* The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator
* Jeff Bonwick (Sun Microsystems).
* Presented at: USENIX Summer 1994 Technical Conference
*
* The memory is organized in caches, one cache for each object type.
* (e.g. inode_cache, dentry_cache, buffer_head, vm_area_struct)
* Each cache consists out of many slabs (they are small (usually one
* page long) and always contiguous), and each slab contains multiple
* initialized objects.
*
* This means, that your constructor is used only for newly allocated
* slabs and you must pass objects with the same initializations to
* kmem_cache_free.
*
* Each cache can only support one memory type (GFP_DMA, GFP_HIGHMEM,
* normal). If you need a special memory type, then must create a new
* cache for that memory type.
*
* In order to reduce fragmentation, the slabs are sorted in 3 groups:
* full slabs with 0 free objects
* partial slabs
* empty slabs with no allocated objects
*
* If partial slabs exist, then new allocations come from these slabs,
* otherwise from empty slabs or new slabs are allocated.
*
* kmem_cache_destroy() CAN CRASH if you try to allocate from the cache
* during kmem_cache_destroy(). The caller must prevent concurrent allocs.
*
* Each cache has a short per-cpu head array, most allocs
* and frees go into that array, and if that array overflows, then 1/2
* of the entries in the array are given back into the global cache.
* The head array is strictly LIFO and should improve the cache hit rates.
* On SMP, it additionally reduces the spinlock operations.
*
* The c_cpuarray may not be read with enabled local interrupts -
* it's changed with a smp_call_function().
*
* SMP synchronization:
* constructors and destructors are called without any locking.
* Several members in struct kmem_cache and struct slab never change, they
* are accessed without any locking.
* The per-cpu arrays are never accessed from the wrong cpu, no locking,
* and local interrupts are disabled so slab code is preempt-safe.
* The non-constant members are protected with a per-cache irq spinlock.
*
* Many thanks to Mark Hemment, who wrote another per-cpu slab patch
* in 2000 - many ideas in the current implementation are derived from
* his patch.
*
* Further notes from the original documentation:
*
* 11 April '97. Started multi-threading - markhe
* The global cache-chain is protected by the mutex 'slab_mutex'.
* The sem is only needed when accessing/extending the cache-chain, which
* can never happen inside an interrupt (kmem_cache_create(),
* kmem_cache_shrink() and kmem_cache_reap()).
*
* At present, each engine can be growing a cache. This should be blocked.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache implementation Provide the slab cache infrastructure to support cpuset memory spreading. See the previous patches, cpuset_mem_spread, for an explanation of cpuset memory spreading. This patch provides a slab cache SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag. If set in the kmem_cache_create() call defining a slab cache, then any task marked with the process state flag PF_MEMSPREAD will spread memory page allocations for that cache over all the allowed nodes, instead of preferring the local (faulting) node. On systems not configured with CONFIG_NUMA, this results in no change to the page allocation code path for slab caches. On systems with cpusets configured in the kernel, but the "memory_spread" cpuset option not enabled for the current tasks cpuset, this adds a call to a cpuset routine and failed bit test of the processor state flag PF_SPREAD_SLAB. For tasks so marked, a second inline test is done for the slab cache flag SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, and if that is set and if the allocation is not in_interrupt(), this adds a call to to a cpuset routine that computes which of the tasks mems_allowed nodes should be preferred for this allocation. ==> This patch adds another hook into the performance critical code path to allocating objects from the slab cache, in the ____cache_alloc() chunk, below. The next patch optimizes this hook, reducing the impact of the combined mempolicy plus memory spreading hooks on this critical code path to a single check against the tasks task_struct flags word. This patch provides the generic slab flags and logic needed to apply memory spreading to a particular slab. A subsequent patch will mark a few specific slab caches for this placement policy.

[PATCH] NUMA policies in the slab allocator V2 This patch fixes a regression in 2.6.14 against 2.6.13 that causes an imbalance in memory allocation during bootup. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 is not numa aware and simply calls alloc_pages(). This means that memory policies may control the behavior of alloc_pages(). During bootup the memory policy is set to MPOL_INTERLEAVE resulting in the spreading out of allocations during bootup over all available nodes. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 has only a single list of slab pages. As a result the per cpu slab cache and the spinlock controlled page lists may contain slab entries from off node memory. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 makes no effort to discern the locality of an entry on its lists. The NUMA aware slab allocator in 2.6.14 controls locality of the slab pages explicitly by calling alloc_pages_node(). The NUMA slab allocator manages slab entries by having lists of available slab pages for each node. The per cpu slab cache can only contain slab entries associated with the node local to the processor. This guarantees that the default allocation mode of the slab allocator always assigns local memory if available. Setting MPOL_INTERLEAVE as a default policy during bootup has no effect anymore. In 2.6.14 all node unspecific slab allocations are performed on the boot processor. This means that most of key data structures are allocated on one node. Most processors will have to refer to these structures making the boot node a potential bottleneck. This may reduce performance and cause unnecessary memory pressure on the boot node. This patch implements NUMA policies in the slab layer. There is the need of explicit application of NUMA memory policies by the slab allcator itself since the NUMA slab allocator does no longer let the page_allocator control locality. The check for policies is made directly at the beginning of __cache_alloc using current->mempolicy. The memory policy is already frequently checked by the page allocator (alloc_page_vma() and alloc_page_current()). So it is highly likely that the cacheline is present. For MPOL_INTERLEAVE kmalloc() will spread out each request to one node after another so that an equal distribution of allocations can be obtained during bootup. It is not possible to push the policy check to lower layers of the NUMA slab allocator since the per cpu caches are now only containing slab entries from the current node. If the policy says that the local node is not to be preferred or forbidden then there is no point in checking the slab cache or local list of slab pages. The allocation better be directed immediately to the lists containing slab entries for the allowed set of nodes. This way of applying policy also fixes another strange behavior in 2.6.13. alloc_pages() is controlled by the memory allocation policy of the current process. It could therefore be that one process is running with MPOL_INTERLEAVE and would f.e. obtain a new page following that policy since no slab entries are in the lists anymore. A page can typically be used for multiple slab entries but lets say that the current process is only using one. The other entries are then added to the slab lists. These are now non local entries in the slab lists despite of the possible availability of local pages that would provide faster access and increase the performance of the application. Another process without MPOL_INTERLEAVE may now run and expect a local slab entry from kmalloc(). However, there are still these free slab entries from the off node page obtained from the other process via MPOL_INTERLEAVE in the cache. The process will then get an off node slab entry although other slab entries may be available that are local to that process. This means that the policy if one process may contaminate the locality of the slab caches for other processes. This patch in effect insures that a per process policy is followed for the allocation of slab entries and that there cannot be a memory policy influence from one process to another. A process with default policy will always get a local slab entry if one is available. And the process using memory policies will get its memory arranged as requested. Off-node slab allocation will require the use of spinlocks and will make the use of per cpu caches not possible. A process using memory policies to redirect allocations offnode will have to cope with additional lock overhead in addition to the latency added by the need to access a remote slab entry. Changes V1->V2 - Remove #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA by moving forward declaration into prior #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA section. - Give the function determining the node number to use a saner name.

infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

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.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some changes to allocator boostrap code. Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar: We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code: [ 0.000000] Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffcff000 [ 0.000000] EDI 00000188 ESI 00000ac7 EBP c17eaf9c ESP c17eaf8c [ 0.000000] EBX 000014e0 EDX 0000000e ECX 01856067 EAX 00000001 [ 0.000000] err 00000003 EIP c10135b1 CS 00000060 flg 00010002 [ 0.000000] Stack: c17eafa8 c17fd410 c16747bc c17eafc4 c17fd7e5 000011fd f8616000 c18237cc [ 0.000000] 00099800 c17bb000 c17eafec c17f1668 000001c5 c17f1322 c166e039 c1822bf0 [ 0.000000] c166e033 c153a014 c18237cc 00020800 c17eaff8 c17f106a 00020800 01ba5003 [ 0.000000] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-tip-02161-g7a74539-dirty #52203 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [<c15357c2>] ? printk+0x14/0x16 [ 0.000000] [<c10135b1>] ? do_test_wp_bit+0x19/0x23 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd410>] ? test_wp_bit+0x26/0x64 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd7e5>] ? mem_init+0x1ba/0x1d8 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1668>] ? start_kernel+0x164/0x2f7 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1322>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19c [ 0.000000] [<c17f106a>] ? __init_begin+0x6a/0x6f Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

Increase slab redzone to 64bits There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation. Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the first check in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks()) On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8. With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t. By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it. When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a 32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of poison value. One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit redzones in all cases.

slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocators Commit b1cb0982bdd6 ("change the management method of free objects of the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector ('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following decription. 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs. 2. determine whether it is active or not. 3. if active, print who allocate this object. but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one. This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs. Following is oops message reported from Dave. It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators (Just cat it, and you should see the oops below) Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: [snip...] CPU: 1 PID: 9386 Comm: trinity-c33 Not tainted 3.14.0-rc5+ #131 task: ffff8801aa46e890 ti: ffff880076924000 task.ti: ffff880076924000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] [<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 RSP: 0018:ffff880076925de0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 000000005ce85ce7 RDX: ffffea00079be100 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: ffff880107458000 RBP: ffff880076925e18 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffff8801e6f84000 R13: ffffea00079be100 R14: ffff880107458000 R15: ffff88022bb8d2c0 FS: 00007fb769e45740(0000) GS:ffff88024d040000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8801e6f84ff8 CR3: 00000000a22db000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000002695000 DR1: 0000000002695000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000070602 Call Trace: leaks_show+0xce/0x240 seq_read+0x28e/0x490 proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 tracesys+0xd4/0xd9 Code: f5 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 63 c8 44 3b 0c 8a 0f 84 e3 00 00 00 83 c0 01 44 39 c0 72 eb 41 f6 47 1a 01 0f 84 e9 00 00 00 89 f0 <4d> 8b 4c 04 f8 4d 85 c9 0f 84 88 00 00 00 49 8b 7e 08 4d 8d 46 RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.

slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocators Commit b1cb0982bdd6 ("change the management method of free objects of the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector ('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following decription. 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs. 2. determine whether it is active or not. 3. if active, print who allocate this object. but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one. This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs. Following is oops message reported from Dave. It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators (Just cat it, and you should see the oops below) Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: [snip...] CPU: 1 PID: 9386 Comm: trinity-c33 Not tainted 3.14.0-rc5+ #131 task: ffff8801aa46e890 ti: ffff880076924000 task.ti: ffff880076924000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] [<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 RSP: 0018:ffff880076925de0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 000000005ce85ce7 RDX: ffffea00079be100 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: ffff880107458000 RBP: ffff880076925e18 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffff8801e6f84000 R13: ffffea00079be100 R14: ffff880107458000 R15: ffff88022bb8d2c0 FS: 00007fb769e45740(0000) GS:ffff88024d040000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8801e6f84ff8 CR3: 00000000a22db000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000002695000 DR1: 0000000002695000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000070602 Call Trace: leaks_show+0xce/0x240 seq_read+0x28e/0x490 proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 tracesys+0xd4/0xd9 Code: f5 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 63 c8 44 3b 0c 8a 0f 84 e3 00 00 00 83 c0 01 44 39 c0 72 eb 41 f6 47 1a 01 0f 84 e9 00 00 00 89 f0 <4d> 8b 4c 04 f8 4d 85 c9 0f 84 88 00 00 00 49 8b 7e 08 4d 8d 46 RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

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.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate for a certain context. This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node in the slab layer. Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab is handing out memory as local when it is really remote. Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more pages to a slab. The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside of the current cpuset context like before. Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages) face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within the existing slab.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate for a certain context. This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node in the slab layer. Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab is handing out memory as local when it is really remote. Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more pages to a slab. The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside of the current cpuset context like before. Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages) face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within the existing slab.

[PATCH] NUMA policies in the slab allocator V2 This patch fixes a regression in 2.6.14 against 2.6.13 that causes an imbalance in memory allocation during bootup. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 is not numa aware and simply calls alloc_pages(). This means that memory policies may control the behavior of alloc_pages(). During bootup the memory policy is set to MPOL_INTERLEAVE resulting in the spreading out of allocations during bootup over all available nodes. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 has only a single list of slab pages. As a result the per cpu slab cache and the spinlock controlled page lists may contain slab entries from off node memory. The slab allocator in 2.6.13 makes no effort to discern the locality of an entry on its lists. The NUMA aware slab allocator in 2.6.14 controls locality of the slab pages explicitly by calling alloc_pages_node(). The NUMA slab allocator manages slab entries by having lists of available slab pages for each node. The per cpu slab cache can only contain slab entries associated with the node local to the processor. This guarantees that the default allocation mode of the slab allocator always assigns local memory if available. Setting MPOL_INTERLEAVE as a default policy during bootup has no effect anymore. In 2.6.14 all node unspecific slab allocations are performed on the boot processor. This means that most of key data structures are allocated on one node. Most processors will have to refer to these structures making the boot node a potential bottleneck. This may reduce performance and cause unnecessary memory pressure on the boot node. This patch implements NUMA policies in the slab layer. There is the need of explicit application of NUMA memory policies by the slab allcator itself since the NUMA slab allocator does no longer let the page_allocator control locality. The check for policies is made directly at the beginning of __cache_alloc using current->mempolicy. The memory policy is already frequently checked by the page allocator (alloc_page_vma() and alloc_page_current()). So it is highly likely that the cacheline is present. For MPOL_INTERLEAVE kmalloc() will spread out each request to one node after another so that an equal distribution of allocations can be obtained during bootup. It is not possible to push the policy check to lower layers of the NUMA slab allocator since the per cpu caches are now only containing slab entries from the current node. If the policy says that the local node is not to be preferred or forbidden then there is no point in checking the slab cache or local list of slab pages. The allocation better be directed immediately to the lists containing slab entries for the allowed set of nodes. This way of applying policy also fixes another strange behavior in 2.6.13. alloc_pages() is controlled by the memory allocation policy of the current process. It could therefore be that one process is running with MPOL_INTERLEAVE and would f.e. obtain a new page following that policy since no slab entries are in the lists anymore. A page can typically be used for multiple slab entries but lets say that the current process is only using one. The other entries are then added to the slab lists. These are now non local entries in the slab lists despite of the possible availability of local pages that would provide faster access and increase the performance of the application. Another process without MPOL_INTERLEAVE may now run and expect a local slab entry from kmalloc(). However, there are still these free slab entries from the off node page obtained from the other process via MPOL_INTERLEAVE in the cache. The process will then get an off node slab entry although other slab entries may be available that are local to that process. This means that the policy if one process may contaminate the locality of the slab caches for other processes. This patch in effect insures that a per process policy is followed for the allocation of slab entries and that there cannot be a memory policy influence from one process to another. A process with default policy will always get a local slab entry if one is available. And the process using memory policies will get its memory arranged as requested. Off-node slab allocation will require the use of spinlocks and will make the use of per cpu caches not possible. A process using memory policies to redirect allocations offnode will have to cope with additional lock overhead in addition to the latency added by the need to access a remote slab entry.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is not reported but on NUMA, we see this usemem 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Amean System-1 102.86 ( 0.00%) 46.81 ( 54.50%) Amean System-4 37.85 ( 0.00%) 34.02 ( 10.12%) Amean System-7 48.12 ( 0.00%) 46.89 ( 2.56%) Amean System-12 51.98 ( 0.00%) 56.96 ( -9.57%) Amean System-21 80.16 ( 0.00%) 79.05 ( 1.39%) Amean System-30 110.71 ( 0.00%) 107.17 ( 3.20%) Amean System-48 127.98 ( 0.00%) 124.83 ( 2.46%) Amean Elapsd-1 185.84 ( 0.00%) 105.51 ( 43.23%) Amean Elapsd-4 26.19 ( 0.00%) 25.58 ( 2.33%) Amean Elapsd-7 21.65 ( 0.00%) 21.62 ( 0.16%) Amean Elapsd-12 18.58 ( 0.00%) 17.94 ( 3.43%) Amean Elapsd-21 17.53 ( 0.00%) 16.60 ( 5.33%) Amean Elapsd-30 17.45 ( 0.00%) 17.13 ( 1.84%) Amean Elapsd-48 15.40 ( 0.00%) 15.27 ( 0.82%) For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.

