10befea91b mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations
Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and
non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted
allocations, we can use just one.

The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on
demand and filled only for accounted allocations.

It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache
clones for accounted allocations.  There is no more need to create them,
accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc.  It's a quite
significant simplification.

Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not
all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are
expected.  On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

15999eef7f mm: memcg/slab: remove redundant check in memcg_accumulate_slabinfo()
memcg_accumulate_slabinfo() is never called with a non-root kmem_cache as
a first argument, so the is_root_cache(s) check is redundant and can be
removed without any functional change.

c7094406fc mm: memcg/slab: deprecate slab_root_caches
Currently there are two lists of kmem_caches:
1) slab_caches, which contains all kmem_caches,
2) slab_root_caches, which contains only root kmem_caches.

And there is some preprocessor magic to have a single list if
CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM isn't enabled.

It was required earlier because the number of non-root kmem_caches was
proportional to the number of memory cgroups and could reach really big
values.  Now, when it cannot exceed the number of root kmem_caches, there
is really no reason to maintain two lists.

We never iterate over the slab_root_caches list on any hot paths, so it's
perfectly fine to iterate over slab_caches and filter out non-root
kmem_caches.

It allows to remove a lot of config-dependent code and two pointers from
the kmem_cache structure.

d797b7d054 mm: memcg/slab: simplify memcg cache creation
Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of
memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more
need for a dedicated workqueue.

Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the
memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to
just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic
allocation of the work structure.

This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache
there is only one work.  So there will be no more concurrent attempts to
create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all
following attempts to queue the work will fail.

On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the
expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished.
Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.

9855609bde mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations
This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab
allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate
set for each memory cgroup.

Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of
root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely.
They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts.
This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root
kmem_caches and delete a ton of code.

This patch performs the following changes:
1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the
   kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations
2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism
   to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt
3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg,
   e.g. dentry-memcg
4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache
   or schedule it's creation and return the root cache
5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code
   (separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc)
6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never
   show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute.

Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

4330a26bc4 mm: memcg/slab: deprecate memory.kmem.slabinfo
Deprecate memory.kmem.slabinfo.

An empty file will be presented if corresponding config options are
enabled.

The interface is implementation dependent, isn't present in cgroup v2, and
is generally useful only for core mm debugging purposes.  In other words,
it doesn't provide any value for the absolute majority of users.

A drgn-based replacement can be found in
tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py.  It does support cgroup v1 and v2,
mimics memory.kmem.slabinfo output and also allows to get any
additional information without a need to recompile the kernel.

If a drgn-based solution is too slow for a task, a bpf-based tracing tool
can be used, which can easily keep track of all slab allocations belonging
to a memory cgroup.

d42f3245c7 mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes
In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert
NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes.

To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and
NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB).

Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg
and lruvec counters are stored in bytes.  This scheme may look weird, but
only for now.  As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple
cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab
pages.  However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab
memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account.
Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional
overhead.

The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it
will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

444050990d mm, slab: check GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK before alloc_pages in kmalloc_order
kmalloc cannot allocate memory from HIGHMEM.  Allocating large amounts of
memory currently bypasses the check and will simply leak the memory when
page_address() returns NULL.  To fix this, factor the GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK
check out of slab & slub, and call it from kmalloc_order() as well.  In
order to make the code clear, the warning message is put in one place.

453431a549 mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive()
As said by Linus:

  A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use.
  Otherwise it's actively misleading.

  In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the
  caller wants.

  In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the
  future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or
  something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_.

The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information
that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory
objects.

Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently
added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit.
In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure
that it won't get optimized away by the compiler.

The renaming is done by using the command sequence:

  git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\
  xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/'

followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding
a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

d38a2b7a9c mm: memcg/slab: fix memory leak at non-root kmem_cache destroy
If the kmem_cache refcount is greater than one, we should not mark the
root kmem_cache as dying.  If we mark the root kmem_cache dying
incorrectly, the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.  It
resulted in memory leak when memcg was destroyed.  We can use the
following steps to reproduce.

  1) Use kmem_cache_create() to create a new kmem_cache named A.
  2) Coincidentally, the kmem_cache A is an alias for kmem_cache B,
     so the refcount of B is just increased.
  3) Use kmem_cache_destroy() to destroy the kmem_cache A, just
     decrease the B's refcount but mark the B as dying.
  4) Create a new memory cgroup and alloc memory from the kmem_cache
     B. It leads to create a non-root kmem_cache for allocating memory.
  5) When destroy the memory cgroup created in the step 4), the
     non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed.

