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.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges to the memcg that the current task belongs to. To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to __memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to, otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab subsystem use this function to charge slab pages. Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since __memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages. Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading /proc/kpagecgroup. Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any difference.

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is "kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration, sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an INDEX_NODE of 8. Commit 8fc9cf42 ("slab: make more slab management structure off the slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size) returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the following bug on arm64: kernel BUG at /work/Linux/linux-2.6-aarch64/mm/slab.c:2283!

Commit description is copied from the original post of this bug: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/135349 Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping. In kernels 3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size. However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG(). The mapping table in the latest kernel is like: index = {0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, n} size = {0, 96, 192, 8, 16, 32, 64, 2^n} The mapping table before 3.10 is like this: index = {0 , 1 , 2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, n} size = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)} The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows: (1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC && DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150", and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node)) (2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8. (3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size = PAGE_SIZE". (4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and "flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered. (5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to "cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result here may be NULL while kernel bootup. (6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem): This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in mapping table.

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047a ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb4 ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays. It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab bulk operations. Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations in which large numbers of objects are needed. These optimization may avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required. Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the bulk alloc and free functions. They can keep the generic allocation and freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like for example when debugging is on).

Commit c48a11c7 ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc(): if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping) skb->pfmemalloc = true; It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be trusted. However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping to NULL and leave page->index value alone. Due to being in union, a non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc. So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page. And it seems it can. We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf. There is no copying going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the server which has been dropped and thus never arrive. The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead. We can reuse the index again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL). This is the page index so it should never see the value that large. Replace all direct users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this nastiness from unspoiled eyes. The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is really needed (e.g. what SLAB and SLUB do).

This patch moves the initialization of the size_index table slightly earlier so that the first few kmem_cache_node's can be safely allocated when KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is large. There are currently two ways to generate indices into kmalloc_caches (via kmalloc_index() and via the size_index table in slab_common.c) and on some arches (possibly only MIPS) they potentially disagree with each other until create_kmalloc_caches() has been called. It seems that the intention is that the size_index table is a fast equivalent to kmalloc_index() and that create_kmalloc_caches() patches the table to return the correct value for the cases where kmalloc_index()'s if-statements apply. The failing sequence was: * kmalloc_caches contains NULL elements * kmem_cache_init initialises the element that 'struct kmem_cache_node' will be allocated to. For 32-bit Mips, this is a 56-byte struct and kmalloc_index returns KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW (7). * init_list is called which calls kmalloc_node to allocate a 'struct kmem_cache_node'. * kmalloc_slab selects the kmem_caches element using size_index[size_index_elem(size)]. For MIPS, size is 56, and the expression returns 6. * This element of kmalloc_caches is NULL and allocation fails. * If it had not already failed, it would have called create_kmalloc_caches() at this point which would have changed size_index[size_index_elem(size)] to 7. I don't believe the bug to be LLVM specific but GCC doesn't normally encounter the problem. I haven't been able to identify exactly what GCC is doing better (probably inlining) but it seems that GCC is managing to optimize to the point that it eliminates the problematic allocations. This theory is supported by the fact that GCC can be made to fail in the same way by changing inline, __inline, __inline__, and __always_inline in include/linux/compiler-gcc.h such that they don't actually inline things.

NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node partial lists instead of freeing them immediately. This prevents per memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed. To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1]. It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the cache belongs to was destroyed. It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0. The runtime overhead is minimal. From all the hot functions, we only touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline memory cgroup. Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead. We do have to disable preemption for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though. The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree. However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg core at that time. I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB does not keep free slabs on a separate list. Besides, we currently do not even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs. Overall, it would introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small patch. Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks per-cpu/node caches periodically. Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root kmem cache. Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for that, because it contains all existing memcg caches. However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing beyond any bounds then. I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to save space. To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list (GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes, which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully. To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as reported by /proc/slabinfo. To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to allocate an object from a kmem cache @c. The copy of @c corresponding to @memcg, @mc, is empty. Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache after it was destroyed: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- [ current=@t @mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ] kmem_cache_alloc(@c): call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c); proceed to allocation from @mc: alloc a page for @mc: ... move @t from @memcg destroy @memcg: mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg): memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg): kmem_cache_destroy(@mc) add page to @mc We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches, which would look cumbersome. Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though. Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path, but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

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.

The bounds check for nodeid in ____cache_alloc_node gives false positives on machines where the node IDs are not contiguous, leading to a panic at boot time. For example, on a POWER8 machine the node IDs are typically 0, 1, 16 and 17. This means that num_online_nodes() returns 4, so when ____cache_alloc_node is called with nodeid = 16 the VM_BUG_ON triggers, like this: kernel BUG at /home/paulus/kernel/kvm/mm/slab.c:3079! Call Trace: .____cache_alloc_node+0x5c/0x270 (unreliable) .kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xdc/0x360 .init_list+0x3c/0x128 .kmem_cache_init+0x1dc/0x258 .start_kernel+0x2a0/0x568 start_here_common+0x20/0xa8 To fix this, we instead compare the nodeid with MAX_NUMNODES, and additionally make sure it isn't negative (since nodeid is an int). The check is there mainly to protect the array dereference in the get_node() call in the next line, and the array being dereferenced is of size MAX_NUMNODES. If the nodeid is in range but invalid (for example if the node is off-line), the BUG_ON in the next line will catch that.

Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags. If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to do. Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d ("cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers think before using the function. However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these precautions are no longer necessary. So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

Commit bf0dea23 ("mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cache") changed the allocation method for cpu cache array from slab allocator to percpu allocator. Alignment should be provided for aligned memory in percpu allocator case, but, that commit mistakenly set this alignment to 0. So, percpu allocator returns unaligned memory address. It doesn't cause any problem on x86 which permits unaligned access, but, it causes the problem on sparc64 which needs strong guarantee of alignment. Following bug report is reported from David Miller. I'm getting tons of the following on sparc64: [603965.383447] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b58] free_block+0x98/0x1a0 [603965.396987] Kernel unaligned access at TPC[546b60] free_block+0xa0/0x1a0 ...

Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation through SLAB is impossible. On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg problem. So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more easily. In my testing there is no performance difference. This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation. Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches * 120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) * 80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB Signed-off-by: NJoonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Acked-by: NChristoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation. If new creating slab have similar size and property with exsitent slab, this feature reuse it rather than creating new one. As a result, objects are packed into fewer slabs so that fragmentation is reduced. Below is result of my testing. * After boot, sleep 20; cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab <Before> Slab: 25136 kB <After> Slab: 24364 kB We can save 3% memory used by slab. For supporting this feature in SLAB, we need to implement SLAB specific kmem_cache_flag() and __kmem_cache_alias(), because SLUB implements some SLUB specific processing related to debug flag and object size change on these functions.

Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled. If they are disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling __kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore, default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that it's okay to change this situation. After this change, we can turn on/off CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB without full kernel build and remove some complicated '#if' defintion. It looks more benefitial to me.

Now, there is no code to hold two lock simultaneously, since we don't call slab_destroy() with holding any lock. So, lockdep annotation is useless now. Remove it. v2: don't remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC in this patch. It will be removed in the following patch.

I haven't heard that this alien cache lock is contended, but to reduce chance of contention would be better generally. And with this change, we can simplify complex lockdep annotation in slab code. In the following patch, it will be implemented.

Now, we have separate alien_cache structure, so it'd be better to hold the lock on alien_cache while manipulating alien_cache. After that, we don't need the lock on array_cache, so remove it.