It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is not reported but on NUMA, we see this usemem 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Amean System-1 102.86 ( 0.00%) 46.81 ( 54.50%) Amean System-4 37.85 ( 0.00%) 34.02 ( 10.12%) Amean System-7 48.12 ( 0.00%) 46.89 ( 2.56%) Amean System-12 51.98 ( 0.00%) 56.96 ( -9.57%) Amean System-21 80.16 ( 0.00%) 79.05 ( 1.39%) Amean System-30 110.71 ( 0.00%) 107.17 ( 3.20%) Amean System-48 127.98 ( 0.00%) 124.83 ( 2.46%) Amean Elapsd-1 185.84 ( 0.00%) 105.51 ( 43.23%) Amean Elapsd-4 26.19 ( 0.00%) 25.58 ( 2.33%) Amean Elapsd-7 21.65 ( 0.00%) 21.62 ( 0.16%) Amean Elapsd-12 18.58 ( 0.00%) 17.94 ( 3.43%) Amean Elapsd-21 17.53 ( 0.00%) 16.60 ( 5.33%) Amean Elapsd-30 17.45 ( 0.00%) 17.13 ( 1.84%) Amean Elapsd-48 15.40 ( 0.00%) 15.27 ( 0.82%) For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation case. Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it freely within interrupt disabled period. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to 128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill(). But, with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the same. Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50% performance improvement.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

[PATCH] NUMA slab locking fixes: fix cpu down and up locking This fixes locking and bugs in cpu_down and cpu_up paths of the NUMA slab allocator. Sonny Rao <sonny@burdell.org> reported problems sometime back on POWER5 boxes, when the last cpu on the nodes were being offlined. We could not reproduce the same on x86_64 because the cpumask (node_to_cpumask) was not being updated on cpu down. Since that issue is now fixed, we can reproduce Sonny's problems on x86_64 NUMA, and here is the fix. The problem earlier was on CPU_DOWN, if it was the last cpu on the node to go down, the array_caches (shared, alien) and the kmem_list3 of the node were being freed (kfree) with the kmem_list3 lock held. If the l3 or the array_caches were to come from the same cache being cleared, we hit on badness. This patch cleans up the locking in cpu_up and cpu_down path. We cannot really free l3 on cpu down because, there is no node offlining yet and even though a cpu is not yet up, node local memory can be allocated for it. So l3s are usually allocated at keme_cache_create and destroyed at kmem_cache_destroy. Hence, we don't need cachep->spinlock protection to get to the cachep->nodelist[nodeid] either. Patch survived onlining and offlining on a 4 core 2 node Tyan box with a 4 dbench process running all the time.

[PATCH] mm: slab: eliminate lock_cpu_hotplug from slab Here's an attempt towards doing away with lock_cpu_hotplug in the slab subsystem. This approach also fixes a bug which shows up when cpus are being offlined/onlined and slab caches are being tuned simultaneously. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116098888100481&w=2 The patch has been stress tested overnight on a 2 socket 4 core AMD box with repeated cpu online and offline, while dbench and kernbench process are running, and slab caches being tuned at the same time. There were no lockdep warnings either. (This test on 2,6.18 as 2.6.19-rc crashes at __drain_pages http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=116172164217678&w=2 ) The approach here is to hold cache_chain_mutex from CPU_UP_PREPARE until CPU_ONLINE (similar in approach as worqueue_mutex) . Slab code sensitive to cpu_online_map (kmem_cache_create, kmem_cache_destroy, slabinfo_write, __cache_shrink) is already serialized with cache_chain_mutex. (This patch lengthens cache_chain_mutex hold time at kmem_cache_destroy to cover this). This patch also takes the cache_chain_sem at kmem_cache_shrink to protect sanity of cpu_online_map at __cache_shrink, as viewed by slab. (kmem_cache_shrink->__cache_shrink->drain_cpu_caches). But, really, kmem_cache_shrink is used at just one place in the acpi subsystem! Do we really need to keep kmem_cache_shrink at all? Another note. Looks like a cpu hotplug event can send CPU_UP_CANCELED to a registered subsystem even if the subsystem did not receive CPU_UP_PREPARE. This could be due to a subsystem registered for notification earlier than the current subsystem crapping out with NOTIFY_BAD. Badness can occur with in the CPU_UP_CANCELED code path at slab if this happens (The same would apply for workqueue.c as well). To overcome this, we might have to use either a) a per subsystem flag and avoid handling of CPU_UP_CANCELED, or b) Use a special notifier events like LOCK_ACQUIRE/RELEASE as Gautham was using in his experiments, or c) Do not send CPU_UP_CANCELED to a subsystem which did not receive CPU_UP_PREPARE. I would prefer c).

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc. Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram. w/o patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 485.36 100 485.3640 11.99 1.91 Sat Apr 30 14:01:51 2005 100 26582.63 88 265.8263 21.89 144.96 Sat Apr 30 14:02:14 2005 200 29866.83 81 149.3342 38.97 286.08 Sat Apr 30 14:02:53 2005 300 33127.16 78 110.4239 52.71 426.54 Sat Apr 30 14:03:46 2005 400 34889.47 80 87.2237 66.72 568.90 Sat Apr 30 14:04:53 2005 500 35654.34 76 71.3087 81.62 714.55 Sat Apr 30 14:06:15 2005 600 36460.83 75 60.7681 95.77 853.42 Sat Apr 30 14:07:51 2005 700 35957.00 75 51.3671 113.30 990.67 Sat Apr 30 14:09:45 2005 800 33380.65 73 41.7258 139.48 1140.86 Sat Apr 30 14:12:05 2005 900 35095.01 76 38.9945 149.25 1281.30 Sat Apr 30 14:14:35 2005 1000 36094.37 74 36.0944 161.24 1419.66 Sat Apr 30 14:17:17 2005 w/patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 484.27 100 484.2736 12.02 1.93 Sat Apr 30 15:59:45 2005 100 28262.03 90 282.6203 20.59 143.57 Sat Apr 30 16:00:06 2005 200 32246.45 82 161.2322 36.10 282.89 Sat Apr 30 16:00:42 2005 300 37945.80 83 126.4860 46.01 418.75 Sat Apr 30 16:01:28 2005 400 40000.69 81 100.0017 58.20 561.48 Sat Apr 30 16:02:27 2005 500 40976.10 78 81.9522 71.02 696.95 Sat Apr 30 16:03:38 2005 600 41121.54 78 68.5359 84.92 834.86 Sat Apr 30 16:05:04 2005 700 44052.77 78 62.9325 92.48 971.53 Sat Apr 30 16:06:37 2005 800 41066.89 79 51.3336 113.38 1111.15 Sat Apr 30 16:08:31 2005 900 38918.77 79 43.2431 134.59 1252.57 Sat Apr 30 16:10:46 2005 1000 41842.21 76 41.8422 139.09 1392.33 Sat Apr 30 16:13:05 2005 These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater improvement than 5%.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

slab: correct size_index table before replacing the bootstrap kmem_cache_node 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.