If we repeat steps 4) and 5), this will cause a lot of memory leak.  So
only when refcount reach zero, we mark the root kmem_cache as dying.

8982ae527f mm/slab: use memzero_explicit() in kzfree()
The kzfree() function is normally used to clear some sensitive
information, like encryption keys, in the buffer before freeing it back to
the pool.  Memset() is currently used for buffer clearing.  However
unlikely, there is still a non-zero probability that the compiler may
choose to optimize away the memory clearing especially if LTO is being
used in the future.

To make sure that this optimization will never happen,
memzero_explicit(), which is introduced in v3.18, is now used in
kzfree() to future-proof it.

49f2d2419d usercopy: mark dma-kmalloc caches as usercopy caches
We have seen a "usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to
SLUB object 'dma-kmalloc-1 k' (offset 0, size 11)!" error on s390x, as
IUCV uses kmalloc() with __GFP_DMA because of memory address
restrictions.  The issue has been discussed [2] and it has been noted
that if all the kmalloc caches are marked as usercopy, there's little
reason not to mark dma-kmalloc caches too.  The 'dma' part merely means
that __GFP_DMA is used to restrict memory address range.

As Jann Horn put it [3]:
 "I think dma-kmalloc slabs should be handled the same way as normal
  kmalloc slabs. When a dma-kmalloc allocation is freshly created, it is
  just normal kernel memory - even if it might later be used for DMA -,
  and it should be perfectly fine to copy_from_user() into such
  allocations at that point, and to copy_to_user() out of them at the
  end. If you look at the places where such allocations are created, you
  can see things like kmemdup(), memcpy() and so on - all normal
  operations that shouldn't conceptually be different from usercopy in
  any relevant way."

Thus this patch marks the dma-kmalloc-* caches as usercopy.

authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons
when it is not.

This should help with scalability: benchmark is "read /proc/cpuinfo R times

That's because kmem_caches is defined only when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is set,
while memcg_slab_start() will use it no matter CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is defined
or not.

By the way, the reason I mannuly undefined CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is to verify
whether my some other code change is still stable when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is
not set. Unfortunately, the existing code has been already unstable since
v4.11.

  x2apic: IRQ remapping doesn't support X2APIC mode

The warning is caused by the calling of 'kmem_cache_destroy()'
in free_iommu_resources(). Here is the call path:

  free_iommu_resources
    kmem_cache_destroy
      flush_memcg_workqueue
        flush_workqueue

The root cause is that the IOMMU subsystem runs before the workqueue
subsystem, which the variable 'wq_online' is still 'false'.  This leads
to the statement 'if (WARN_ON(!wq_online))' in flush_workqueue() is
'true'.

Since the variable 'memcg_kmem_cache_wq' is not allocated during the
time, it is unnecessary to call flush_memcg_workqueue().  This prevents
the WARNING message triggered by flush_workqueue().

The problem occurs because kmem_cache_destroy() is called immediately
after deleting of a memcg, so it races with the memcg kmem_cache
deactivation.

flush_memcg_workqueue() at the beginning of kmem_cache_destroy() is
supposed to guarantee that all deactivation processes are finished, but
failed to do so.  It waits for an rcu grace period, after which all
children kmem_caches should be deactivated.  During the deactivation
percpu_ref_kill() is called for non root kmem_cache refcounters, but it
requires yet another rcu grace period to finish the transition to the
atomic (dead) state.

So in a rare case when not all children kmem_caches are destroyed at the
moment when the root kmem_cache is about to be gone, we need to wait
another rcu grace period before destroying the root kmem_cache.

This issue can be triggered only with dynamically created kmem_caches
which are used with memcg accounting.  In this case per-memcg child
kmem_caches are created.  They are deactivated from the cgroup removing
path.  If the destruction of the root kmem_cache is racing with the
removal of the cgroup (both are quite complicated multi-stage
processes), the described issue can occur.  The only known way to
trigger it in the real life, is to unload some kernel module which
creates a dedicated kmem_cache, used from different memory cgroups with
GFP_ACCOUNT flag.  If the unloading happens immediately after calling
rmdir on the corresponding cgroup, there is some chance to trigger the
issue.

cb5d9fb38c mm, slab: make kmalloc_info[] contain all types of names
Patch series "mm, slab: Make kmalloc_info[] contain all types of names", v6.

