      slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag · 230e9fc2
      由 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
      由 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.

      slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeing · 484748f0
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      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).

      slab: correct size_index table before replacing the bootstrap kmem_cache_node · 34cc6990
      由 Daniel Sanders 提交于 
      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.

      mm/slab_common: support the slub_debug boot option on specific object size · 4066c33d
      由 Gavin Guo 提交于 
      The slub_debug=PU,kmalloc-xx cannot work because in the
create_kmalloc_caches() the s->name is created after the
create_kmalloc_cache() is called.  The name is NULL in the
create_kmalloc_cache() so the kmem_cache_flags() would not set the
slub_debug flags to the s->flags.  The fix here set up a kmalloc_names
string array for the initialization purpose and delete the dynamic name
creation of kmalloc_caches.

      mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocator · 0316bec2
      由 Andrey Ryabinin 提交于 
      With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by
slub.  Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as
redzone.  Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by
caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object
(including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible).

We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object.
There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire
size of really allocated area.  Such callers could validly access whole
allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible.

Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's
metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

      slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately · d6e0b7fa
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      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.

However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline,
because it is not wise to keep it for so long, wasting valuable entries of
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches arrays.  Therefore, to preserve cache
name uniqueness, let us switch to css->id.

      slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache · f7ce3190
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it.  The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled.  However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:

* Initially:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct list_head list;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
			bool dead;
			atomic_t nr_pages;
			struct work_struct destroy;
		};
	};
};

* Now:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct {
			struct rcu_head rcu_head;
			struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		};
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
		};
	};
};

So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.

OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch.  That said, let
us embed it.

      memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocation · 05257a1a
      由 Vladimir Davydov 提交于 
      We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create()
(memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only
hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks.  As a result, we have to
update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take
on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size).  This looks awkward
and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which
also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids.

To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the
slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem.  The rwsem is held
for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids
updates.  Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access
to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids.

Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from
kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now
there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex.  However, once
list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to
proceed concurrently.

      memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfo · b047501c
      由 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
      由 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
      由 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.

      mm/slab: fix unalignment problem on Malta with EVA due to slab merge · 95069ac8
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the
slab in SLAB.  This causes the unalignment problem after slab merging is
supported by commit 12220dea ("mm/slab: support slab merge").

Following is the report from Markos that fail to boot on Malta with EVA.

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
      由 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
      由 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
      由 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.

      Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation.  Now, it is only
applied to SLUB, but, it would be good to apply it to SLAB.  This patch is
preparation step to apply slab merge to SLAB by commonizing slab merge

      mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header · 07f361b2
      由 Joonsoo Kim 提交于 
      We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size().  According to my code inspection,
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.