/* 5) Replace the bootstrap kmem_cache_node */
[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc. Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram. w/o patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 485.36 100 485.3640 11.99 1.91 Sat Apr 30 14:01:51 2005 100 26582.63 88 265.8263 21.89 144.96 Sat Apr 30 14:02:14 2005 200 29866.83 81 149.3342 38.97 286.08 Sat Apr 30 14:02:53 2005 300 33127.16 78 110.4239 52.71 426.54 Sat Apr 30 14:03:46 2005 400 34889.47 80 87.2237 66.72 568.90 Sat Apr 30 14:04:53 2005 500 35654.34 76 71.3087 81.62 714.55 Sat Apr 30 14:06:15 2005 600 36460.83 75 60.7681 95.77 853.42 Sat Apr 30 14:07:51 2005 700 35957.00 75 51.3671 113.30 990.67 Sat Apr 30 14:09:45 2005 800 33380.65 73 41.7258 139.48 1140.86 Sat Apr 30 14:12:05 2005 900 35095.01 76 38.9945 149.25 1281.30 Sat Apr 30 14:14:35 2005 1000 36094.37 74 36.0944 161.24 1419.66 Sat Apr 30 14:17:17 2005 w/patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 484.27 100 484.2736 12.02 1.93 Sat Apr 30 15:59:45 2005 100 28262.03 90 282.6203 20.59 143.57 Sat Apr 30 16:00:06 2005 200 32246.45 82 161.2322 36.10 282.89 Sat Apr 30 16:00:42 2005 300 37945.80 83 126.4860 46.01 418.75 Sat Apr 30 16:01:28 2005 400 40000.69 81 100.0017 58.20 561.48 Sat Apr 30 16:02:27 2005 500 40976.10 78 81.9522 71.02 696.95 Sat Apr 30 16:03:38 2005 600 41121.54 78 68.5359 84.92 834.86 Sat Apr 30 16:05:04 2005 700 44052.77 78 62.9325 92.48 971.53 Sat Apr 30 16:06:37 2005 800 41066.89 79 51.3336 113.38 1111.15 Sat Apr 30 16:08:31 2005 900 38918.77 79 43.2431 134.59 1252.57 Sat Apr 30 16:10:46 2005 1000 41842.21 76 41.8422 139.09 1392.33 Sat Apr 30 16:13:05 2005 These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater improvement than 5%.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate for a certain context. This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node in the slab layer. Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab is handing out memory as local when it is really remote. Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more pages to a slab. The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside of the current cpuset context like before. Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages) face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within the existing slab.

mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

memcg: unify slab and other kmem pages charging 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.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page Currently, the freelist is at the front of slab page. This requires extra space to meet object alignment requirement. If we put the freelist at the end of a slab page, objects could start at page boundary and will be at correct alignment. This is possible because freelist has no alignment constraint itself. This gives us two benefits: It removes extra memory space for the freelist alignment and remove complex calculation at cache initialization step. I can't think notable drawback here. I mentioned that this would reduce extra memory space, but, this benefit is rather theoretical because it can be applied to very few cases. Following is the example cache type that can get benefit from this change. size align num before after 32 8 124 4100 4092 64 8 63 4103 4095 88 8 46 4102 4094 272 8 15 4103 4095 408 8 10 4098 4090 32 16 124 4108 4092 64 16 63 4111 4095 32 32 124 4124 4092 64 32 63 4127 4095 96 32 42 4106 4074 before means whole size for objects and aligned freelist before applying patch and after shows the result of this patch. Since before is more than 4096, number of object should decrease and memory waste happens. Anyway, this patch removes complex calculation so looks beneficial to me.

[PATCH] slab.c: fix offslab_limit bug mm/slab.c's offlab_limit logic is totally broken. Firstly, "offslab_limit" is a global variable while it should either be calculated in situ or should be passed in as a parameter. Secondly, the more serious problem with it is that the condition for calculating it: if (!(OFF_SLAB(sizes->cs_cachep))) { offslab_limit = sizes->cs_size - sizeof(struct slab); offslab_limit /= sizeof(kmem_bufctl_t); is in total disconnect with the condition that makes use of it: /* More than offslab_limit objects will cause problems */ if ((flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB) && num > offslab_limit) break; but due to offslab_limit being a global variable this breakage was hidden. Up until lockdep came along and perturbed the slab sizes sufficiently so that the first off-slab cache would still see a (non-calculated) zero value for offslab_limit and would panic with: kmem_cache_create: couldn't create cache size-512. Call Trace: [<ffffffff8020a5b9>] show_trace+0x96/0x1c8 [<ffffffff8020a8f0>] dump_stack+0x13/0x15 [<ffffffff8022994f>] panic+0x39/0x21a [<ffffffff80270814>] kmem_cache_create+0x5a0/0x5d0 [<ffffffff80aced62>] kmem_cache_init+0x193/0x379 [<ffffffff80abf779>] start_kernel+0x17f/0x218 [<ffffffff80abf263>] _sinittext+0x263/0x26a Kernel panic - not syncing: kmem_cache_create(): failed to create slab `size-512' Paolo Ornati's config on x86_64 managed to trigger it. The fix is to move the calculation to the place that makes use of it. This also makes slab.o 54 bytes smaller. Btw., the check itself is quite silly.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: fix unexpected index mapping result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE+1) Commit description is copied from the original post of this bug: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/135349 Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping. In kernels 3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size. However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG(). The mapping table in the latest kernel is like: index = {0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, n} size = {0, 96, 192, 8, 16, 32, 64, 2^n} The mapping table before 3.10 is like this: index = {0 , 1 , 2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, n} size = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)} The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows: (1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC && DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150", and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node)) (2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8. (3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size = PAGE_SIZE". (4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and "flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered. (5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to "cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result here may be NULL while kernel bootup. (6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem): This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in mapping table.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: fix the theoretical race by holding proper lock While processing concurrent allocation, SLAB could be contended a lot because it did a lots of work with holding a lock. This patchset try to reduce the number of critical section to reduce lock contention. Major changes are lockless decision to allocate more slab and lockless cpu cache refill from the newly allocated slab. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=365/806 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/690 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=736/886 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1167/985 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=2088/1125 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=4115/1184 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=8451/1748 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=16024/2048 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that performance improves greatly (roughly more than 50%) for the object class whose size is more than 128 bytes. This patch (of 11): If we don't hold neither the slab_mutex nor the node lock, node's shared array cache could be freed and re-populated. If __kmem_cache_shrink() is called at the same time, it will call drain_array() with n->shared without holding node lock so problem can happen. This patch fix the situation by holding the node lock before trying to drain the shared array. In addition, add a debug check to confirm that n->shared access race doesn't exist.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: fix the theoretical race by holding proper lock While processing concurrent allocation, SLAB could be contended a lot because it did a lots of work with holding a lock. This patchset try to reduce the number of critical section to reduce lock contention. Major changes are lockless decision to allocate more slab and lockless cpu cache refill from the newly allocated slab. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=365/806 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/690 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=736/886 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1167/985 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=2088/1125 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=4115/1184 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=8451/1748 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=16024/2048 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that performance improves greatly (roughly more than 50%) for the object class whose size is more than 128 bytes.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately 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.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm: SLAB freelist randomization Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB. Performance results highlighted no major changes: Hackbench (running 90 10 times): Before average: 0.0698 After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%) slab_test 1 run on boot. Difference only seen on the 2048 size test being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization. New slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.