There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM
and KMALLOC_DMA.

The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name,
but the names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically
generated by kmalloc_cache_name().

Patch1 predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save
the time spent dynamically generating names.

These changes make sense, and the time spent by new_kmalloc_cache()
has been reduced by approximately 36.3%.

                         Time spent by new_kmalloc_cache()

5.3-rc7+patch                        42188

This patch (of 3):

There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM and
KMALLOC_DMA.

The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name, but the
names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically generated by
kmalloc_cache_name().

This patch predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save the time
spent dynamically generating names.

Besides, remove the kmalloc_cache_name() that is no longer used.

  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

The kernel panics on an attempt to dereference the NULL memcg pointer.
When shutdown_cache() is called from the kmem_cache_destroy() context, a
memcg kmem_cache might have empty slab pages in a partial list, which are
still charged to the memory cgroup.

These pages are released by free_partial() at the beginning of
shutdown_cache(): either directly or by scheduling a RCU-delayed work
(if the kmem_cache has the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag).  The latter case
is when the reported panic can happen: memcg_unlink_cache() is called
immediately after shrinking partial lists, without waiting for scheduled
RCU works.  It sets the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer to NULL,
and the following attempt to dereference it by __free_slab() from the
RCU work context causes the panic.

To fix the issue, let's postpone the release of the memcg pointer to
destroy_memcg_params().  It's called from a separate work context by
slab_caches_to_rcu_destroy_workfn(), which contains a full RCU barrier.
This guarantees that all scheduled page release RCU works will complete
before the memcg pointer will be zeroed.

Big thanks for Karsten for the perfect report containing all necessary
information, his help with the analysis of the problem and testing of the
fix.

59bb47985c mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)
In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned
(i.e.  aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes.

That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that
alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g.
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned.  Then
developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with
specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently
evidenced in [2].

The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3].  Adding a
'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying
on the implicit alignment.  For slab implementations it would either
require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only
give back part of it.  That would be wasteful, especially with a generic
alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size).

Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult
workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc()
alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all
configurations.  What this means for the three available allocators?

* SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch.  The
  implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with
  CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for
  caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long.  Practically on at
  least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment,
  which is larger than that.  Still, this patch ensures alignment on all
  arches and cache sizes.

* SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through
  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache.
  With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as
  well.  This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be
  acceptable in a debugging scenario.

* SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for
  kmalloc().  The potential downside is increased fragmentation.  While
  pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing,
  after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory
  was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with
  difference in the noise.

6a486c0ad4 mm, sl[ou]b: improve memory accounting
Patch series "guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc()", v2.

This patch (of 2):

SLOB currently doesn't account its pages at all, so in /proc/meminfo the
Slab field shows zero.  Modifying a counter on page allocation and
freeing should be acceptable even for the small system scenarios SLOB is
intended for.  Since reclaimable caches are not separated in SLOB,
account everything as unreclaimable.

SLUB currently doesn't account kmalloc() and kmalloc_node() allocations
larger than order-1 page, that are passed directly to the page
allocator.  As they also don't appear in /proc/slabinfo, it might look
like a memory leak.  For consistency, account them as well.  (SLAB
doesn't actually use page allocator directly, so no change there).

Ideally SLOB and SLUB would be handled in separate patches, but due to
the shared kmalloc_order() function and different kfree()
implementations, it's easier to patch both at once to prevent
inconsistencies.

04f768a39d mm, slab: extend slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches
Currently, a value of '1" is written to /sys/kernel/slab/<slab>/shrink
file to shrink the slab by flushing out all the per-cpu slabs and free
slabs in partial lists.  This can be useful to squeeze out a bit more
memory under extreme condition as well as making the active object counts
in /proc/slabinfo more accurate.

This usually applies only to the root caches, as the SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON
option is usually not enabled and "slub_memcg_sysfs=1" not set.  Even if
memcg sysfs is turned on, it is too cumbersome and impractical to manage
all those per-memcg sysfs files in a real production system.

So there is no practical way to shrink memcg caches.  Fix this by enabling
a proper write to the shrink sysfs file of the root cache to scan all the
available memcg caches and shrink them as well.  For a non-root memcg
cache (when SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON or slub_memcg_sysfs is on), only that
cache will be shrunk when written.

