selftests/ftrace: Fix unique symbol check in kprobe_non_uniq_symbol.tcgrafted
The current regex also matches symbols in modules, which makes the
test fail on s390 where name_show is present only once in the kernel,
but also multiple times in modules:
000001b1401cdc20 t name_show
000001b0c05e6c40 t name_show [mdev]
000001b0c0495f30 t name_show [i2c_core]
Fix this by changing the regular expression to only match the function
name.

It is used by dm-snapshot and dm-mirror. + +Users of kcopyd must first create a client and indicate how many memory pages +to set aside for their copy jobs. This is done with a call to +kcopyd_client_create():: + + int kcopyd_client_create(unsigned int num_pages, + struct kcopyd_client **result); + +To start a copy job, the user must set up io_region structures to describe +the source and destinations of the copy. Each io_region indicates a +block-device along with the starting sector and size of the region. The source +of the copy is given as one io_region structure, and the destinations of the +copy are given as an array of io_region structures:: + + struct io_region { + struct block_device *bdev; + sector_t sector; + sector_t count; + }; + +To start the copy, the user calls kcopyd_copy(), passing in the client +pointer, pointers to the source and destination io_regions, the name of a +completion callback routine, and a pointer to some context data for the copy:: + + int kcopyd_copy(struct kcopyd_client *kc, struct io_region *from, + unsigned int num_dests, struct io_region *dests, + unsigned int flags, kcopyd_notify_fn fn, void *context); + + typedef void (*kcopyd_notify_fn)(int read_err, unsigned int write_err, + void *context); + +When the copy completes, kcopyd will call the user's completion routine, +passing back the user's context pointer. It will also indicate if a read or +write error occurred during the copy. + +When a user is done with all their copy jobs, they should call +kcopyd_client_destroy() to delete the kcopyd client, which will release the +associated memory pages:: + + void kcopyd_client_destroy(struct kcopyd_client *kc); |
