      memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfo · b047501c
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Let's use generic slab_start/next/stop for showing memcg caches info.  In
      contrast to the current implementation, this will work even if all memcg
      caches' info doesn't fit into a seq buffer (a page), plus it simply looks
      neater.
      
      Actually, the main reason I do this isn't mere cleanup.  I'm going to zap
      the memcg_slab_caches list, because I find it useless provided we have the
      slab_caches list, and this patch is a step in this direction.
      
      It should be noted that before this patch an attempt to read
      memory.kmem.slabinfo of a cgroup that doesn't have kmem limit set resulted
      in -EIO, while after this patch it will silently show nothing except the
      header, but I don't think it will frustrate anyone.

      mm/slab: reverse iteration on find_mergeable() · 54362057
      Joonsoo Kim 提交于
      Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab
      in the SLAB.  This causes the unalignment problem when after slab merging
      is supported by commit 12220dea ("mm/slab: support slab merge").
      Alignment mismatch check is introduced ("mm/slab: fix unalignment problem
      on Malta with EVA due to slab merge") to prevent merge in this case.
      
      This causes undesirable result that merging happens between infrequently
      used kmem_caches if there are kmem_caches with same size and is 256 bytes,
      are merged into pool_workqueue rather than kmalloc-256, because
      kmem_caches for kmalloc are at the tail of the list.
      
      To prevent this situation, this patch reverses iteration order in
      find_mergeable() to find frequently used kmem_caches.  This change helps
      to merge kmem_cache to frequently used kmem_caches, such as kmalloc
      kmem_caches.

      slab: print slabinfo header in seq show · 1df3b26f
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently we print the slabinfo header in the seq start method, which
      makes it unusable for showing leaks, so we have leaks_show, which does
      practically the same as s_show except it doesn't show the header.
      
      However, we can print the header in the seq show method - we only need
      to check if the current element is the first on the list.  This will
      allow us to use the same set of seq iterators for both leaks and
      slabinfo reporting, which is nice.

      alloc_unbound_pwq() allocates slab object from pool_workqueue.  This
      kmem_cache requires 256 bytes alignment, but, current merging code
      doesn't honor that, and merge it with kmalloc-256.  kmalloc-256 requires
      only cacheline size alignment so that above failure occurs.  However, in
      x86, kmalloc-256 is luckily aligned in 256 bytes, so the problem didn't
      happen on it.
      
      To fix this problem, this patch introduces alignment mismatch check in
      find_mergeable().  This will fix the problem.

      mm/slab_common: don't check for duplicate cache names · 8aba7e0a
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there
      was long standing bug with this behavior:
      
       - create the cache named "foo"
       - create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo")
       - delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar"
         uses it)
       - create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo"
         is already used
      
      That bug was fixed in commit 69461747 ("slab_common: fix the check
      for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when
      the SLUB subsystem is used.
      
      Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in
      12220dea ("mm/slab: support slab merge")).  Therefore we need stop
      checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

      memcg: move memcg_update_cache_size() to slab_common.c · 6f817f4c
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      `While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
      slab_common.c in a weird way:
      
        memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
          memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
            memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c
      
      There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
      slab's side though.  So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
      per-memcg cache allocation functions.
      
      Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
      useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
      conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
      slab_common.c.

      memcg: move memcg_{alloc,free}_cache_params to slab_common.c · 33a690c4
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
      reference to the owner memory cgroup in them.  However, we can do that in
      memcg_{un,}register_cache.  OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
      to slab_common.c.
      
      First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
      memcontrol.h the better.  Since the functions I move don't depend on
      memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
      taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.
      
      Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
      proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
      (memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
      (memcg_update_array_size).  In the following patches I move the function
      relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
      therefore get rid this circular call path.  I think we should have the
      cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
      it's easier to follow the code then.  So I move arrays alloc/free
      functions to slab_common.c too.
      
      The third point isn't obvious.  I'm going to make the list_lru structure
      per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim.  That means we will have
      per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too.  It turns out that it's much easier to
      update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
      the stuff we need is defined there.  This patch makes memcg caches arrays
      allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.
      
      So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

      We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we

      this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
      be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
      it.  Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
      internal header.
      
      After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
      kernel build.  For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
      full kernel build.

      slab: delete cache from list after __kmem_cache_shutdown succeeds · 0bd62b11
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
      before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
      Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
      __kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
      41a21285 ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
      remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
      slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
      release the lock.  Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
      list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

      memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme · bd673145
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
      memcg kmem caches:
      
       - slab_mutex.  This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
         and destruction paths.  We also take it when updating per root cache
         memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches).  As a result, taking
         it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
         memcg).  Why do we need something else then?  The point is it is
         private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
         other mutexes (get_online_cpus).  So we just don't want to rely upon it
         and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.
      
       - activate_kmem_mutex.  Initially it was added to synchronize
         initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem).  However, since we can
         grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
         initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
         protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g.  see
         __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).
      
       - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
         want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g.  for
         destroying all memcg caches on offline).  So we have per memcg
         slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.
      
      The mutexes are taken in the following order:
      
         activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex
      
      Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:
      
       - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
         memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order.  As a result, in
         mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
         memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.
      
       - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
         between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
         destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).  Currently we just
         don't bother about it.
      
      This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
      with the global memcg_slab_mutex.  It will be held whenever a new per
      memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
      memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists.  The locking
      order is following:
      
         activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex
      
      This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
      memcg_slab_mutex.  As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
      work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
      memcg slab caches list.
      
      Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
      per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g.  mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
      vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.
      
      The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
      with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
      slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
      shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

      slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} · 03afc0e2
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
      for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
      register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
      corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.
      
      To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
      the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
      kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
      because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
      kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
      instance, in case of slub:
      
          CPU0                            CPU1
          ----                            ----

                                             lock slab_mutex
                                             for each slab_caches list entry
                                                 allocate kmem_cache node
                                             unlock slab_mutex
            lock slab_mutex
            init_kmem_cache_nodes:
             for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
                 allocate kmem_cache node
            add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
            unlock slab_mutex
                                          online_pages (continued):
                                           node_states_set_node
      
      As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
      allocated.
      
      To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
      the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
      deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.
      
      Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
      for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

      mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG · 52383431
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
      threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
      allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
      looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
      allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
      alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.
      
      The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
      should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
      has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
      They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
      allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
      counter of the current memory cgroup.

      sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitly · 5dfb4175
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
      instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
      __GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there.  All kmem
      charges will be easier to follow that way.
      
      This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG.  It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
      from memcg caches' allocflags.  Instead it makes slab allocation path
      call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
      memcg params.
      
      This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
      going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
      charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to.  That's why this
      patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

      slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names · 69461747
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      The patch 3e374919 is supposed to fix the
      problem where kmem_cache_create incorrectly reports duplicate cache name
      and fails. The problem is described in the header of that patch.
      
      However, the patch doesn't really fix the problem because of these
      reasons:
      
      * the logic to test for debugging is reversed. It was intended to perform
        the check only if slub debugging is enabled (which implies that caches
        with the same parameters are not merged). Therefore, there should be
        #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
        The current code has the condition reversed and performs the test if
        debugging is disabled.
      
      * slub debugging may be enabled or disabled based on kernel command line,
        CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is just the default settings. Therefore the test
        based on definition of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is unreliable.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by removing the test
      "!defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)". Therefore, duplicate names are never
      checked if the SLUB allocator is used.
      
      Note to stable kernel maintainers: when backporint this patch, please
      backport also the patch 3e374919.

      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:

      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.

      - 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.

      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.

      The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so

      As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for

      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.