On a 2-socket 64-core 256-thread arm64 system with 64k page after
a parallel kernel build, the the amount of memory occupied by slabs
before shrinking slabs were:

 # grep task_struct /proc/slabinfo
 task_struct        53137  53192   4288   61    4 : tunables    0    0
 0 : slabdata    872    872      0

 Slab:            3936832 kB
 SReclaimable:     399104 kB
 SUnreclaim:      3537728 kB

After shrinking slabs (by echoing "1" to all shrink files):

 # grep "^S[lRU]" /proc/meminfo
 Slab:            1356288 kB
 SReclaimable:     263296 kB
 SUnreclaim:      1092992 kB

a07057dce2 mm/slab_common.c: work around clang bug #42570
Clang gets rather confused about two variables in the same special
section when one of them is not initialized, leading to an assembler
warning later:

  /tmp/slab_common-18f869.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/slab_common-18f869.s:7526: Warning: ignoring changed section attributes for .data..ro_after_init

Adding an initialization to kmalloc_caches is rather silly here
but does avoid the issue.

fcf8a1e483 mm, memcg: add a memcg_slabinfo debugfs file
There are concerns about memory leaks from extensive use of memory cgroups
as each memory cgroup creates its own set of kmem caches.  There is a
possiblity that the memcg kmem caches may remain even after the memory
cgroups have been offlined.  Therefore, it will be useful to show the
status of each of memcg kmem caches.

This patch introduces a new <debugfs>/memcg_slabinfo file which is
somewhat similar to /proc/slabinfo in format, but lists only information
about kmem caches that have child memcg kmem caches.  Information
available in /proc/slabinfo are not repeated in memcg_slabinfo.

A portion of a sample output of the file was:

  # <name> <css_id[:dead]> <active_objs> <num_objs> <active_slabs> <num_slabs>

The css id of the memcg is also listed. If a memcg is not online,
the tag ":dead" will be attached as shown above.

fb2f2b0adb mm: memcg/slab: reparent memcg kmem_caches on cgroup removal
Let's reparent non-root kmem_caches on memcg offlining.  This allows us to
release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding kernel
object (e.g.  dentry used by another application).

Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do is to
splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list, swap the
memcg pointer, drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache and adjust the
parent's css refcounter.

Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable pointer
anymore.  It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock(), cgroup_mutex held,
or any other way that protects the memory cgroup from being released.

We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths.  It's not a
big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always correct, and
we don't care anymore about the child usage and global stats.  The child
cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it anywhere.

Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE) aren't
used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes().  But even there it won't break
anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child level (because
we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on parent level page stats
always were 0, and this patch won't change anything.

f0a3a24b53 mm: memcg/slab: rework non-root kmem_cache lifecycle management
Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which
it's charged.  Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all
together with the memory cgroup.  It means that none of kmem_caches are
released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very
far from optimal.

Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as
soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no
pending allocations.

To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root
kmem caches.  The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is
switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation.  The counter
is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation.
So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete.

To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue,
previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation.  Once the reference
counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release.

* I used the following simple approach to test the performance
(stolen from another patchset by T. Harding):

    time find / -name fname-no-exist
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    repeat 10 times

63b02ef7dc mm: memcg/slab: synchronize access to kmem_cache dying flag using a spinlock
Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding workqueue used
for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches is synchronized using the
slab_mutex.

It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context, which will be
required in order to implement asynchronous release of kmem_caches.

So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based
synchronization.

570332978e mm: memcg/slab: don't check the dying flag on kmem_cache creation
There is no point in checking the root_cache->memcg_params.dying flag on
kmem_cache creation path.  New allocations shouldn't be performed using a
dead root kmem_cache, so no new memcg kmem_cache creation can be scheduled
after the flag is set.  And if it was scheduled before,
flush_memcg_workqueue() will wait for it anyway.

So let's drop this check to simplify the code.

4348669475 mm: memcg/slab: generalize postponed non-root kmem_cache deactivation
Currently SLUB uses a work scheduled after an RCU grace period to
deactivate a non-root kmem_cache.  This mechanism can be reused for
kmem_caches release, but requires generalization for SLAB case.

Introduce kmemcg_cache_deactivate() function, which calls
allocator-specific __kmem_cache_deactivate() and schedules execution of
__kmem_cache_deactivate_after_rcu() with all necessary locks in a worker
context after an rcu grace period.

