2016-01-20mm: memcontrol: move kmem accounting code to CONFIG_MEMCGJohannes Weiner1-1/+1
The cgroup2 memory controller will account important in-kernel memory consumers per default. Move all necessary components to CONFIG_MEMCG.

2016-01-14slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flagVladimir Davydov1-0/+5
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).

2015-11-22slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk APIJesper Dangaard Brouer1-1/+1
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.

2015-11-20slab.h: sprinkle __assume_aligned attributesRasmus Villemoes1-17/+26
The various allocators return aligned memory. Telling the compiler that allows it to generate better code in many cases, for example when the return value is immediately passed to memset(). Some code does become larger, but at least we win twice as much as we lose: $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/vmlinux vmlinux add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 13/52 up/down: 995/-2140 (-1145) An example of the different (and smaller) code can be seen in mm_alloc(). Before: : 48 8d 78 08 lea 0x8(%rax),%rdi : 48 89 c1 mov %rax,%rcx : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : 48 c7 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,(%rax) : 48 c7 80 48 03 00 00 movq $0x0,0x348(%rax) : 00 00 00 00 : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 83 e7 f8 and $0xfffffffffffffff8,%rdi : 48 29 f9 sub %rdi,%rcx : 81 c1 50 03 00 00 add $0x350,%ecx : c1 e9 03 shr $0x3,%ecx : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) After: : 48 89 c2 mov %rax,%rdx : b9 6a 00 00 00 mov $0x6a,%ecx : 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax : 48 89 d7 mov %rdx,%rdi : f3 48 ab rep stos %rax,%es:(%rdi) So gcc's strategy is to do two possibly (but not really, of course) unaligned stores to the first and last word, then do an aligned rep stos covering the middle part with a little overlap. Maybe arches which do not allow unaligned stores gain even more. I don't know if gcc can actually make use of alignments greater than 8 for anything, so one could probably drop the __assume_xyz_alignment macros and just use __assume_aligned(8). The increases in code size are mostly caused by gcc deciding to opencode strlen() using the check-four-bytes-at-a-time trick when it knows the buffer is sufficiently aligned (one function grew by 200 bytes). Now it turns out that many of these strlen() calls showing up were in fact redundant, and they're gone from -next.

2015-09-04slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeingChristoph Lameter1-0/+10
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).

This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit 4066c33d0308f8 and also reverts the portions that introduced the KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.

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.

2015-02-13mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocatorAndrey Ryabinin1-2/+9
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.

2015-02-12slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a listVladimir Davydov1-0/+4
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 Davydov1-10/+7
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.

2015-02-10memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutexVladimir Davydov1-4/+2
mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to the given cgroup. Currently, it is only used on css free in order to destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed. The list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex. The mutex is also used to protect kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches. However, we can perfectly get on without these two. To destroy all caches corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex. This patch therefore gets rid of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex. Apart from this nice cleanup, it also: - assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set; - fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0, releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

2014-12-13memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_kmem_get_cache()Vladimir Davydov1-2/+0
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.

2014-12-10memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfoVladimir Davydov1-4/+0
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.

2014-06-04memcg, slab: simplify synchronization schemeVladimir Davydov1-4/+2
At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per memcg kmem caches: - slab_mutex. This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead. - activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists. The mutexes are taken in the following order: activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance: - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache. - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just don't bother about it. This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking order is following: activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per memcg slab caches list. Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children. The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

2014-06-04memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes awayVladimir Davydov1-2/+0
This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting. It targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization. First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2). Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline. That means the caches that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked. However, they are already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink is called explicitly. In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches on vmpressure or periodically. Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3). This greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache creation/destruction paths. I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows and eases further development. This patch (of 3): After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero). I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e. immediately after freeing the last object. However, it just doesn't work that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink. Of course, we could account the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule destruction if so, but that would be too costly. Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot. Moreover, it's racy in fact. For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free. So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after calling kmem_cache_shrink instead. This will simplify things a lot w/o introducing any functional changes. And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e. those that are left hanging around after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially. I'm going to implement this later.

2014-06-04mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCGVladimir Davydov1-10/+1
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.

2014-04-01slab: fix wrongly used macroJoonsoo Kim1-11/+11
commit 'slab: restrict the number of objects in a slab' uses __builtin_constant_p() on #if macro. It is wrong usage of builtin function, but it is compiled on x86 without any problem, so I can't find it before 0 day build system find it. This commit fixes the situation by using KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE, instead of KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW. KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW is parsed to ilog2() on some architecture and this ilog2() uses __builtin_constant_p() and results in the problem. This problem would disappear by using KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE, since it is just constant.

2014-03-10mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner1-1/+1
GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request without GFP_THISNODE set. However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim. Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation happen when memory is full.

2014-02-08slab: restrict the number of objects in a slabJoonsoo Kim1-0/+11
To prepare to implement byte sized index for managing the freelist of a slab, we should restrict the number of objects in a slab to be less or equal to 256, since byte only represent 256 different values. Setting the size of object to value equal or more than newly introduced SLAB_OBJ_MIN_SIZE ensures that the number of objects in a slab is less or equal to 256 for a slab with 1 page. If page size is rather larger than 4096, above assumption would be wrong. In this case, we would fall back on 2 bytes sized index. If minimum size of kmalloc is less than 16, we use it as minimum object size and give up this optimization.

2012-12-18slab: propagate tunable valuesGlauber Costa1-1/+1
SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. 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. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier.

We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.
