slab_break_gfp_order is more appropriately named slab_max_order since it
enforces the maximum order size of slabs as long as a single object will
still fit.

Also rename BREAK_GFP_ORDER_{LO,HI} accordingly.

Historically /proc/slabinfo and files under /sys/kernel/slab/* have
world read permissions and are accessible to the world.  slabinfo
contains rather private information related both to the kernel and
userspace tasks.  Depending on the situation, it might reveal either
private information per se or information useful to make another
targeted attack.  Some examples of what can be learned by
reading/watching for /proc/slabinfo entries:

1) dentry (and different *inode*) number might reveal other processes fs
activity.  The number of dentry "active objects" doesn't strictly show
file count opened/touched by a process, however, there is a good
correlation between them.  The patch "proc: force dcache drop on
unauthorized access" relies on the privacy of dentry count.

2) different inode entries might reveal the same information as (1), but
these are more fine granted counters.  If a filesystem is mounted in a
private mount point (or even a private namespace) and fs type differs from
other mounted fs types, fs activity in this mount point/namespace is
revealed.  If there is a single ecryptfs mount point, the whole fs
activity of a single user is revealed.  Number of files in ecryptfs
mount point is a private information per se.

3) fuse_* reveals number of files / fs activity of a user in a user
private mount point.  It is approx. the same severity as ecryptfs
infoleak in (2).

4) sysfs_dir_cache similar to (2) reveals devices' addition/removal,
which can be otherwise hidden by "chmod 0700 /sys/".  With 0444 slabinfo
the precise number of sysfs files is known to the world.

5) buffer_head might reveal some kernel activity.  With other
information leaks an attacker might identify what specific kernel
routines generate buffer_head activity.

6) *kmalloc* infoleaks are very situational.  Attacker should watch for
the specific kmalloc size entry and filter the noise related to the unrelated
kernel activity.  If an attacker has relatively silent victim system, he
might get rather precise counters.

Additional information sources might significantly increase the slabinfo
infoleak benefits.  E.g. if an attacker knows that the processes
activity on the system is very low (only core daemons like syslog and
cron), he may run setxid binaries / trigger local daemon activity /
trigger network services activity / await sporadic cron jobs activity
/ etc. and get rather precise counters for fs and network activity of
these privileged tasks, which is unknown otherwise.

Also hiding slabinfo and /sys/kernel/slab/* is a one step to complicate
exploitation of kernel heap overflows (and possibly, other bugs).  The
related discussion:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1108378

To keep compatibility with old permission model where non-root
monitoring daemon could watch for kernel memleaks though slabinfo one
should do:

    groupadd slabinfo
    usermod -a -G slabinfo $MONITOR_USER

And add the following commands to init scripts (to mountall.conf in
Ubuntu's upstart case):

    chmod g+r /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*
    chgrp slabinfo /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*

Lockdep thinks there's lock recursion through:

	kmem_cache_free()
	  cache_flusharray()
	    spin_lock(&l3->list_lock)  <----------------.
	    free_block()                                |
	      slab_destroy()                            |
		call_rcu()                              |

			kmem_cache_alloc()              |
			  cache_alloc_refill()          |
			    spin_lock(&l3->list_lock) --'

Now debug objects doesn't use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and hence there is no
actual possibility of recursing. Luckily debug objects marks it slab
with SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS so we can identify the thing.

Mark all SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS (all one!) slab caches with a special
lockdep key so that lockdep sees its a different cachep.

Also add a WARN on trying to create a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU |
SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS cache, to avoid possible future trouble.

Now that ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN defaults to __alignof__(unsigned long long),
it is always defined (when slab.h included), but cannot be used in #if:

Commit e66eed65 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a
single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the
correct per cpu instance.

However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read()
cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through
segment prefixes).  Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var
where the address of the variable is not used.

The tracepoint for kmalloc is in the slab inlined code which causes
every instance of kmalloc to have the tracepoint.

This patch moves the tracepoint out of the inline code to the
slab C file, which removes a large number of inlined trace
points.

This patch fixes alignment of slab objects in case CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is
active.
Before this spot in kmem_cache_create, we have this situation:
- align contains the required alignment of the object
- cachep->obj_offset is 0 or equals align in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
- size equals the size of the object, or object plus trailing redzone in case
  of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB

This spot tries to fill one page per object if the object is in certain size
limits, however setting obj_offset to PAGE_SIZE - size does break the object
alignment since size may not be aligned with the required alignment.
This patch simply adds an ALIGN(size, align) to the equation and fixes the
object size detection accordingly.

