2010-08-09slab: fix object alignmentCarsten Otte
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); Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

2010-07-20slab: use deferable timers for its periodic housekeepingArjan van de Ven
slab has a "once every 2 second" timer for its housekeeping. As the number of logical processors is growing, its more and more common that this 2 second timer becomes the primary wakeup source. 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.

2010-05-27numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory nodeLee Schermerhorn
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.

2010-05-27cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocationsJack Steiner
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.

2010-05-25cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's memsMiao Xie
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.

2010-04-07slab: add memory hotplug supportDavid Rientjes
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.

2010-01-30slab: fix regression in touched logicNick Piggin
When factoring common code into transfer_objects in commit 3ded175 ("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).

My first thought was to send a patch that gave each array_cache structure's ->lock field its own struct lock_class_key, but you already have a init_lock_keys() that seems to be intended to deal with this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================= [ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ] 2.6.32-rc4-autokern1 #1 --------------------------------------------- syslogd/2908 is trying to acquire lock: (&nc->lock){..-...}, at: [<c0000000001407f4>] .kmem_cache_free+0x118/0x2d4 but task is already holding lock: (&nc->lock){..-...}, at: [<c0000000001411bc>] .kfree+0x1f0/0x324 other info that might help us debug this: 3 locks held by syslogd/2908: #0: (&u->readlock){+.+.+.}, at: [<c0000000004556f8>] .unix_dgram_recvmsg+0x70/0x338 #1: (&nc->lock){..-...}, at: [<c0000000001411bc>] .kfree+0x1f0/0x324 #2: (&parent->list_lock){-.-...}, at: [<c000000000140f64>] .__drain_alien_cache+0x50/0xb8 stack backtrace: Call Trace: [c0000000e8ccafc0] [c0000000000101e4] .show_stack+0x70/0x184 (unreliable) [c0000000e8ccb070] [c0000000000afebc] .validate_chain+0x6ec/0xf58 [c0000000e8ccb180] [c0000000000b0ff0] .__lock_acquire+0x8c8/0x974 [c0000000e8ccb280] [c0000000000b2290] .lock_acquire+0x140/0x18c [c0000000e8ccb350] [c000000000468df0] ._spin_lock+0x48/0x70 [c0000000e8ccb3e0] [c0000000001407f4] .kmem_cache_free+0x118/0x2d4 [c0000000e8ccb4a0] [c000000000140b90] .free_block+0x130/0x1a8 [c0000000e8ccb540] [c000000000140f94] .__drain_alien_cache+0x80/0xb8 [c0000000e8ccb5e0] [c0000000001411e0] .kfree+0x214/0x324 [c0000000e8ccb6a0] [c0000000003ca860] .skb_release_data+0xe8/0x104 [c0000000e8ccb730] [c0000000003ca2ec] .__kfree_skb+0x20/0xd4 [c0000000e8ccb7b0] [c0000000003cf2c8] .skb_free_datagram+0x1c/0x5c [c0000000e8ccb830] [c00000000045597c] .unix_dgram_recvmsg+0x2f4/0x338 [c0000000e8ccb920] [c0000000003c0f14] .sock_recvmsg+0xf4/0x13c [c0000000e8ccbb30] [c0000000003c28ec] .SyS_recvfrom+0xb4/0x130 [c0000000e8ccbcb0] [c0000000003bfb78] .sys_recv+0x18/0x2c [c0000000e8ccbd20] [c0000000003ed388] .compat_sys_recv+0x14/0x28 [c0000000e8ccbd90] [c0000000003ee1bc] .compat_sys_socketcall+0x178/0x220 [c0000000e8ccbe30] [c0000000000085d4] syscall_exit+0x0/0x40 This patch fixes the issue by setting up lockdep annotations during CPU hotplug.

This patch updates percpu related symbols under kernel/ and mm/ such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.

With the slab allocator, if off-slab management is enabled for the kmem_caches used by kmemleak, it leads to recursive calls into kmemleak_alloc(). Off-slab management can be triggered by other config options increasing the slab size, e.g. DEBUG_PAGEALLOC.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-06-16page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is ↵Mel Gorman
valid Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.
