2016-03-15mm/slub: support left redzoneJoonsoo Kim1-0/+1
SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature. But it is only positioned at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob. Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect. This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left oob more precisely. Background: Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is enabled which does page allocation debugging. That page is out of our control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this case, we can't find OOB. Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss that OOB. Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now. Almost changes are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

2015-02-12slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cacheVladimir Davydov1-1/+1
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.

2014-04-07slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg cachesVladimir Davydov1-0/+3
Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same manner as for global caches. Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg cache in case its parent is merged with another cache. For instance, if A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the following sysfs setup: X A -> X B -> X where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()). Now if memcgs M and N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get: X X:M X:N A -> X B -> X A:M -> X:M A:N -> X:N Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is confusing. It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the corresponding root cache's sysfs directory. This would allow us to keep sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described above. This patch does the trick. It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available 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.

2012-12-18slub: slub-specific propagation changesGlauber Costa1-0/+1
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active.

2012-06-14mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter1-1/+1
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

2011-08-19slub: per cpu cache for partial pagesChristoph Lameter1-0/+4
Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLOB: As notes sometimes we need double word alignment on 32 bit. This gives all structures allocated by SLOB a unsigned long long alignment like the others do. SLAB: If ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is not set SLAB would set ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN to zero meaning no alignment at all. Give it the default unsigned long long alignment.

2011-03-11slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slabLai Jiangshan1-0/+1
There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page. But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need to add some metadata for slab. So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved at the end of the slab for slab's metadata. Changed from v1: Export the reserved field via sysfs Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
2011-03-11Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slubChristoph Lameter1-1/+4
Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

2010-11-06slub tracing: move trace calls out of always inlined functions to reduce ↵Richard Kennedy1-29/+26
kernel code size Having the trace calls defined in the always inlined kmalloc functions in include/linux/slub_def.h causes a lot of code duplication as the trace functions get instantiated for each kamalloc call site. This can simply be removed by pushing the trace calls down into the functions in slub.c. On my x86_64 built this patch shrinks the code size of the kernel by approx 36K and also shrinks the code size of many modules -- too many to list here ;) size vmlinux (2.6.36) reports text data bss dec hex filename 5410611 743172 828928 6982711 6a8c37 vmlinux 5373738 744244 828928 6946910 6a005e vmlinux + patch The resulting kernel has had some testing & kmalloc trace still seems to work. This patch - moves trace_kmalloc out of the inlined kmalloc() and pushes it down into kmem_cache_alloc_trace() so this it only get instantiated once. - rename kmem_cache_alloc_notrace() to kmem_cache_alloc_trace() to indicate that now is does have tracing. (maybe this would better being called something like kmalloc_kmem_cache ?) - adds a new function kmalloc_order() to handle allocation and tracing of large allocations of page order. - removes tracing from the inlined kmalloc_large() replacing them with a call to kmalloc_order(); - move tracing out of inlined kmalloc_node() and pushing it down into kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace - rename kmem_cache_alloc_node_notrace() to kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace() - removes the include of trace/events/kmem.h from slub_def.h. v2 - keep kmalloc_order_trace inline when !CONFIG_TRACE Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

2010-10-02slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocationsChristoph Lameter1-5/+2
kmalloc caches are statically defined and may take up a lot of space just because the sizes of the node array has to be dimensioned for the largest node count supported. This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by creating a kmem_cache slab cache for the kmem_cache objects. The bootstrap occurs by allocating the initial one or two kmem_cache objects from the page allocator. C2->C3 - Fix various issues indicated by David - Make create kmalloc_cache return a kmem_cache * pointer.

2010-08-11dma-mapping: rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGNFUJITA Tomonori1-3/+5
Now each architecture has the own dma_get_cache_alignment implementation. dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures define it as ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (it's used to make sure that malloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe; the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others). So we can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations. This patch: dma_get_cache_alignment() needs to know if an architecture defines ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN or not (needs to know if architecture has DMA alignment restriction). However, slab.h define ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN if architectures doesn't define it. Let's rename ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN. ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is used only in the internals of slab/slob/slub (except for crypto).
