[PATCH 5/9] xen/spinlock: Don't leak interrupt name when offlining.

From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
Date: Wed Jun 05 2013 - 11:55:10 EST


When the user does:
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online

kmemleak reports:
kmemleak: 7 new suspected memory leaks (see /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)

unreferenced object 0xffff88003fa51260 (size 32):

Instead of doing it like the "xen/smp: Don't leak interrupt name when offlining"
patch did (which has a per-cpu structure which contains both the
IRQ number and char*) we use a per-cpu pointers to a *char.

The reason is that the "__this_cpu_read(lock_kicker_irq);" macro
blows up with "__bad_size_call_parameter()" as the size of the
returned structure is not within the parameters of what it expects
and optimizes for.