This code in drivers/s390/cio/qdio_setup_init has lead to incorrectly aligned
slab objects (sizeof(struct qdio_q) equals 1792):
	qdio_q_cache = kmem_cache_create("qdio_q", sizeof(struct qdio_q),
					 256, 0, NULL);

This patch turns this housekeeping timer into a deferable timer,
which means that the timer does not interrupt idle, but just runs
at the next event that wakes the cpu up.

The impact is that the timer likely runs a bit later, but during the
delay no code is running so there's not all that much reason for
a difference in housekeeping to occur because of this delay.

Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()":

The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes
well.  Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never
succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and
for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to
numa_node_id().  This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache
allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier
kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized].

This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return
the "effective local memory node" for the calling context.  This is the
first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node
that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use.  This lets slab cache
these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation.

N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could
change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent
changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this.  E.g., flush
all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the
"machine" is held in the stopped state.

Performance impact on "hackbench 400 process 200"

The slowdown of the patched kernel from ~12 sec to ~28 seconds when
configured with memoryless nodes is the result of all cpus allocating from
a single node's mm pagepool.  The cache lines of the single node are
distributed/interleaved over the memory of the real physical nodes, but
the zone lock, list heads, ...  of the single node with memory still each
live in a single cache line that is accessed from all processors.

We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where
memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system.  There are
numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in
cpuset_mem_spread_node().

For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate
pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ...  Odd nodes are skipped.  (Sometimes it
allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes).

An example is shown below.  The program "lfile" writes a file consisting
of 10 pages.  The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(...,
MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated.
The output is shown below:

	# ./lfile
	 allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2

There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab
pages.  Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page
(buffer_head).  This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page
allocated.

A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven
allocation:

	# echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab
	# ./lfile
	 allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5

This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

redzone and last user data around allocated memory space if "arch cache line >

MISSED while dumping slab corruption log.

This fix makes sure that redzone and last user tags get stored unless the

Slab lacks any memory hotplug support for nodes that are hotplugged
without cpus being hotplugged.  This is possible at least on x86
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE kernels where SRAT entries are marked
ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE and the regions of RAM represent a seperate
node.  It can also be done manually by writing the start address to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe for kernels that have
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE set, which is how this patch was tested, and
then onlining the new memory region.

When a node is hotadded, a nodelist for that node is allocated and
initialized for each slab cache.  If this isn't completed due to a lack
of memory, the hotadd is aborted: we have a reasonable expectation that
kmalloc_node(nid) will work for all caches if nid is online and memory is
available.

Since nodelists must be allocated and initialized prior to the new node's
memory actually being online, the struct kmem_list3 is allocated off-node
due to kmalloc_node()'s fallback.

When an entire node would be offlined, its nodelists are subsequently
drained.  If slab objects still exist and cannot be freed, the offline is
aborted.  It is possible that objects will be allocated between this
drain and page isolation, so it's still possible that the offline will
still fail, however.

In order to preserve default behavior cache filter is off by
default (all caches are faulty).

One may define specific set of slabs like this:
# mark skbuff_head_cache as faulty
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_head_cache/failslab
# Turn on cache filter (off by default)
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/cache-filter

When factoring common code into transfer_objects in commit 3ded175a ("slab: add
transfer_objects() function"), the 'touched' logic got a bit broken. When
refilling from the shared array (taking objects from the shared array), we are
making use of the shared array so it should be marked as touched.

Subsequently pulling an element from the cpu array and allocating it should
also touch the cpu array, but that is taken care of after the alloc_done label.
(So yes, the cpu array was getting touched = 1 twice).

So revert this logic to how it worked in earlier kernels.

This also affects the behaviour in __drain_alien_cache, which would previously
'touch' the shared array and now does not. I think it is more logical not to
touch there, because we are pushing objects into the shared array rather than
pulling them off. So there is no good reason to postpone reaping them -- if the
shared array is getting utilized, then it will get 'touched' in the alloc path
(where this patch now restores the touch).

Comparing with existing code, it's a simpler way to use kzalloc_node()
