[PATCH 1/2] debugobjects: Warn wrong annotation outside bucket lock

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Wed Dec 12 2018 - 23:34:56 EST


debugobjects checks during initialization where the real object resides.
Kernel must use debug_object_init() or debug_object_init_on_stack()
accordingly. I'm not sure if it's worth to check debug_object
initialization place, but it seems to be well-documented.

If initialization function finds that the debug object actually resides
in a different place than was annotated, warning is being printed.

Unfortunately, it becomes error-prone to use WARN() or printing under
debugobjects bucket lock: printk() may defer work to workqueue, and
realization of workqueues uses debugobjects. Further, console drivers
use page allocator, potentially vmalloc() or slub/slab. Which reasonably
makes lockdep to go nuts as there are debug_check_no_obj_freed() checks
in allocators.

Move printings out of debugobjets bucket lock to address the potential
lockups.