Here is the new calling scheme:
  kmemcg_cache_deactivate()
    __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()                  SLAB/SLUB-specific
    kmemcg_rcufn()                               rcu
      kmemcg_workfn()                            work
        __kmemcg_cache_deactivate_after_rcu()    SLAB/SLUB-specific

instead of:
  __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()                    SLAB/SLUB-specific
    slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched()      SLUB-only
      kmemcg_rcufn()                             rcu
        kmemcg_workfn()                          work
          kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu()         SLUB-only

For consistency, all allocator-specific functions start with "__".

0b14e8aa68 mm: memcg/slab: rename slab delayed deactivation functions and fields
The delayed work/rcu deactivation infrastructure of non-root kmem_caches
can be also used for asynchronous release of these objects.  Let's get rid
of the word "deactivation" in corresponding names to make the code look
better after generalization.

It's easier to make the renaming first, so that the generalized code will
look consistent from scratch.

Let's rename struct memcg_cache_params fields:
  deact_fn -> work_fn
  deact_rcu_head -> rcu_head
  deact_work -> work

And RCU/delayed work callbacks in slab common code:
  kmemcg_deactivate_rcufn -> kmemcg_rcufn
  kmemcg_deactivate_workfn -> kmemcg_workfn

This patch contains no functional changes, only renamings.

c03914b7aa mm: memcg/slab: postpone kmem_cache memcg pointer initialization to memcg_link_cache()
Patch series "mm: reparent slab memory on cgroup removal", v7.

# Why do we need this?

We've noticed that the number of dying cgroups is steadily growing on most
of our hosts in production.  The following investigation revealed an issue
in the userspace memory reclaim code [1], accounting of kernel stacks [2],
and also the main reason: slab objects.

The underlying problem is quite simple: any page charged to a cgroup holds
a reference to it, so the cgroup can't be reclaimed unless all charged
pages are gone.  If a slab object is actively used by other cgroups, it
won't be reclaimed, and will prevent the origin cgroup from being
reclaimed.

Slab objects, and first of all vfs cache, is shared between cgroups, which
are using the same underlying fs, and what's even more important, it's
shared between multiple generations of the same workload.  So if something
is running periodically every time in a new cgroup (like how systemd
works), we do accumulate multiple dying cgroups.

Strictly speaking pagecache isn't different here, but there is a key
difference: we disable protection and apply some extra pressure on LRUs of
dying cgroups, and these LRUs contain all charged pages.  My experiments
show that with the disabled kernel memory accounting the number of dying
cgroups stabilizes at a relatively small number (~100, depends on memory
pressure and cgroup creation rate), and with kernel memory accounting it
grows pretty steadily up to several thousands.

Memory cgroups are quite complex and big objects (mostly due to percpu
stats), so it leads to noticeable memory losses.  Memory occupied by dying
cgroups is measured in hundreds of megabytes.  I've even seen a host with
more than 100Gb of memory wasted for dying cgroups.  It leads to a
degradation of performance with the uptime, and generally limits the usage
of cgroups.

My previous attempt [3] to fix the problem by applying extra pressure on
slab shrinker lists caused a regressions with xfs and ext4, and has been
reverted [4].  The following attempts to find the right balance [5, 6]
were not successful.

So instead of trying to find a maybe non-existing balance, let's do
reparent accounted slab caches to the parent cgroup on cgroup removal.

# Implementation approach

There is however a significant problem with reparenting of slab memory:
there is no list of charged pages.  Some of them are in shrinker lists,
but not all.  Introducing of a new list is really not an option.

But fortunately there is a way forward: every slab page has a stable
pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache.  So the idea is to reparent
kmem_caches instead of slab pages.

It's actually simpler and cheaper, but requires some underlying changes:
1) Make kmem_caches to hold a single reference to the memory cgroup,
   instead of a separate reference per every slab page.
2) Stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for memcg slab pages and use
   page->kmem_cache->memcg indirection instead. It's used only on
   slab page release, so performance overhead shouldn't be a big issue.
3) Introduce a refcounter for non-root slab caches. It's required to
   be able to destroy kmem_caches when they become empty and release
   the associated memory cgroup.

There is a bonus: currently we release all memcg kmem_caches all together
with the memory cgroup itself.  This patchset allows individual
kmem_caches to be released as soon as they become inactive and free.

Some additional implementation details are provided in corresponding
commit messages.

