      mm/slub.c: run free_partial() outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock · 60398923
      Chris Wilson 提交于
      With debugobjects enabled and using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, when a
      kmem_cache_node is destroyed the call_rcu() may trigger a slab
      allocation to fill the debug object pool (__debug_object_init:fill_pool).
      
      Everywhere but during kmem_cache_destroy(), discard_slab() is performed
      outside of the kmem_cache_node->list_lock and avoids a lockdep warning
      about potential recursion:

      mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths · 4949148a
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use
      alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag.  A page allocated with
      this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it
      won't be uncharged.
      
      This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible
      to use along with page reference counting, i.e.  when an allocation is
      supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix
      socket buffers.
      
      To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to
      generic page allocator paths, i.e.  to __alloc_pages_nodemask and
      free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers.  This way,
      one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the
      allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT,
      just like in case of kmalloc and friends.  A charged page will be
      automatically uncharged on free.
      
      To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow.
      To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for
      marking such pages.  Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to
      be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine.  There are other
      (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't
      conflict with them.
      
      In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch
      introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths.  If kmemcg is
      used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one
      page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because
      the data accessed are hot.

      slab: do not panic on invalid gfp_mask · 72baeef0
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Both SLAB and SLUB BUG() when a caller provides an invalid gfp_mask.
      This is a rather harsh way to announce a non-critical issue.  Allocator
      is free to ignore invalid flags.  Let's simply replace BUG() by
      dump_stack to tell the offender and fixup the mask to move on with the
      allocation request.
      
      This is an example for kmalloc(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGHMEM) from a test
      module:
      
        Unexpected gfp: 0x2 (__GFP_HIGHMEM). Fixing up to gfp: 0x24000c0 (GFP_KERNEL). Fix your code!

      mm: SLUB freelist randomization · 210e7a43
      Thomas Garnier 提交于
      Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator.  It was
      previous implemented for the SLAB allocator.  Both use the same
      configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM).
      
      The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages.  The
      order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for
      performance.  Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist.
      
      This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB
      allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable.
      
      For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap:
       - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU)
       - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95)
      
      Performance results:
      
      slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts
      without smp.  It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall
      impact on the system is way lower.

      mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option · 444eb2a4
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake
      kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure.  The problem is that
      THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction.  This
      potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by
      reduced TLB misses.  While there has been considerable effort to reduce
      the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads
      that should fit in memory fail to do so.  Specifically, a simple
      anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least
      even though the working set size is 80% of RAM.  It's been years and
      it's time to throw in the towel.
      
      First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows;
      
       madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it
       never:   Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd
       defer:   A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd
       always:  A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour)
                khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd.
      
      Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter
      direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested
      it.
      
      Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is
      related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work.  The callers that
      really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly.  The slab
      one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was
      never woken up by that path.
      
      This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications
      by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are
      immediately available.  There are still options for users that prefer a
      stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical
      behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where
      kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if
      necessary.  THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter
      direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd.
      
      After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely
      on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future.  In
      some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to
      measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction
      is definitely measurable and can be painful.
      
      The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write
      a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times.  The
      total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply
      measures how long it takes to complete.  It uses multiple threads to see
      if that is a factor.  On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is
      not reported but on NUMA, we see this

      patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.  Similar,
      notice the large reduction in most cases in system CPU usage.  The

      This patch eliminates almost all swapping and direct reclaim activity.
      There is still overhead but it's from NUMA balancing which does not
      identify that it's pointless trying to do anything with this workload.
      
      I also tried the thpscale benchmark which forces a corner case where
      compaction can be used heavily and measures the latency of whether base
      or huge pages were used

      The average time to fault pages is substantially reduced in the majority
      of caseds but with the obvious caveat that fewer THPs are actually used
      in this adverse workload

      Note again that while this does swap as it's an aggressive workload, the
      direct relcim activity and allocation stalls is substantially reduced.
      There is some kswapd activity but ftrace showed that the kswapd activity
      was due to normal wakeups from 4K pages being allocated.
      Compaction-related stalls and activity are almost eliminated.
      
      I also tried the stutter benchmark.  For this, I do not have figures for

      This benchmark is trying to fault an anonymous mapping while there is a
      heavy IO load -- a scenario that desktop users used to complain about
      frequently.  This shows a mix because the ideal case of mapping with THP
      is not hit as often.  However, note that 99% of the mappings complete
      13.79% faster.  The CPU usage here is particularly interesting

      THP gives impressive gains in some cases but only if they are quickly
      available.  We're not going to reach the point where they are completely
      free so lets take the costs out of the fast paths finally and defer the
      cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.

      mm/slub: support left redzone · d86bd1be
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature.  But it is only positioned
      at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob.
      Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next
      object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect.
      This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left
      oob more precisely.
      
      Background:
      
      Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is
      enabled which does page allocation debugging.  That page is out of our
      control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this
      case, we can't find OOB.  Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be
      enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss
      that OOB.
      
      Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too
      complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now.  Almost changes
      are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

      slub: relax CMPXCHG consistency restrictions · 149daaf3
      Laura Abbott 提交于
      When debug options are enabled, cmpxchg on the page is disabled.  This
      is because the page must be locked to ensure there are no false
      positives when performing consistency checks.  Some debug options such
      as poisoning and red zoning only act on the object itself.  There is no
      need to protect other CPUs from modification on only the object.  Allow
      cmpxchg to happen with poisoning and red zoning are set on a slab.

      Since commit 19c7ff9e ("slub: Take node lock during object free

      follows the out label which just returns the node.
      
      Thanks to refactoring, the out and fail paths are now basically the
      same.  Combine the two into one and just use a single label.

      slub: drop lock at the end of free_debug_processing · 282acb43
      Laura Abbott 提交于
      This series takes the suggestion of Christoph Lameter and only focuses
      on optimizing the slow path where the debug processing runs.  The two
      main optimizations in this series are letting the consistency checks be
      skipped and relaxing the cmpxchg restrictions when we are not doing
      consistency checks.  With hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 averaged over 100
      runs:
      
      Before slub_debug=P
        mean 15.607
        variance .086
        stdev .294
      
      After slub_debug=P
        mean 10.836
        variance .155
        stdev .394
      
      This still isn't as fast as what is in grsecurity unfortunately so there's
      still work to be done.  Profiling ___slab_alloc shows that 25-50% of time
      is spent in deactivate_slab.  I haven't looked too closely to see if this
      is something that can be optimized.  My plan for now is to focus on
      getting all of this merged (if appropriate) before digging in to another
      task.
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Currently, free_debug_processing has a comment "Keep node_lock to preserve
      integrity until the object is actually freed".  In actuallity, the lock is
      dropped immediately in __slab_free.  Rather than wait until __slab_free
      and potentially throw off the unlikely marking, just drop the lock in
      __slab_free.  This also lets free_debug_processing take its own copy of
      the spinlock flags rather than trying to share the ones from __slab_free.
      Since there is no use for the node afterwards, change the return type of
      free_debug_processing to return an int like alloc_debug_processing.

      mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators · ca257195
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory
      objects not bound to a single kmem_cache.
      
      Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of
      objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is
      available from the object's page->slab_cache.  Proposing to remove the
      kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API.
      
      Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a
      performance cost.  It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled
      in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow.  The extra
      cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does
      the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow.
      
      Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a
      kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly
      easily.  Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a
      kmem_cache NULL pointer.
      
      This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
      kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.
      
      Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K
      @ 4.00GHz, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y.

      slub: clean up code for kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk · 376bf125
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      This change is primarily an attempt to make it easier to realize the
      optimizations the compiler performs in-case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not
      enabled.
      
      Performance wise, even when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in, the
      overhead is zero.  This is because, as long as no process have enabled
      kmem cgroups accounting, the assignment is replaced by asm-NOP
      operations.  This is possible because memcg_kmem_enabled() uses a
      static_key_false() construct.
      
      It also helps readability as it avoid accessing the p[] array like:
      p[size - 1] which "expose" that the array is processed backwards inside
      helper function build_detached_freelist().
      
      Lastly this also makes the code more robust, in error case like passing
      NULL pointers in the array.  Which were previously handled before commit
      03374518 ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to
      kmem_cache_free_bulk").

      page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages · 48c935ad
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
      much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
      page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
      
      This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
      __set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
      helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
      helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().
      
      SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
      appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
      correct.

      slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag · 230e9fc2
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache,
      we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is
      inconvenient.  This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed
      to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from
      this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed.
      
      This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it
      will be done later in the series.
      
      Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o
      SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and
      hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags.  Thus using this flag
      will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting
      is not used (only compiled in).

      slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API · 865762a8
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
      
      Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
      is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
      
      A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
      specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
      
      The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
      run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
      the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
      stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
      some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
      
      To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
      kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
      objects with this API change.

      Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
      kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
      
      If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
      to not add any asm code.
      
      Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
      object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
      we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
      match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

      slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk · 03ec0ed5
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
      be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
      memcg_kmem_get_cache().
      
      This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
      
      As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
      to handle an array of objects.
      
      A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
      same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
      realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
      evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
      compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
      
      In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
      slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
      object directly.

      slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist · d0ecd894
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
      "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
      
      The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
      extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
      the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
      
      To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
      freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
      
       1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
          thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
      
       2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
          each with a separate head pointer.
      
       3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
      
      Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
      freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
      freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
      synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
      stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
      head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
      
      All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
      Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
      that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
      a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
      
      Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
      
      Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
      only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

      slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists · 81084651
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer 提交于
      Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
      of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
      (cnt).
      
      Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
      compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
      slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
      object free.
      
      This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
      slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
      __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
      
      Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
      freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
      objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
      
      These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
      freelists it introduces and constructs.
      
      Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
      when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).
