For systems that have eg. eMMC storage using voltage regulator, memory reclaim path might call back into regulator subsystem. This means we have to make sure no allocations happen with a regulator or regulator list locked. After this series I see no more lockdep complaints on my test system, but please review and test further. First four patches move allocations out of locked regions, next three came as a drive-by cleanups. --- v2: fix bug in patch #4 spotted by kernel test robot reworded commit #7 description Michał Mirosław (7): regulator: push allocation in regulator_init_coupling() outside of lock regulator: push allocation in regulator_ena_gpio_request() out of lock regulator: push allocations in create_regulator() outside of lock regulator: push allocation in set_consumer_device_supply() out of lock regulator: plug of_node leak in regulator_register()'s error path regulator: cleanup regulator_ena_gpio_free() regulator: remove superfluous lock in regulator_resolve_coupling() drivers/regulator/core.c | 164 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 87 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-) -- 2.20.1
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