# Results

Below is the average number of dying cgroups on two groups of our
production hosts.  They do run some sort of web frontend workload, the
memory pressure is moderate.  As we can see, with the kernel memory
reparenting the number stabilizes in 60s range; however with the original
version it grows almost linearly and doesn't show any signs of plateauing.
The difference in slab and percpu usage between patched and unpatched
versions also grows linearly.  In 7 days it exceeded 200Mb.

This patch (of 10):

Initialize kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer in memcg_link_cache()
rather than in init_memcg_params().

Once kmem_cache will hold a reference to the memory cgroup, it will
simplify the refcounting.

For non-root kmem_caches memcg_link_cache() is always called before the
kmem_cache becomes visible to a user, so it's safe.

0d4ca4c9ba mm/kasan: add object validation in ksize()
ksize() has been unconditionally unpoisoning the whole shadow memory
region associated with an allocation.  This can lead to various undetected
bugs, for example, double-kzfree().

Specifically, kzfree() uses ksize() to determine the actual allocation
size, and subsequently zeroes the memory.  Since ksize() used to just
unpoison the whole shadow memory region, no invalid free was detected.

This patch addresses this as follows:

1. Add a check in ksize(), and only then unpoison the memory region.

2. Preserve kasan_unpoison_slab() semantics by explicitly unpoisoning
   the shadow memory region using the size obtained from __ksize().

Tested:
1. With SLAB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the
   added double-kzfree() is detected.
2. With SLUB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the
   added double-kzfree() is detected.

6d6ea1e967 mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone
Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables",
v6.

This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2].

IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1
and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit
systems.

For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use
__get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still
use GFP_DMA).

For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full
page, so we considered 3 approaches:
 1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches.
 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page
    tables (4096, so 4MB of memory).
 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse
    freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3]

This series is the most memory-efficient approach.

stable@ note:
  We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19
  and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue
  most likely starts from commit ad67f5a654 ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA
  with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek
  platforms (and maybe others?).

[1] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-November/030876.html
[2] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-December/031696.html
[3] https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/671639/

This patch (of 3):

IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables to be
allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems.  On arm64,
this is done by passing GFP_DMA32 flag to memory allocation functions.

For IOMMU L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate
a full page using get_free_pages, so we considered 3 approaches:
 1. This patch, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches.
 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2
    page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory).
 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable
    to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed.

This change makes it possible to create a custom cache in DMA32 zone using
kmem_cache_create, then allocate memory using kmem_cache_alloc.

We do not create a DMA32 kmalloc cache array, as there are currently no
users of kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32).  These calls will continue to trigger a
warning, as we keep GFP_DMA32 in GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK.

This implies that calls to kmem_cache_*alloc on a SLAB_CACHE_DMA32
kmem_cache must _not_ use GFP_DMA32 (it is anyway redundant and
unnecessary).

aa9694bb78 mm, memcg: create mem_cgroup_from_seq
This is the start of a series of patches similar to my earlier
DEFINE_MEMCG_MAX_OR_VAL work, but with less Macro Magic(tm).

There are a bunch of places we go from seq_file to mem_cgroup, which
currently requires manually getting the css, then getting the mem_cgroup
from the css.  It's in enough places now that having mem_cgroup_from_seq
makes sense (and also makes the next patch a bit nicer).

a2f775751d kmemleak: account for tagged pointers when calculating pointer range
kmemleak keeps two global variables, min_addr and max_addr, which store
the range of valid (encountered by kmemleak) pointer values, which it
later uses to speed up pointer lookup when scanning blocks.

With tagged pointers this range will get bigger than it needs to be.  This
patch makes kmemleak untag pointers before saving them to min_addr and
max_addr and when performing a lookup.

53128245b4 kasan, kmemleak: pass tagged pointers to kmemleak
Right now we call kmemleak hooks before assigning tags to pointers in
KASAN hooks.  As a result, when an objects gets allocated, kmemleak sees a
differently tagged pointer, compared to the one it sees when the object
gets freed.  Fix it by calling KASAN hooks before kmemleak's ones.

772a2fa50f kasan, mm: perform untagged pointers comparison in krealloc
The krealloc function checks where the same buffer was reused or a new one
allocated by comparing kernel pointers.  Tag-based KASAN changes memory
tag on the krealloc'ed chunk of memory and therefore also changes the
pointer tag of the returned pointer.  Therefore we need to perform
comparison on untagged (with tags reset) pointers to check whether it's
the same memory region or not.