mm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page Currently, the freelist is at the front of slab page. This requires extra space to meet object alignment requirement. If we put the freelist at the end of a slab page, objects could start at page boundary and will be at correct alignment. This is possible because freelist has no alignment constraint itself. This gives us two benefits: It removes extra memory space for the freelist alignment and remove complex calculation at cache initialization step. I can't think notable drawback here.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

slab: fix the type of the index on freelist index accessor Commit a41adfaa23df ("slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab") changes the size of freelist index and also changes prototype of accessor function to freelist index. And there was a mistake. The mistake is that although it changes the size of freelist index correctly, it changes the size of the index of freelist index incorrectly. With patch, freelist index can be 1 byte or 2 bytes, that means that num of object on on a slab can be more than 255. So we need more than 1 byte for the index to find the index of free object on freelist. But, above patch makes this index type 1 byte, so slab which have more than 255 objects cannot work properly and in consequence of it, the system cannot boot. This issue was reported by Steven King on m68knommu which would use 2 bytes freelist index: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/16/433 To fix is easy. To change the type of the index of freelist index on accessor functions is enough to fix this bug. Although 2 bytes is enough, I use 4 bytes since it have no bad effect and make things more easier.

slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slab Currently, the freelist of a slab consist of unsigned int sized indexes. Since most of slabs have less number of objects than 256, large sized indexes is needless. For example, consider the minimum kmalloc slab. It's object size is 32 byte and it would consist of one page, so 256 indexes through byte sized index are enough to contain all possible indexes. There can be some slabs whose object size is 8 byte. We cannot handle this case with byte sized index, so we need to restrict minimum object size. Since these slabs are not major, wasted memory from these slabs would be negligible. Some architectures' page size isn't 4096 bytes and rather larger than 4096 bytes (One example is 64KB page size on PPC or IA64) so that byte sized index doesn't fit to them.

mm: SLAB freelist randomization Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB. Performance results highlighted no major changes: Hackbench (running 90 10 times): Before average: 0.0698 After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%) slab_test 1 run on boot.

mm: SLAB freelist randomization Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB.

mm: SLAB freelist randomization Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages. The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will be extended to other allocators like SLUB.

mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomization 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.

mm: SLAB freelist randomization Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize the SLAB freelist. The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are generated dynamically. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB) would be affected: https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/ Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB. It means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly discussed. A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple use-after-free. This feature makes this type of attack harder too. To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of entropy is available in the boot stage. In the worse case this function will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API. We also generate a shift random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.

In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

Categorize GFP flags The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear. In order to clear up the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP flags: GFP_RECLAIM_MASK Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior. GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK Flags used to limit where allocations can occur. GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on. These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in vmalloc.c. The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter gather lists. Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the page allocator. __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator. Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. SLAB already removes the __GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations. Generalize that to also cover vmalloc. The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL. The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only referenced on alloc and free. The attempt is still made to place the meta data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc (SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that). Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc. Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram. w/o patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 485.36 100 485.3640 11.99 1.91 Sat Apr 30 14:01:51 2005 100 26582.63 88 265.8263 21.89 144.96 Sat Apr 30 14:02:14 2005 200 29866.83 81 149.3342 38.97 286.08 Sat Apr 30 14:02:53 2005 300 33127.16 78 110.4239 52.71 426.54 Sat Apr 30 14:03:46 2005 400 34889.47 80 87.2237 66.72 568.90 Sat Apr 30 14:04:53 2005 500 35654.34 76 71.3087 81.62 714.55 Sat Apr 30 14:06:15 2005 600 36460.83 75 60.7681 95.77 853.42 Sat Apr 30 14:07:51 2005 700 35957.00 75 51.3671 113.30 990.67 Sat Apr 30 14:09:45 2005 800 33380.65 73 41.7258 139.48 1140.86 Sat Apr 30 14:12:05 2005 900 35095.01 76 38.9945 149.25 1281.30 Sat Apr 30 14:14:35 2005 1000 36094.37 74 36.0944 161.24 1419.66 Sat Apr 30 14:17:17 2005 w/patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 484.27 100 484.2736 12.02 1.93 Sat Apr 30 15:59:45 2005 100 28262.03 90 282.6203 20.59 143.57 Sat Apr 30 16:00:06 2005 200 32246.45 82 161.2322 36.10 282.89 Sat Apr 30 16:00:42 2005 300 37945.80 83 126.4860 46.01 418.75 Sat Apr 30 16:01:28 2005 400 40000.69 81 100.0017 58.20 561.48 Sat Apr 30 16:02:27 2005 500 40976.10 78 81.9522 71.02 696.95 Sat Apr 30 16:03:38 2005 600 41121.54 78 68.5359 84.92 834.86 Sat Apr 30 16:05:04 2005 700 44052.77 78 62.9325 92.48 971.53 Sat Apr 30 16:06:37 2005 800 41066.89 79 51.3336 113.38 1111.15 Sat Apr 30 16:08:31 2005 900 38918.77 79 43.2431 134.59 1252.57 Sat Apr 30 16:10:46 2005 1000 41842.21 76 41.8422 139.09 1392.33 Sat Apr 30 16:13:05 2005 These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater improvement than 5%.

mm/slab: racy access/modify the slab color Slab color isn't needed to be changed strictly. Because locking for changing slab color could cause more lock contention so this patch implements racy access/modify the slab color. This is a preparation step to implement lockless allocation path when there is no free objects in the kmem_cache. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=365/806 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/690 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=736/886 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1167/985 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=2088/1125 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=4115/1184 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=8451/1748 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=16024/2048 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=355/750 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/812 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=559/1070 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1176/980 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1939/1189 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=3521/1278 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=7152/1838 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=13438/2013 It shows that contention is reduced for object size >= 1024 and performance increases by roughly 15%.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109. I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss. Kmalloc: Repeatedly allocate then free test /Before/ [ 0.286809] 1.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Increase slab redzone to 64bits There are two problems with the existing redzone implementation. Firstly, it's causing misalignment of structures which contain a 64-bit integer, such as netfilter's 'struct ipt_entry' -- causing netfilter modules to fail to load because of the misalignment. (In particular, the first check in net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c::check_entry_size_and_hooks()) On ppc32 and sparc32, amongst others, __alignof__(uint64_t) == 8. With slab debugging, we use 32-bit redzones. And allocated slab objects aren't sufficiently aligned to hold a structure containing a uint64_t. By _just_ setting ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to __alignof__(u64) we'd disable redzone checks on those architectures. By using 64-bit redzones we avoid that loss of debugging, and also fix the other problem while we're at it. When investigating this, I noticed that on 64-bit platforms we're using a 32-bit value of RED_ACTIVE/RED_INACTIVE in the 64-bit memory location set aside for the redzone. Which means that the four bytes immediately before or after the allocated object at 0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 for LE and BE machines, respectively. Which is probably not the most useful choice of poison value. One way to fix both of those at once is just to switch to 64-bit redzones in all cases.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.

It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=355/750 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/812 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=559/1070 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1176/980 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1939/1189 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=3521/1278 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=7152/1838 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=13438/2013 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 It shows that contention is reduced for all the object sizes and performance increases by 30 ~ 40%.

mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation case. Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it freely within interrupt disabled period. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to 128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill().

