2013-05-08mm/slab: Fix crash during slab initChris Mason
Commit 8a965b3baa89 ("mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc caches") introduced a regression that caused us to crash early during boot. The commit was introducing ordering of slab creation, making sure two odd-sized slabs were created after specific powers of two sizes. But, if any of the power of two slabs were created earlier during boot, slabs at index 1 or 2 might not get created at all. This patch makes sure none of the slabs get skipped. Tony Lindgren bisected this down to the offending commit, which really helped because bisect kept bringing me to almost but not quite this one.

2013-05-06mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc cachesChristoph Lameter
For SLAB the kmalloc caches must be created in ascending sizes in order for the OFF_SLAB sub-slab cache to work properly. Create the non power of two caches immediately after the prior power of two kmalloc cache. Do not create the non power of two caches before all other caches.

2013-05-06slab: Return NULL for oversized allocationsChristoph Lameter
The inline path seems to have changed the SLAB behavior for very large kmalloc allocations with commit e3366016 ("slab: Use common kmalloc_index/kmalloc_size functions"). This patch restores the old behavior but also adds diagnostics so that we can figure where in the code these large allocations occur.

2013-02-06mm/sl[au]b: correct allocation type check in kmalloc_slab()Joonsoo Kim
commit "slab: Common Kmalloc cache determination" made mistake in kmalloc_slab(). SLAB_CACHE_DMA is for kmem_cache creation, not for allocation. For allocation, we should use GFP_XXX to identify type of allocation. So, change SLAB_CACHE_DMA to GFP_DMA.

2012-12-18slab: propagate tunable valuesGlauber Costa
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>
2012-12-18memcg: aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfoGlauber Costa
When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage information somewhere. We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo, with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information stored in the group itself. For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache.

2012-12-18memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appearsGlauber Costa
Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original" caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system. Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently in the 64k pointers range. Most of the time, we won't be using that much. What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches. Because we would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the array will only grow. It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved. We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs. When we have more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the limit is reached. Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for this to happen is when we write to the limit. At that point, we already have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization mechanism.

2012-12-18slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cacheGlauber Costa
Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation. When the slub allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating the cache to a memcg-specific cache Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg version. 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.

2012-10-31slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creationGlauber Costa
Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab. No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in the kmem memcg patches). Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with all flags that are valid at creation time. Allocators that doesn't have any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags. Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

The header format is highly similar between slab and slub. The main difference lays in the fact that slab may optionally have statistics added here in case of CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, while the slub will stick them somewhere else. By making sure that information conditionally lives inside a globally-visible CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB switch, we can move the header printing to a common location.

Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through cpu_hotplug.refcount. The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin() until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()" semantics is totally invisible to lockdep. This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier() is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages: - it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free() call any more - it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency Reviewed-by: Paul E.

2012-09-05mm/sl[aou]b: Do slab aliasing call from common codeChristoph Lameter
The slab aliasing logic causes some strange contortions in slub. So add a call to deal with aliases to slab_common.c but disable it for other slab allocators by providng stubs that fail to create aliases. Full general support for aliases will require additional cleanup passes and more standardization of fields in kmem_cache.

2012-09-05mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.cChristoph Lameter
Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code to slab_common avoids duplicate implementations. With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators. Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems can create temporary strings to create slab caches. Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and those can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator operations). During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about duping names.

2012-09-05mm/sl[aou]b: Get rid of __kmem_cache_destroyChristoph Lameter
What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown. This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure. Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred free to the page allocator occurs.

2012-09-05mm/slab_common: Improve error handling in kmem_cache_createChristoph Lameter
Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will also add more error conditions. Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem in the syslog.

2012-08-16mm/slab: restructure kmem_cache_create() debug checksShuah Khan
kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is defined. These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined. Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing new warnings in the regular path. This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/13/424 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build, cleanup] Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuah.khan@hp.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

Use the mutex definition from SLAB and make it the common way to take a sleeping lock. This has the effect of using a mutex instead of a rw semaphore for SLUB. SLOB gains the use of a mutex for kmem_cache_create serialization. Not needed now but SLOB may acquire some more features later (like slabinfo / sysfs support) through the expansion of the common code that will need this.