0116523cff kasan, mm: change hooks signatures
Patch series "kasan: add software tag-based mode for arm64", v13.

This patchset adds a new software tag-based mode to KASAN [1].  (Initially
this mode was called KHWASAN, but it got renamed, see the naming rationale
at the end of this section).

The plan is to implement HWASan [2] for the kernel with the incentive,
that it's going to have comparable to KASAN performance, but in the same
time consume much less memory, trading that off for somewhat imprecise bug
detection and being supported only for arm64.

The underlying ideas of the approach used by software tag-based KASAN are:

1. By using the Top Byte Ignore (TBI) arm64 CPU feature, we can store
   pointer tags in the top byte of each kernel pointer.

2. Using shadow memory, we can store memory tags for each chunk of kernel
   memory.

3. On each memory allocation, we can generate a random tag, embed it into
   the returned pointer and set the memory tags that correspond to this
   chunk of memory to the same value.

4. By using compiler instrumentation, before each memory access we can add
   a check that the pointer tag matches the tag of the memory that is being
   accessed.

5. On a tag mismatch we report an error.

With this patchset the existing KASAN mode gets renamed to generic KASAN,
with the word "generic" meaning that the implementation can be supported
by any architecture as it is purely software.

The new mode this patchset adds is called software tag-based KASAN.  The
word "tag-based" refers to the fact that this mode uses tags embedded into
the top byte of kernel pointers and the TBI arm64 CPU feature that allows
to dereference such pointers.  The word "software" here means that shadow
memory manipulation and tag checking on pointer dereference is done in
software.  As it is the only tag-based implementation right now, "software
tag-based" KASAN is sometimes referred to as simply "tag-based" in this
patchset.

A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which
would use hardware memory tagging support (announced by Arm [3]) instead
of compiler instrumentation and manual shadow memory manipulation.

Same as generic KASAN, software tag-based KASAN is strictly a debugging
feature.

====== Rationale

On mobile devices generic KASAN's memory usage is significant problem.
One of the main reasons to have tag-based KASAN is to be able to perform a
similar set of checks as the generic one does, but with lower memory
requirements.

Comment from Vishwath Mohan <vishwath@google.com>:

I don't have data on-hand, but anecdotally both ASAN and KASAN have proven
problematic to enable for environments that don't tolerate the increased
memory pressure well.  This includes

(a) Low-memory form factors - Wear, TV, Things, lower-tier phones like Go,
(c) Connected components like Pixel's visual core [1].

These are both places I'd love to have a low(er) memory footprint option at
my disposal.

Comment from Evgenii Stepanov <eugenis@google.com>:

Looking at a live Android device under load, slab (according to
/proc/meminfo) + kernel stack take 8-10% available RAM (~350MB).  KASAN's
overhead of 2x - 3x on top of it is not insignificant.

Not having this overhead enables near-production use - ex.  running
KASAN/KHWASAN kernel on a personal, daily-use device to catch bugs that do
not reproduce in test configuration.  These are the ones that often cost
the most engineering time to track down.

CPU overhead is bad, but generally tolerable.  RAM is critical, in our
experience.  Once it gets low enough, OOM-killer makes your life
miserable.

====== Technical details

Software tag-based KASAN mode is implemented in a very similar way to the
generic one. This patchset essentially does the following:

1. TCR_TBI1 is set to enable Top Byte Ignore.

2. Shadow memory is used (with a different scale, 1:16, so each shadow
   byte corresponds to 16 bytes of kernel memory) to store memory tags.

3. All slab objects are aligned to shadow scale, which is 16 bytes.

4. All pointers returned from the slab allocator are tagged with a random
   tag and the corresponding shadow memory is poisoned with the same value.

5. Compiler instrumentation is used to insert tag checks. Either by
   calling callbacks or by inlining them (CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE and
   CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE flags are reused).

6. When a tag mismatch is detected in callback instrumentation mode
   KASAN simply prints a bug report. In case of inline instrumentation,
   clang inserts a brk instruction, and KASAN has it's own brk handler,
   which reports the bug.

7. The memory in between slab objects is marked with a reserved tag, and
   acts as a redzone.

8. When a slab object is freed it's marked with a reserved tag.

Bug detection is imprecise for two reasons:

1. We won't catch some small out-of-bounds accesses, that fall into the
   same shadow cell, as the last byte of a slab object.