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation case. Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it freely within interrupt disabled period. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=355/750 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/812 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=559/1070 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1176/980 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1939/1189 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=3521/1278 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=7152/1838 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=13438/2013 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 It shows that contention is reduced for all the object sizes and performance increases by 30 ~ 40%.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109.

mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a lock. But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap it. So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to hold a lock. This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation case. Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it freely within interrupt disabled period. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to 128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill(). But, with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the same. Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50% performance improvement.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=355/750 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/812 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=559/1070 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1176/980 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1939/1189 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=3521/1278 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=7152/1838 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=13438/2013 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 It shows that contention is reduced for all the object sizes and performance increases by 30 ~ 40%.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler. The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=355/750 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/812 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=559/1070 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1176/980 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1939/1189 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=3521/1278 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=7152/1838 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=13438/2013 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078 It shows that contention is reduced for all the object sizes and performance increases by 30 ~ 40%.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

slab: fix oops when reading /proc/slab_allocators Commit b1cb0982bdd6 ("change the management method of free objects of the slab") introduced a bug on slab leak detector ('/proc/slab_allocators'). This detector works like as following decription. 1. traverse all objects on all the slabs. 2. determine whether it is active or not. 3. if active, print who allocate this object. but that commit changed the way how to manage free objects, so the logic determining whether it is active or not is also changed. In before, we regard object in cpu caches as inactive one, but, with this commit, we mistakenly regard object in cpu caches as active one. This intoduces kernel oops if DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled. If DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is enabled, kernel_map_pages() is used to detect who corrupt free memory in the slab. It unmaps page table mapping if object is free and map it if object is active. When slab leak detector check object in cpu caches, it mistakenly think this object active so try to access object memory to retrieve caller of allocation. At this point, page table mapping to this object doesn't exist, so oops occurs. Following is oops message reported from Dave. It blew up when something tried to read /proc/slab_allocators (Just cat it, and you should see the oops below) Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Modules linked in: [snip...] CPU: 1 PID: 9386 Comm: trinity-c33 Not tainted 3.14.0-rc5+ #131 task: ffff8801aa46e890 ti: ffff880076924000 task.ti: ffff880076924000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] [<ffffffffaa1a8f4a>] handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 RSP: 0018:ffff880076925de0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 000000005ce85ce7 RDX: ffffea00079be100 RSI: 0000000000001000 RDI: ffff880107458000 RBP: ffff880076925e18 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000000000000f R12: ffff8801e6f84000 R13: ffffea00079be100 R14: ffff880107458000 R15: ffff88022bb8d2c0 FS: 00007fb769e45740(0000) GS:ffff88024d040000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: ffff8801e6f84ff8 CR3: 00000000a22db000 CR4: 00000000001407e0 DR0: 0000000002695000 DR1: 0000000002695000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000070602 Call Trace: leaks_show+0xce/0x240 seq_read+0x28e/0x490 proc_reg_read+0x3d/0x80 vfs_read+0x9b/0x160 SyS_read+0x58/0xb0 tracesys+0xd4/0xd9 Code: f5 00 00 00 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 63 c8 44 3b 0c 8a 0f 84 e3 00 00 00 83 c0 01 44 39 c0 72 eb 41 f6 47 1a 01 0f 84 e9 00 00 00 89 f0 <4d> 8b 4c 04 f8 4d 85 c9 0f 84 88 00 00 00 49 8b 7e 08 4d 8d 46 RIP handle_slab+0x8a/0x180 To fix the problem, I introduce an object status buffer on each slab.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate for a certain context. This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node in the slab layer. Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab is handing out memory as local when it is really remote. Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more pages to a slab. The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside of the current cpuset context like before. Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages) face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within the existing slab.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

cpusets: new round-robin rotor for SLAB allocations We have observed several workloads running on multi-node systems where memory is assigned unevenly across the nodes in the system. There are numerous reasons for this but one is the round-robin rotor in cpuset_mem_spread_node(). For example, a simple test that writes a multi-page file will allocate pages on nodes 0 2 4 6 ... Odd nodes are skipped. (Sometimes it allocates on odd nodes & skips even nodes). An example is shown below. The program "lfile" writes a file consisting of 10 pages. The program then mmaps the file & uses get_mempolicy(..., MPOL_F_NODE) to determine the nodes where the file pages were allocated. The output is shown below: # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 2 4 6 0 1 2 6 0 2 There is a single rotor that is used for allocating both file pages & slab pages. Writing the file allocates both a data page & a slab page (buffer_head). This advances the RR rotor 2 nodes for each page allocated. A quick confirmation seems to confirm this is the cause of the uneven allocation: # echo 0 >/dev/cpuset/memory_spread_slab # ./lfile allocated on nodes: 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 This patch introduces a second rotor that is used for slab allocations.

[PATCH] slab: better fallback allocation behavior Currently we simply attempt to allocate from all allowed nodes using GFP_THISNODE. However, GFP_THISNODE does not do reclaim (it wont do any at all if the recent GFP_THISNODE patch is accepted). If we truly run out of memory in the whole system then fallback_alloc may return NULL although memory may still be available if we would perform more thorough reclaim. This patch changes fallback_alloc() so that we first only inspect all the per node queues for available slabs. If we find any then we allocate from those. This avoids slab fragmentation by first getting rid of all partial allocated slabs on every node before allocating new memory. If we cannot satisfy the allocation from any per node queue then we extend a slab. We now call into the page allocator without specifying GFP_THISNODE. The page allocator will then implement its own fallback (in the given cpuset context), perform necessary reclaim (again considering not a single node but the whole set of allowed nodes) and then return pages for a new slab. We identify from which node the pages were allocated and then insert the pages into the corresponding per node structure. In order to do so we need to modify cache_grow() to take a parameter that specifies the new slab. kmem_getpages() can no longer set the GFP_THISNODE flag since we need to be able to use kmem_getpage to allocate from an arbitrary node. GFP_THISNODE needs to be specified when calling cache_grow(). One key advantage is that the decision from which node to allocate new memory is removed from slab fallback processing.

mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side.

[PATCH] slab: better fallback allocation behavior Currently we simply attempt to allocate from all allowed nodes using GFP_THISNODE. However, GFP_THISNODE does not do reclaim (it wont do any at all if the recent GFP_THISNODE patch is accepted). If we truly run out of memory in the whole system then fallback_alloc may return NULL although memory may still be available if we would perform more thorough reclaim. This patch changes fallback_alloc() so that we first only inspect all the per node queues for available slabs. If we find any then we allocate from those. This avoids slab fragmentation by first getting rid of all partial allocated slabs on every node before allocating new memory. If we cannot satisfy the allocation from any per node queue then we extend a slab. We now call into the page allocator without specifying GFP_THISNODE. The page allocator will then implement its own fallback (in the given cpuset context), perform necessary reclaim (again considering not a single node but the whole set of allowed nodes) and then return pages for a new slab. We identify from which node the pages were allocated and then insert the pages into the corresponding per node structure. In order to do so we need to modify cache_grow() to take a parameter that specifies the new slab. kmem_getpages() can no longer set the GFP_THISNODE flag since we need to be able to use kmem_getpage to allocate from an arbitrary node. GFP_THISNODE needs to be specified when calling cache_grow(). One key advantage is that the decision from which node to allocate new memory is removed from slab fallback processing. The patch allows to go back to use of the page allocators fallback/reclaim logic.

slab: fix cpuset check in fallback_alloc fallback_alloc is called on kmalloc if the preferred node doesn't have free or partial slabs and there's no pages on the node's free list (GFP_THISNODE allocations fail). Before invoking the reclaimer it tries to locate a free or partial slab on other allowed nodes' lists. While iterating over the preferred node's zonelist it skips those zones which hardwall cpuset check returns false for. That means that for a task bound to a specific node using cpusets fallback_alloc will always ignore free slabs on other nodes and go directly to the reclaimer, which, however, may allocate from other nodes if cpuset.mem_hardwall is unset (default). As a result, we may get lists of free slabs grow without bounds on other nodes, which is bad, because inactive slabs are only evicted by cache_reap at a very slow rate and cannot be dropped forcefully. To reproduce the issue, run a process that will walk over a directory tree with lots of files inside a cpuset bound to a node that constantly experiences memory pressure. Look at num_slabs vs active_slabs growth as reported by /proc/slabinfo. To avoid this we should use softwall cpuset check in fallback_alloc.

