      memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases · b8529907
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
      kmem_cache_destroy().  This is wrong, because the root cache will not
      necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
      kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return.  In
      this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
      one:
      
        kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects

      At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
      memcg cache - the kernel will panic.
      
      This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
      check if the cache has aliases.  Plus, it forbids destroying a root
      cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
      a reference to its parent.

      memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it · 051dd460
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
      destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
      __kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
      destroy the cache.
      
      As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
      a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
      instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
      from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
      freed data).
      
      To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
      destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

      memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation · 5722d094
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:
      
      - Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
        from kmem_cache_create_memcg().  This allows us to get rid of the mutex
        protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
        the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.
      
      - Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This function serves as a proxy
        to kmem_cache_create_memcg().  After separating the cache name creation
        path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

      memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches · a44cb944
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
      find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
      the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
      there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
      increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.
      
      Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
      also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
      every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
      merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
      "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
      caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
      therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
      already exists.
      
      The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
      merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
      them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
      do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
      after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
      guess we should avoid to merge their children too.
      
      So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

      slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path · ba3253c7
      Dave Jones 提交于
      On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
      new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
      allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
      later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
      immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
      ignoring the value of 's':
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err) {
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;
      
      Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3a ("slab:
      do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err && !memcg) {
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;
      
      As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
      skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
      f717eb3a intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
      a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
      check should look like this:
      
          out_unlock:
              ...
              if (err) {
                  if (!memcg)
                      return NULL;
                  /* report error */
                  return NULL;
              }
              return s;

      memcg, slab: fix races in per-memcg cache creation/destruction · 2edefe11
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
      entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  If we find
      no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
      creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The cache creation proceeds
      asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
      clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
      kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed.  However, due
      to a race in the code, it is not always true.  The point is that the
      memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
      a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()).  If
      memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
      concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.
      
      Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache.  One of them
      successfully creates it.  Another one should fail then, but if
      memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
      follows, it won't:
      
        memcg_create_kmem_cache()             memcg_update_cache_size()
        (called w/o mutexes held)             (called with slab_mutex,
                                               set_limit_mutex held)
        -------------------------             -------------------------
      
        mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)
      
                                              s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)
      
        new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
        // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation
      
                                              s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
                                                  =cur_params->memcg_caches[i]
      
        // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
        // so we will hang around until
        // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
        // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
        // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
        // memcg_register_cache!
      
        new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
        mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)
      
      Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
      kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
      return NULL if so.
      
      A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
      kmem_cache_destroy()).  Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
      pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
      with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer.  Therefore
      memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
      slab_mutex.

      memcg, slab: clean up memcg cache initialization/destruction · 1aa13254
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg
      kmem cache initialization/destruction.
      
      Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This
      function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a
      kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the
      memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache.
      
      During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following
      memcg-related functions:
      
       - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly
         created cache;
       - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches
         list.
      
      On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction
      only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the
      reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches,
      removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees
      memcg_params.
      
      Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make
      the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit.
      
      This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg
      caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its
      parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and
      memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and
      destruction paths look symmetrical.

      Currently kmem_cache_create_memcg() backoffs on failure inside

      duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on
      error we should only free the allocated cache.  Since in the next patch
      I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path

      slab_common: Do not check for duplicate slab names · 3e374919
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      SLUB can alias multiple slab kmem_create_requests to one slab cache to save
      memory and increase the cache hotness. As a result the name of the slab can be
      stale. Only check the name for duplicates if we are in debug mode where we do
      not merge multiple caches.
      
      This fixes the following problem reported by Jonathan Brassow:
      
        The problem with kmem_cache* is this:
      
        *) Assume CONFIG_SLUB is set
        1) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
        - creates new kmem_cache structure
        2) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-b")
        - If identical cache characteristics, it will be merged with the previously
          created cache associated with "foo-a".  The cache's refcount will be
          incremented and an alias will be created via sysfs_slab_alias().
        3) kmem_cache_destroy(<ptr>)
        - Attempting to destroy cache associated with "foo-a", but instead the
          refcount is simply decremented.  I don't even think the sysfs aliases are
          ever removed...
        4) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
        - This FAILS because kmem_cache_sanity_check colides with the existing
          name ("foo-a") associated with the non-removed cache.
      
        This is a problem for RAID (specifically dm-raid) because the name used
        for the kmem_cache_create is ("raid%d-%p", level, mddev).  If the cache
        persists for long enough, the memory address of an old mddev will be
        reused for a new mddev - causing an identical formulation of the cache
        name.  Even though kmem_cache_destory had long ago been used to delete
        the old cache, the merging of caches has cause the name and cache of that
        old instance to be preserved and causes a colision (and thus failure) in
        kmem_cache_create().  I see this regularly in my testing.

      mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common code · f1b6eb6e
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
      lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
      in slob.
      
      As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
      all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
      in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
      via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
      kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.
      
      kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
      can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

      slab: propagate tunable values · 943a451a
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.  When
      creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
      parent cache already had.
      
      This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
      cache is created.  But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
      created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
      
      Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
      do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
      called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
      things work as expected.
      
      It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
      normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
      all caches that are already active.
      
      This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
      memcg_params a bit earlier.  We need this to be already set - which
      memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

      memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears · 55007d84
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
      caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
      large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.
      
      Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
      in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.
      
      What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
      an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
      would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
      array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
      number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.
      
      We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
      more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
      limit is reached.
      
      Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
      this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
      have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
      mechanism.

      version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.
      
      A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
      for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
      data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

      slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creation · d8843922
      Glauber Costa 提交于
      Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management
      purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses
      to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab.
      
      No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore
      this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in
      the kmem memcg patches).
      
      Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them
      to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with
      all flags that are valid at creation time.  Allocators that doesn't have
      any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags.
      
      Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.
