ CPUs with both timer
and workqueue objects enabled could trigger "ODEBUG: Out of memory.
ODEBUG disabled". Hence, fixed it by computing it according to
CONFIG_NR_CPUS and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* options.

+ * Some debug objects are allocated during the early boot. Enabling some
+ * options like timers or workqueue objects may increase the size required
+ * significantly with large number of CPUs. For example,
+ *
+ * No. CPUs x 2 (worker pool) objects:
+ *
+ * start_kernel
+ * workqueue_init_early
+ * init_worker_pool
+ * init_timer_key
+ * debug_object_init
+ *
+ * No. CPUs objects (CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS):
+ *
+ * sched_init
+ * hrtick_rq_init
+ * hrtimer_init
+ *
+ * CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK:
+ * No. CPUs x 6 (workqueue) objects:
+ *
+ * workqueue_init_early
+ * alloc_workqueue
+ * __alloc_workqueue_key
+ * alloc_and_link_pwqs
+ * init_pwq
+ *
+ * Also, plus No. CPUs objects:
+ *
+ * perf_event_init
+ * __init_srcu_struct
+ * init_srcu_struct_fields
+ * init_srcu_struct_nodes
+ * __init_work
+ *
+ * Increase the number a bit more in case the implmentatins are changed in
+ * the future.
