Earlier patches in the common set moved the zeroing of the kmem_cache structure into common code. See "Move allocation of kmem_cache into common code". The allocation for the two special structures is still done from SLUB specific code but no zeroing is done since the cache creation functions used to zero. This now needs to be updated so that the structures are zeroed during allocation in kmem_cache_init(). Otherwise random pointer values may be followed.

| * mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.cChristoph Lameter2012-09-051-19/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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

It makes no sense to call put_page() in kernel pages that are provided by the object allocators, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. Aside from the consistency change, we don't change the flow too much. put_page()'s would call its dtor function, which is __free_pages.

* | slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()Joonsoo Kim2012-09-171-5/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate. "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly. As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently. This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

* mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checksChristoph Lameter2012-07-311-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the check for pfmemalloc from the alloc hotpath and puts the logic after the election of a new per cpu slab. For a pfmemalloc page we do not use the fast path but force the use of the slow path which is also used for the debug case. This has the side-effect of weakening pfmemalloc processing in the following way; 1. A process that is allocating for network swap calls __slab_alloc. pfmemalloc_match is true so the freelist is loaded and c->freelist is now pointing to a pfmemalloc page. 2. A process that is attempting normal allocations calls slab_alloc, finds the pfmemalloc page on the freelist and uses it because it did not check pfmemalloc_match() The patch allows non-pfmemalloc allocations to use pfmemalloc pages with the kmalloc slabs being the most vunerable caches on the grounds they are most likely to have a mix of pfmemalloc and !pfmemalloc requests. A later patch will still protect the system as processes will get throttled if the pfmemalloc reserves get depleted but performance will not degrade as smoothly.

* mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pagesMel Gorman2012-07-311-2/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster.

To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

In addition many code in do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop, we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case. In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed, remove_partial should be called case by case. I think that these are disadvantages of current implementation, so I do refactoring unfreeze_partials(). Minimizing code in do {} while loop introduce a reduced fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab.

Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid the loop in acquire slab and simply fail if there is a conflict. This will cause the next page on the list to be considered.

| * slub: use __SetPageSlab function to set PG_slab flagJoonsoo Kim2012-05-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To set page-flag, using SetPageXXXX() and __SetPageXXXX() is more understandable and maintainable. So change it. Signed-off-by: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
| * slub: fix a memory leak in get_partial_node()Joonsoo Kim2012-05-181-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case which is below, 1. acquire slab for cpu partial list 2. free object to it by remote cpu 3. page->freelist = t then memory leak is occurred. Change acquire_slab() not to zap freelist when it works for cpu partial list. I think it is a sufficient solution for fixing a memory leak. Below is output of 'slabinfo -r kmalloc-256' when './perf stat -r 30 hackbench 50 process 4000 > /dev/null' is done. ***Vanilla*** Sizes (bytes) Slabs Debug Memory ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Object : 256 Total : 468 Sanity Checks : Off Total: 3833856 SlabObj: 256 Full : 111 Redzoning : Off Used : 2004992 SlabSiz: 8192 Partial: 302 Poisoning : Off Loss : 1828864 Loss : 0 CpuSlab: 55 Tracking : Off Lalig: 0 Align : 8 Objects: 32 Tracing : Off Lpadd: 0 ***Patched*** Sizes (bytes) Slabs Debug Memory ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Object : 256 Total : 300 Sanity Checks : Off Total: 2457600 SlabObj: 256 Full : 204 Redzoning : Off Used : 2348800 SlabSiz: 8192 Partial: 33 Poisoning : Off Loss : 108800 Loss : 0 CpuSlab: 63 Tracking : Off Lalig: 0 Align : 8 Objects: 32 Tracing : Off Lpadd: 0 Total and loss number is the impact of this patch.
