2015-04-15mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usagesJason Low
We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/ tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types. This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new READ_ONCE API for the read accesses. This makes things cleaner, instead of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

2015-03-25mm/slub: fix lockups on PREEMPT && !SMP kernelsMark Rutland
Commit 9aabf810a67c ("mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off") introduced an occasional hang for kernels built with CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP. The problem is the following loop the patch introduced to slab_alloc_node and slab_free: do { tid = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->tid); c = raw_cpu_ptr(s->cpu_slab); } while (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && unlikely(tid != c->tid)); GCC 4.9 has been observed to hoist the load of c and c->tid above the loop for !SMP kernels (as in this case raw_cpu_ptr(x) is compile-time constant and does not force a reload). On arm64 the generated assembly looks like: ldr x4, [x0,#8] loop: ldr x1, [x0,#8] cmp x1, x4 b.ne loop If the thread is preempted between the load of c->tid (into x1) and tid (into x4), and an allocation or free occurs in another thread (bumping the cpu_slab's tid), the thread will be stuck in the loop until s->cpu_slab->tid wraps, which may be forever in the absence of allocations/frees on the same CPU. This patch changes the loop condition to access c->tid with READ_ONCE. This ensures that the value is reloaded even when the compiler would otherwise assume it could cache the value, and also ensures that the load will not be torn.

2015-02-13mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocatorAndrey Ryabinin
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.

2015-02-13mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable()Andrey Ryabinin
It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

2015-02-12slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediatelyVladimir Davydov
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.

2015-02-12slub: never fail to shrink cacheVladimir Davydov
SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

2015-02-12slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a listVladimir Davydov
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.

2015-02-12slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cacheVladimir Davydov
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.

2015-02-10mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/offJoonsoo Kim
We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same cpu. It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can move the process to other cpu during retrieving data. Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the fastpath. If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means that they are retrieved on the same cpu. If not matched, we just have to retry it. With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it. I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in CONFIG_PREEMPT.

2014-12-13slub: fix cpuset check in get_any_partialVladimir Davydov
If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see get_any_partial). While checking other nodes we respect cpuset constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed. We enforce hardwall check. As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set. However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations, so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case. Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

2014-12-13memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_kmem_get_cache()Vladimir Davydov
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.

2014-10-27cpuset: simplify cpuset_node_allowed APIVladimir Davydov
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 02a0e53d8227 ("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.

I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP, DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG. All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of them already have own Kconfig options. This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration. It simply has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a hook hidden under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else". Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n and all other debugging features disabled. The might_sleep_if() call can generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n.

2014-07-03slub: fix off by one in number of slab testsJoonsoo Kim
min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list. So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node partial list rather than freeing it. But if nr_partial is equal or greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should free newly empty slab. Current implementation missed the equal case so if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached. This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't works properly if some slabs is cached. This patch fixes this problem.

Currently, if allocation constraint to node is NUMA_NO_NODE, we search a partial slab on numa_node_id() node. This doesn't work properly on a system having memoryless nodes, since it can have no memory on that node so there must be no partial slab on that node. On that node, page allocation always falls back to numa_mem_id() first. So searching a partial slab on numa_node_id() in that case is the proper solution for the memoryless node case.

2014-06-04slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}Vladimir Davydov
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 ---- ---- kmem_cache_create: online_pages: __kmem_cache_create: slab_memory_callback: slab_mem_going_online_callback: 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.

2014-06-04mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_memsVladimir Davydov
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem hotplug. To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use {get,put}_online_cpus. However, they do nothing to synchronize with memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the possibility of race as described in patch 2. What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory. We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex. As a result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus. That's why in patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug. [ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68. I NAK'ed it by myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems, making them dead lock prune. ] This patch (of 2): {un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes mask won't be able to proceed concurrently. Also, it imposes some strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its usage scenarios. This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e. executing a code inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of online nodes, present pages, etc. lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

2014-06-04mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCGVladimir Davydov
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.

2014-06-04sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitlyVladimir Davydov
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.

2014-06-04mm: slub: fix ALLOC_SLOWPATH statDave Hansen
There used to be only one path out of __slab_alloc(), and ALLOC_SLOWPATH got bumped in that exit path. Now there are two, and a bunch of gotos. ALLOC_SLOWPATH can now get set more than once during a single call to __slab_alloc() which is pretty bogus. Here's the sequence: 1. Enter __slab_alloc(), fall through all the way to the stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH); 2. hit 'if (!freelist)', and bump DEACTIVATE_BYPASS, jump to new_slab (goto #1) 3. Hit 'if (c->partial)', bump CPU_PARTIAL_ALLOC, goto redo (goto #2) 4. Fall through in the same path we did before all the way to stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) 5. bump ALLOC_REFILL stat, then return Doing this is obviously bogus. It keeps us from being able to accurately compare ALLOC_SLOWPATH vs. ALLOC_FASTPATH. It also means that the total number of allocs always exceeds the total number of frees. This patch moves stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) to be called from the same place that __slab_alloc() is. This makes it much less likely that ALLOC_SLOWPATH will get botched again in the spaghetti-code inside __slab_alloc().

2014-06-04mm, slab: suppress out of memory warning unless debug is enabledDavid Rientjes
When the slab or slub allocators cannot allocate additional slab pages, they emit diagnostic information to the kernel log such as current number of slabs, number of objects, active objects, etc. This is always coupled with a page allocation failure warning since it is controlled by !__GFP_NOWARN. Suppress this out of memory warning if the allocator is configured without debug supported. The page allocation failure warning will indicate it is a failed slab allocation, the order, and the gfp mask, so this is only useful to diagnose allocator issues. Since CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is already enabled by default for the slub allocator, there is no functional change with this patch. If debug is disabled, however, the warnings are now suppressed.

2014-05-06slub: fix memcg_propagate_slab_attrsVladimir Davydov
After creating a cache for a memcg we should initialize its sysfs attrs with the values from its parent. That's what memcg_propagate_slab_attrs is for. Currently it's broken - we clearly muddled root-vs-memcg caches there. Let's fix it up.

2014-04-07slub: use raw_cpu_inc for incrementing statisticsChristoph Lameter
Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but should also not cause too much overhead. When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this triggers. Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks. Using this_cpu_ops may cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may significantly impact allocator performance.

The failure paths of sysfs_slab_add don't release the allocation of 'name' made by create_unique_id() a few lines above the context of the diff below. Create a common exit path to make it more obvious what needs freeing.