mm: remove GFP_THISNODE NOTE: this is not about __GFP_THISNODE, this is only about GFP_THISNODE. GFP_THISNODE is a secret combination of gfp bits that have different behavior than expected. It is a combination of __GFP_THISNODE, __GFP_NORETRY, and __GFP_NOWARN and is special-cased in the page allocator slowpath to fail without trying reclaim even though it may be used in combination with __GFP_WAIT. An example of the problem this creates: commit e97ca8e5b864 ("mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify") fixed up many users of GFP_THISNODE that really just wanted __GFP_THISNODE. The problem doesn't end there, however, because even it was a no-op for alloc_misplaced_dst_page(), which also sets __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN, and migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page(), where __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWAIT is set in GFP_TRANSHUGE. Converting GFP_THISNODE to __GFP_THISNODE is a no-op in these cases since the page allocator special-cases __GFP_THISNODE && __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN. It's time to just remove GFP_THISNODE entirely. We leave __GFP_THISNODE to restrict an allocation to a local node, but remove GFP_THISNODE and its obscurity. Instead, we require that a caller clear __GFP_WAIT if it wants to avoid reclaim. This allows the aforementioned functions to actually reclaim as they should. It also enables any future callers that want to do __GFP_THISNODE but also __GFP_NORETRY && __GFP_NOWARN to reclaim. The rule is simple: if you don't want to reclaim, then don't set __GFP_WAIT. Aside: ovs_flow_stats_update() really wants to avoid reclaim as well, so it is unchanged.

In order to do so we need to modify cache_grow() to take a parameter that specifies the new slab. kmem_getpages() can no longer set the GFP_THISNODE flag since we need to be able to use kmem_getpage to allocate from an arbitrary node. GFP_THISNODE needs to be specified when calling cache_grow(). One key advantage is that the decision from which node to allocate new memory is removed from slab fallback processing. The patch allows to go back to use of the page allocators fallback/reclaim logic.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

[PATCH] GFP_THISNODE for the slab allocator This patch insures that the slab node lists in the NUMA case only contain slabs that belong to that specific node. All slab allocations use GFP_THISNODE when calling into the page allocator. If an allocation fails then we fall back in the slab allocator according to the zonelists appropriate for a certain context. This allows a replication of the behavior of alloc_pages and alloc_pages node in the slab layer. Currently allocations requested from the page allocator may be redirected via cpusets to other nodes. This results in remote pages on nodelists and that in turn results in interrupt latency issues during cache draining. Plus the slab is handing out memory as local when it is really remote. Fallback for slab memory allocations will occur within the slab allocator and not in the page allocator. This is necessary in order to be able to use the existing pools of objects on the nodes that we fall back to before adding more pages to a slab. The fallback function insures that the nodes we fall back to obey cpuset restrictions of the current context. We do not allocate objects from outside of the current cpuset context like before. Note that the implementation of locality constraints within the slab allocator requires importing logic from the page allocator. This is a mischmash that is not that great. Other allocators (uncached allocator, vmalloc, huge pages) face similar problems and have similar minimal reimplementations of the basic fallback logic of the page allocator. There is another way of implementing a slab by avoiding per node lists (see modular slab) but this wont work within the existing slab.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler.

mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab. It is only used if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this array. This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need. Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is created. Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in order to handle debugging feature efficiently. If you want to see core idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch. Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a constructor. If such cache's object is used for management array, constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to user. I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea doesn't applied to them at least now. For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by following logic. 1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB. 2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array. 3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB. It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste happens. 4) others become NORMAL_SLAB. It uses dedicated internal memory in a slab as a management array so it causes memory waste. In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste memory. Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab management type. TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF /Before/ 126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41 /After/ 126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2 Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase from 60 to 109.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

slab: fix nodeid bounds check for non-contiguous node IDs The bounds check for nodeid in ____cache_alloc_node gives false positives on machines where the node IDs are not contiguous, leading to a panic at boot time. For example, on a POWER8 machine the node IDs are typically 0, 1, 16 and 17. This means that num_online_nodes() returns 4, so when ____cache_alloc_node is called with nodeid = 16 the VM_BUG_ON triggers, like this: kernel BUG at /home/paulus/kernel/kvm/mm/slab.c:3079! Call Trace: .____cache_alloc_node+0x5c/0x270 (unreliable) .kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace+0xdc/0x360 .init_list+0x3c/0x128 .kmem_cache_init+0x1dc/0x258 .start_kernel+0x2a0/0x568 start_here_common+0x20/0xa8 To fix this, we instead compare the nodeid with MAX_NUMNODES, and additionally make sure it isn't negative (since nodeid is an int). The check is there mainly to protect the array dereference in the get_node() call in the next line, and the array being dereferenced is of size MAX_NUMNODES. If the nodeid is in range but invalid (for example if the node is off-line), the BUG_ON in the next line will catch that.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

It can remove memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit. So, this patch doesn't include it.

mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then we can allocate free objects from it. This necessarily requires to hold a node lock which is very contended. If we refill cpu cache before attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to the current task. This will reduce lock contention. Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago. I make the output simpler.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages 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.

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.

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.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc. Test run on a 32p systems with 32G Ram. w/o patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 485.36 100 485.3640 11.99 1.91 Sat Apr 30 14:01:51 2005 100 26582.63 88 265.8263 21.89 144.96 Sat Apr 30 14:02:14 2005 200 29866.83 81 149.3342 38.97 286.08 Sat Apr 30 14:02:53 2005 300 33127.16 78 110.4239 52.71 426.54 Sat Apr 30 14:03:46 2005 400 34889.47 80 87.2237 66.72 568.90 Sat Apr 30 14:04:53 2005 500 35654.34 76 71.3087 81.62 714.55 Sat Apr 30 14:06:15 2005 600 36460.83 75 60.7681 95.77 853.42 Sat Apr 30 14:07:51 2005 700 35957.00 75 51.3671 113.30 990.67 Sat Apr 30 14:09:45 2005 800 33380.65 73 41.7258 139.48 1140.86 Sat Apr 30 14:12:05 2005 900 35095.01 76 38.9945 149.25 1281.30 Sat Apr 30 14:14:35 2005 1000 36094.37 74 36.0944 161.24 1419.66 Sat Apr 30 14:17:17 2005 w/patch Tasks jobs/min jti jobs/min/task real cpu 1 484.27 100 484.2736 12.02 1.93 Sat Apr 30 15:59:45 2005 100 28262.03 90 282.6203 20.59 143.57 Sat Apr 30 16:00:06 2005 200 32246.45 82 161.2322 36.10 282.89 Sat Apr 30 16:00:42 2005 300 37945.80 83 126.4860 46.01 418.75 Sat Apr 30 16:01:28 2005 400 40000.69 81 100.0017 58.20 561.48 Sat Apr 30 16:02:27 2005 500 40976.10 78 81.9522 71.02 696.95 Sat Apr 30 16:03:38 2005 600 41121.54 78 68.5359 84.92 834.86 Sat Apr 30 16:05:04 2005 700 44052.77 78 62.9325 92.48 971.53 Sat Apr 30 16:06:37 2005 800 41066.89 79 51.3336 113.38 1111.15 Sat Apr 30 16:08:31 2005 900 38918.77 79 43.2431 134.59 1252.57 Sat Apr 30 16:10:46 2005 1000 41842.21 76 41.8422 139.09 1392.33 Sat Apr 30 16:13:05 2005 These are measurement taken directly after boot and show a greater improvement than 5%.

mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation 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.

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.

