2016-12-12mm, slab: maintain total slab count instead of active countDavid Rientjes
Rather than tracking the number of active slabs for each node, track the total number of slabs. This is a minor improvement that avoids active slab tracking when a slab goes from free to partial or partial to free. For slab debugging, this also removes an explicit free count since it can easily be inferred by the difference in number of total objects and number of active objects.

2016-12-12mm, slab: faster active and free statsGreg Thelen
Reading /proc/slabinfo or monitoring slabtop(1) can become very expensive if there are many slab caches and if there are very lengthy per-node partial and/or free lists. Commit 07a63c41fa1f ("mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo stats") addressed the per-node full lists which showed a significant improvement when no objects were freed. This patch has the same motivation and optimizes the remainder of the usecases where there are very lengthy partial and free lists. This patch maintains per-node active_slabs (full and partial) and free_slabs rather than iterating the lists at runtime when reading /proc/slabinfo. When allocating 100GB of slab from a test cache where every slab page is on the partial list, reading /proc/slabinfo (includes all other slab caches on the system) takes ~247ms on average with 48 samples. As a result of this patch, the same read takes ~0.856ms on average.

2016-12-12mm/slab_common.c: check kmem_create_cache flags are commonThomas Garnier
Verify that kmem_create_cache flags are not allocator specific. It is done before removing flags that are not available with the current configuration. The current kmem_cache_create removes incorrect flags but do not validate the callers are using them right. This change will ensure that callers are not trying to create caches with flags that won't be used because allocator specific.

2016-12-12slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrinkVladimir Davydov
synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works doing cache creation/destruction. Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab cache list.

2016-10-27mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo statsAruna Ramakrishna
On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds. During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists (slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband). This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance improved from 2s to 5ms.

2016-07-26mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomizationThomas Garnier
The kernel heap allocators are using a sequential freelist making their allocation predictable. This predictability makes kernel heap overflow easier to exploit. An attacker can careful prepare the kernel heap to control the following chunk overflowed. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) ***Problems that needed solving: - Randomize the Freelist (singled linked) used in the SLUB allocator. - Ensure good performance to encourage usage. - Get best entropy in early boot stage. ***Parts: - 01/02 Reorganize the SLAB Freelist randomization to share elements with the SLUB implementation. - 02/02 The SLUB Freelist randomization implementation. Similar approach than the SLAB but tailored to the singled freelist used in SLUB. ***Performance data: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

2016-05-20mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementationAlexander Potapenko
Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated. When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens, it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it retains the allocation/deallocation stacks). When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning. Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place. Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical memory). As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect incorrect accesses to it. Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later. This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

2016-01-14slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flagVladimir Davydov
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.

2015-11-22slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk APIJesper Dangaard Brouer
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.

2015-11-05memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages chargingVladimir Davydov
We have memcg_kmem_charge and memcg_kmem_uncharge methods for charging and uncharging kmem pages to memcg, but currently they are not used for charging slab pages (i.e. they are only used for charging pages allocated with alloc_kmem_pages). The only reason why the slab subsystem uses special helpers, memcg_charge_slab and memcg_uncharge_slab, is that it needs to charge to the memcg of kmem cache while memcg_charge_kmem charges to the memcg that the current task belongs to. To remove this diversity, this patch adds an extra argument to __memcg_kmem_charge that can be a pointer to a memcg or NULL. If it is not NULL, the function tries to charge to the memcg it points to, otherwise it charge to the current context. Next, it makes the slab subsystem use this function to charge slab pages. Since memcg_charge_kmem and memcg_uncharge_kmem helpers are now used only in __memcg_kmem_charge and __memcg_kmem_uncharge, they are inlined. Since __memcg_kmem_charge stores a pointer to the memcg in the page struct, we don't need memcg_uncharge_slab anymore and can use free_kmem_pages. Besides, one can now detect which memcg a slab page belongs to by reading /proc/kpagecgroup. Note, this patch switches slab to charge-after-alloc design. Since this design is already used for all other memcg charges, it should not make any difference.

2015-11-05mm/slab_common.c: clear pointers to per memcg caches on destroyVladimir Davydov
Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with kmem_cache_destroy. This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy is called (due to a memory leak). If this happens, the entries in the array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging).