2. We only have 1 byte to store tags, which means we have a 1/256
   probability of a tag match for an incorrect access (actually even
   slightly less due to reserved tag values).

Despite that there's a particular type of bugs that tag-based KASAN can
detect compared to generic KASAN: use-after-free after the object has been
allocated by someone else.

====== Testing

Some kernel developers voiced a concern that changing the top byte of
kernel pointers may lead to subtle bugs that are difficult to discover.
To address this concern deliberate testing has been performed.

It doesn't seem feasible to do some kind of static checking to find
potential issues with pointer tagging, so a dynamic approach was taken.
All pointer comparisons/subtractions have been instrumented in an LLVM
compiler pass and a kernel module that would print a bug report whenever
two pointers with different tags are being compared/subtracted (ignoring
comparisons with NULL pointers and with pointers obtained by casting an
error code to a pointer type) has been used.  Then the kernel has been
booted in QEMU and on an Odroid C2 board and syzkaller has been run.

This yielded the following results.

The two places that look interesting are:

is_vmalloc_addr in include/linux/mm.h
is_kernel_rodata in mm/util.c

Here we compare a pointer with some fixed untagged values to make sure
that the pointer lies in a particular part of the kernel address space.
Since tag-based KASAN doesn't add tags to pointers that belong to rodata
or vmalloc regions, this should work as is.  To make sure debug checks to
those two functions that check that the result doesn't change whether we
operate on pointers with or without untagging has been added.

A few other cases that don't look that interesting:

Comparing pointers to achieve unique sorting order of pointee objects
(e.g. sorting locks addresses before performing a double lock):

tty_ldisc_lock_pair_timeout in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c
pipe_double_lock in fs/pipe.c
unix_state_double_lock in net/unix/af_unix.c
lock_two_nondirectories in fs/inode.c
mutex_lock_double in kernel/events/core.c

ep_cmp_ffd in fs/eventpoll.c
fsnotify_compare_groups fs/notify/mark.c

Nothing needs to be done here, since the tags embedded into pointers
don't change, so the sorting order would still be unique.

Checks that a pointer belongs to some particular allocation:

is_sibling_entry in lib/radix-tree.c
object_is_on_stack in include/linux/sched/task_stack.h

Nothing needs to be done here either, since two pointers can only belong
to the same allocation if they have the same tag.

Overall, since the kernel boots and works, there are no critical bugs.
As for the rest, the traditional kernel testing way (use until fails) is
the only one that looks feasible.

Another point here is that tag-based KASAN is available under a separate
config option that needs to be deliberately enabled. Even though it might
be used in a "near-production" environment to find bugs that are not found
during fuzzing or running tests, it is still a debug tool.

====== Benchmarks

The following numbers were collected on Odroid C2 board. Both generic and
tag-based KASAN were used in inline instrumentation mode.

Boot time [1]:
* ~1.7 sec for clean kernel
* ~5.0 sec for generic KASAN
* ~5.0 sec for tag-based KASAN

Network performance [2]:
* 8.33 Gbits/sec for clean kernel
* 3.17 Gbits/sec for generic KASAN
* 2.85 Gbits/sec for tag-based KASAN

Slab memory usage after boot [3]:
* ~40 kb for clean kernel
* ~105 kb (~260% overhead) for generic KASAN
* ~47 kb (~20% overhead) for tag-based KASAN

KASAN memory overhead consists of three main parts:
1. Increased slab memory usage due to redzones.
2. Shadow memory (the whole reserved once during boot).
3. Quaratine (grows gradually until some preset limit; the more the limit,
   the more the chance to detect a use-after-free).

Comparing tag-based vs generic KASAN for each of these points:
1. 20% vs 260% overhead.
2. 1/16th vs 1/8th of physical memory.
3. Tag-based KASAN doesn't require quarantine.

[1] Time before the ext4 driver is initialized.
[2] Measured as `iperf -s & iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -t 30`.
[3] Measured as `cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab`.

====== Some notes

A few notes:

1. The patchset can be found here:
   https://github.com/xairy/kasan-prototype/tree/khwasan

2. Building requires a recent Clang version (7.0.0 or later).

3. Stack instrumentation is not supported yet and will be added later.

This patch (of 25):

Tag-based KASAN changes the value of the top byte of pointers returned
from the kernel allocation functions (such as kmalloc).  This patch
updates KASAN hooks signatures and their usage in SLAB and SLUB code to
reflect that.