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems. 1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache. So, pfmemalloc_active could be wrongly cleared. 2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc object are not found in cpu cache. Instead, allocating new slab happens and it is not optimal. 3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC. It isn't cleared if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem. 4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow down non-pfmemalloc allocation. To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one. Design principle for new implementation is that 1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled. It's more likely case than pfmemalloc allocation. 2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation. 3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory deficiency state. As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be handled in slow-path. If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects will be kept as long as possible.

infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory objects not bound to a single kmem_cache. Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is available from the object's page->slab_cache. Proposing to remove the kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API. Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a performance cost. It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow. The extra cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow. Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly easily. Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a kmem_cache NULL pointer. This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more. Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

slab: propagate tunable values 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>

slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some changes to allocator boostrap code. Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar: We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code: [ 0.000000] Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffcff000 [ 0.000000] EDI 00000188 ESI 00000ac7 EBP c17eaf9c ESP c17eaf8c [ 0.000000] EBX 000014e0 EDX 0000000e ECX 01856067 EAX 00000001 [ 0.000000] err 00000003 EIP c10135b1 CS 00000060 flg 00010002 [ 0.000000] Stack: c17eafa8 c17fd410 c16747bc c17eafc4 c17fd7e5 000011fd f8616000 c18237cc [ 0.000000] 00099800 c17bb000 c17eafec c17f1668 000001c5 c17f1322 c166e039 c1822bf0 [ 0.000000] c166e033 c153a014 c18237cc 00020800 c17eaff8 c17f106a 00020800 01ba5003 [ 0.000000] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-tip-02161-g7a74539-dirty #52203 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [<c15357c2>] ? printk+0x14/0x16 [ 0.000000] [<c10135b1>] ? do_test_wp_bit+0x19/0x23 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd410>] ? test_wp_bit+0x26/0x64 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd7e5>] ? mem_init+0x1ba/0x1d8 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1668>] ? start_kernel+0x164/0x2f7 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1322>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19c [ 0.000000] [<c17f106a>] ? __init_begin+0x6a/0x6f Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

slab: propagate tunable values 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.

Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar: We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code: [ 0.000000] Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffcff000 [ 0.000000] EDI 00000188 ESI 00000ac7 EBP c17eaf9c ESP c17eaf8c [ 0.000000] EBX 000014e0 EDX 0000000e ECX 01856067 EAX 00000001 [ 0.000000] err 00000003 EIP c10135b1 CS 00000060 flg 00010002 [ 0.000000] Stack: c17eafa8 c17fd410 c16747bc c17eafc4 c17fd7e5 000011fd f8616000 c18237cc [ 0.000000] 00099800 c17bb000 c17eafec c17f1668 000001c5 c17f1322 c166e039 c1822bf0 [ 0.000000] c166e033 c153a014 c18237cc 00020800 c17eaff8 c17f106a 00020800 01ba5003 [ 0.000000] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-tip-02161-g7a74539-dirty #52203 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [<c15357c2>] ? printk+0x14/0x16 [ 0.000000] [<c10135b1>] ? do_test_wp_bit+0x19/0x23 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd410>] ? test_wp_bit+0x26/0x64 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd7e5>] ? mem_init+0x1ba/0x1d8 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1668>] ? start_kernel+0x164/0x2f7 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1322>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19c [ 0.000000] [<c17f106a>] ? __init_begin+0x6a/0x6f Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomization 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. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()": The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized]. This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation. N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the "machine" is held in the stopped state.

The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is better. * Before Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=365/806 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/690 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=736/886 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1167/985 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=2088/1125 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=4115/1184 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=8451/1748 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=16024/2048 * After Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664 Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172 It shows that performance improves greatly (roughly more than 50%) for the object class whose size is more than 128 bytes. This patch (of 11): If we don't hold neither the slab_mutex nor the node lock, node's shared array cache could be freed and re-populated. If __kmem_cache_shrink() is called at the same time, it will call drain_array() with n->shared without holding node lock so problem can happen. This patch fix the situation by holding the node lock before trying to drain the shared array. In addition, add a debug check to confirm that n->shared access race doesn't exist.

[PATCH] slab: Node rotor for freeing alien caches and remote per cpu pages. The cache reaper currently tries to free all alien caches and all remote per cpu pages in each pass of cache_reap. For a machines with large number of nodes (such as Altix) this may lead to sporadic delays of around ~10ms. Interrupts are disabled while reclaiming creating unacceptable delays. This patch changes that behavior by adding a per cpu reap_node variable. Instead of attempting to free all caches, we free only one alien cache and the per cpu pages from one remote node. That reduces the time spend in cache_reap. However, doing so will lengthen the time it takes to completely drain all remote per cpu pagesets and all alien caches. The time needed will grow with the number of nodes in the system. All caches are drained when they overflow their respective capacity. So the drawback here is only that a bit of memory may be wasted for awhile longer. Details: 1. Rename drain_remote_pages to drain_node_pages to allow the specification of the node to drain of pcp pages. 2. Add additional functions init_reap_node, next_reap_node for NUMA that manage a per cpu reap_node counter. 3. Add a reap_alien function that reaps only from the current reap_node. For us this seems to be a critical issue. Holdoffs of an average of ~7ms cause some HPC benchmarks to slow down significantly. F.e. NAS parallel slows down dramatically. NAS parallel has a 12-16 seconds runtime w/o rotor compared to 5.8 secs with the rotor patches. It gets down to 5.05 secs with the additional interrupt holdoff reductions.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

[PATCH] Numa-aware slab allocator V5 The NUMA API change that introduced kmalloc_node was accepted for 2.6.12-rc3. Now it is possible to do slab allocations on a node to localize memory structures. This API was used by the pageset localization patch and the block layer localization patch now in mm. The existing kmalloc_node is slow since it simply searches through all pages of the slab to find a page that is on the node requested. The two patches do a one time allocation of slab structures at initialization and therefore the speed of kmalloc node does not matter. This patch allows kmalloc_node to be as fast as kmalloc by introducing node specific page lists for partial, free and full slabs. Slab allocation improves in a NUMA system so that we are seeing a performance gain in AIM7 of about 5% with this patch alone. More NUMA localizations are possible if kmalloc_node operates in an fast way like kmalloc.

slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some changes to allocator boostrap code. Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar: We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code: [ 0.000000] Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffcff000 [ 0.000000] EDI 00000188 ESI 00000ac7 EBP c17eaf9c ESP c17eaf8c [ 0.000000] EBX 000014e0 EDX 0000000e ECX 01856067 EAX 00000001 [ 0.000000] err 00000003 EIP c10135b1 CS 00000060 flg 00010002 [ 0.000000] Stack: c17eafa8 c17fd410 c16747bc c17eafc4 c17fd7e5 000011fd f8616000 c18237cc [ 0.000000] 00099800 c17bb000 c17eafec c17f1668 000001c5 c17f1322 c166e039 c1822bf0 [ 0.000000] c166e033 c153a014 c18237cc 00020800 c17eaff8 c17f106a 00020800 01ba5003 [ 0.000000] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-tip-02161-g7a74539-dirty #52203 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [<c15357c2>] ? printk+0x14/0x16 [ 0.000000] [<c10135b1>] ? do_test_wp_bit+0x19/0x23 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd410>] ? test_wp_bit+0x26/0x64 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd7e5>] ? mem_init+0x1ba/0x1d8 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1668>] ? start_kernel+0x164/0x2f7 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1322>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19c [ 0.000000] [<c17f106a>] ? __init_begin+0x6a/0x6f Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above. So, I think it is worth changing. There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all. To help review, this patch implements new way only. Following patch will remove useless code.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option. It's current implementation requires status buffer so we need more memory to use it. And, it cause kmem_cache initialization step more complex. To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step, this patch implement this feature with another way. When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that getting information is started. And then, all free objects in caches are flushed to corresponding slab page. Now, we can distinguish all freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too. After collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is checked that there is no free during the processing. If true, we can be sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user. Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits mentioned above.