2015-09-04slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeingChristoph Lameter
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).

2015-06-24slab: correct size_index table before replacing the bootstrap kmem_cache_nodeDaniel Sanders
This patch moves the initialization of the size_index table slightly earlier so that the first few kmem_cache_node's can be safely allocated when KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is large. There are currently two ways to generate indices into kmalloc_caches (via kmalloc_index() and via the size_index table in slab_common.c) and on some arches (possibly only MIPS) they potentially disagree with each other until create_kmalloc_caches() has been called. It seems that the intention is that the size_index table is a fast equivalent to kmalloc_index() and that create_kmalloc_caches() patches the table to return the correct value for the cases where kmalloc_index()'s if-statements apply. The failing sequence was: * kmalloc_caches contains NULL elements * kmem_cache_init initialises the element that 'struct kmem_cache_node' will be allocated to. For 32-bit Mips, this is a 56-byte struct and kmalloc_index returns KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW (7). * init_list is called which calls kmalloc_node to allocate a 'struct kmem_cache_node'. * kmalloc_slab selects the kmem_caches element using size_index[size_index_elem(size)]. For MIPS, size is 56, and the expression returns 6. * This element of kmalloc_caches is NULL and allocation fails. * If it had not already failed, it would have called create_kmalloc_caches() at this point which would have changed size_index[size_index_elem(size)] to 7. I don't believe the bug to be LLVM specific but GCC doesn't normally encounter the problem. I haven't been able to identify exactly what GCC is doing better (probably inlining) but it seems that GCC is managing to optimize to the point that it eliminates the problematic allocations. This theory is supported by the fact that GCC can be made to fail in the same way by changing inline, __inline, __inline__, and __always_inline in include/linux/compiler-gcc.h such that they don't actually inline things.

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.

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.

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.

2014-10-09mm/slab: use percpu allocator for cpu cacheJoonsoo Kim
Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation through SLAB is impossible. On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg problem. So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more easily. In my testing there is no performance difference. This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation. Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches * 120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) * 80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Jeremiah Mahler <jmmahler@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2014-06-04memcg, slab: do not schedule cache destruction when last page goes awayVladimir Davydov
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.

2014-06-04slab: 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.

2014-06-04sl[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.

2014-04-07memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg cachesVladimir Davydov
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from the new cache, i.e. has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc. If there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply increment the refcount of the cache found and return it. Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but also for memcg caches. However, there is no point in that, because, as every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing "slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg caches should be merged already, i.e. it must be the same root cache, and therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it already exists. The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be merged by setting their refcount to -1. There are currently only two of them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately after creation). Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I guess we should avoid to merge their children too. So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

2014-01-23memcg, slab: RCU protect memcg_params for root cachesVladimir Davydov
We relocate root cache's memcg_params whenever we need to grow the memcg_caches array to accommodate all kmem-active memory cgroups. Currently on relocation we free the old version immediately, which can lead to use-after-free, because the memcg_caches array is accessed lock-free (see cache_from_memcg_idx()). This patch fixes this by making memcg_params RCU-protected for root caches.

2014-01-23memcg, slab: fix barrier usage when accessing memcg_cachesVladimir Davydov
Each root kmem_cache has pointers to per-memcg caches stored in its memcg_params::memcg_caches array. Whenever we want to allocate a slab for a memcg, we access this array to get per-memcg cache to allocate from (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()). The access must be lock-free for performance reasons, so we should use barriers to assert the kmem_cache is up-to-date. First, we should place a write barrier immediately before setting the pointer to it in the memcg_caches array in order to make sure nobody will see a partially initialized object. Second, we should issue a read barrier before dereferencing the pointer to conform to the write barrier. However, currently the barrier usage looks rather strange. We have a write barrier *after* setting the pointer and a read barrier *before* reading the pointer, which is incorrect. This patch fixes this.

2013-08-28memcg: check that kmem_cache has memcg_params before accessing itAndrey Vagin
If the system had a few memory groups and all of them were destroyed, memcg_limited_groups_array_size has non-zero value, but all new caches are created without memcg_params, because memcg_kmem_enabled() returns false. We try to enumirate child caches in a few places and all of them are potentially dangerous. For example my kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SLAB and it crashed when I tryed to mount a NFS share after a few experiments with kmemcg.
