* memcg: get rid of memcg_create_cache_nameVladimir Davydov2014-06-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of calling back to memcontrol.c from kmem_cache_create_memcg in order to just create the name of a per memcg cache, let's allocate it in place. We only need to pass the memcg name to kmem_cache_create_memcg for that - everything else can be done in slab_common.c.

* memcg, slab: simplify synchronization schemeVladimir Davydov2014-06-041-4/+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.

* memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes awayVladimir Davydov2014-06-041-2/+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.

* mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCGVladimir Davydov2014-06-041-10/+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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| * slab: restrict the number of objects in a slabJoonsoo Kim2014-02-081-0/+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.

* | mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarifyJohannes Weiner2014-03-101-1/+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.

* slab: propagate tunable valuesGlauber Costa2012-12-181-1/+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 need this to be already set - which memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create() Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: JoonSoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When the slub allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and even then you'll be missing some. For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code using that to do the test. Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

* | kmemcheck: add mm functionsVegard Nossum2009-06-151-0/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With kmemcheck enabled, the slab allocator needs to do this: 1. Tell kmemcheck to allocate the shadow memory which stores the status of each byte in the allocation proper, e.g. whether it is initialized or uninitialized. 2. Tell kmemcheck which parts of memory that should be marked uninitialized. There are actually a few more states, such as "not yet allocated" and "recently freed". If a slab cache is set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, it will never return memory that can take page faults because of kmemcheck. If a slab cache is NOT set up using the SLAB_NOTRACK flag, callers can still request memory with the __GFP_NOTRACK flag. This does not prevent the page faults from occuring, however, but marks the object in question as being initialized so that no warnings will ever be produced for this object. In addition to (and in contrast to) __GFP_NOTRACK, the __GFP_NOTRACK_FALSE_POSITIVE flag indicates that the allocation should not be tracked _because_ it would produce a false positive. Their values are identical, but need not be so in the future (for example, we could now enable/disable false positives with a config option). Parts of this patch were contributed by Pekka Enberg but merged for atomicity.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kzfree() is a wrapper for kfree() that additionally zeroes the underlying memory before releasing it to the slab allocator. Currently there is code which memset()s the memory region of an object before releasing it back to the slab allocator to make sure security-sensitive data are really zeroed out after use. These callsites can then just use kzfree() which saves some code, makes users greppable and allows for a stupid destructor that isn't necessarily aware of the actual object size.
