* mm/sl[aou]b: Common alignment codeChristoph Lameter2012-12-115-69/+34
| | | | | | | | | | Extract the code to do object alignment from the allocators. Do the alignment calculations in slab_common so that the __kmem_cache_create functions of the allocators do not have to deal with alignment.

* slab: Use the new create_boot_cache function to simplify bootstrapChristoph Lameter2012-12-111-33/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify setup and reduce code in kmem_cache_init(). This allows us to get rid of initarray_cache as well as the manual setup code for the kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node arrays during bootstrap. We introduce a new bootstrap state "PARTIAL" for slab that signals the creation of a kmem_cache boot cache.

* slab: Simplify bootstrapChristoph Lameter2012-12-112-9/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nodelists field in kmem_cache is pointing to the first unused object in the array field when bootstrap is complete. A problem with the current approach is that the statically sized kmem_cache structure use on boot can only contain NR_CPUS entries. If the number of nodes plus the number of cpus is greater then we would overwrite memory following the kmem_cache_boot definition. Increase the size of the array field to ensure that also the node pointers fit into the array field. Once we do that we no longer need the kmem_cache_nodelists array and we can then also use that structure elsewhere.

* mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGNArnd Bergmann2012-10-311-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on platforms where they are different. Since both are always small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare them is safe and gets rid of the warning. Without this patch, building ARM collie_defconfig results in: mm/slob.c: In function '__kmalloc_node': mm/slob.c:431:152: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] mm/slob.c: In function 'kfree': mm/slob.c:484:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] mm/slob.c: In function 'ksize': mm/slob.c:503:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> [ penberg@kernel.org: updates for master ] Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
* slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creationGlauber Costa2012-10-314-25/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocationsEzequiel Garcia2012-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed using put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. This is based on: commit d9b7f22623b5fa9cc189581dcdfb2ac605933bf4 Author: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> slub: use free_page instead of put_page for freeing kmalloc allocation Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

However, it is a bad practice to not mark a page as a slab page and then use fields for special purposes.

* slub: Commonize slab_cache field in struct pageGlauber Costa2012-10-242-17/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, slab and slub have fields in struct page to derive which cache a page belongs to, but they do it slightly differently. slab uses a field called slab_cache, that lives in the third double word. slub, uses a field called "slab", living outside of the doublewords area. Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area. The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is preferred over slub's generic "slab".

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

* | slub: remove one code path and reduce lock contention in __slab_free()Joonsoo Kim2012-10-191-20/+14
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we try to free object, there is some of case that we need to take a node lock. This is the necessary step for preventing a race. After taking a lock, then we try to cmpxchg_double_slab(). But, there is a possible scenario that cmpxchg_double_slab() is failed with taking a lock. Following example explains it. CPU A CPU B need lock ... need lock ... lock!! lock..but spin free success spin... unlock lock!! free fail In this case, retry with taking a lock is occured in CPU A. I think that in this case for CPU A, "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" is preferable way. There are two reasons for this. First, this makes __slab_free()'s logic somehow simple. With this patch, 'was_frozen = 1' is "always" handled without taking a lock. So we can remove one code path. Second, it may reduce lock contention. When we do retrying, status of slab is already changed, so we don't need a lock anymore in almost every case. "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" policy is helpful to this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the indicator from 0xffffffff in the "event_id" member to zero in the "cntr_mask" member. This removes the need to initialize entries that are unsupported. This also solves a problem where the number of entries in the table was increased based on a globel enum used for all platforms, but the new unsupported entries were not added for mips. This was leaving new table entries of all zeros that we not marked UNSUPPORTED.

| * | MIPS: Align swapper_pg_dir to 64K for better TLB Refill code.David Daney2012-10-112-10/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can save an instruction in the TLB Refill path for kernel mappings by aligning swapper_pg_dir on a 64K boundary. The address of swapper_pg_dir can be generated with a single LUI instead of LUI/{D}ADDUI. The alignment of __init_end is bumped up to 64K so there are no holes between it and swapper_pg_dir, which is placed at the very beginning of .bss. The alignment of invalid_pmd_table and invalid_pte_table can be relaxed to PAGE_SIZE. We do this by using __page_aligned_bss, which has the added benefit of eliminating alignment holes in .bss.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Follow-on MIPS patch will put an object here that needs 64K alignment to minimize padding. For those architectures that don't define BSS_FIRST_SECTIONS, there is no change.

I have had no problems with it across various SGI systems over the years. To quote the post here: http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html "the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler. The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output any more."

This can lead to the following warning: lib/asn1_decoder.c:320 asn1_ber_decoder() warn: unsigned 'len' is never less than zero. Instead, asn1_find_indefinite_length() update the caller's idea of the data cursor and length separately from returning the error code.
