SLAB_DEBUG_FREE allows expensive consistency checks at free to be turned on or off. Expand its use to be able to turn off all consistency checks. This gives a nice speed up if you only want features such as poisoning or tracing. Credit to Mathias Krause for the original work which inspired this series Signed-off-by:

Since commit 19c7ff9e ("slub: Take node lock during object free checks") check_object has been incorrectly returning success as it follows the out label which just returns the node. Thanks to refactoring, the out and fail paths are now basically the same. Combine the two into one and just use a single label.

This series takes the suggestion of Christoph Lameter and only focuses on optimizing the slow path where the debug processing runs. The two main optimizations in this series are letting the consistency checks be skipped and relaxing the cmpxchg restrictions when we are not doing consistency checks. With hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 averaged over 100 runs: Before slub_debug=P mean 15.607 variance .086 stdev .294 After slub_debug=P mean 10.836 variance .155 stdev .394 This still isn't as fast as what is in grsecurity unfortunately so there's still work to be done. Profiling ___slab_alloc shows that 25-50% of time is spent in deactivate_slab. I haven't looked too closely to see if this is something that can be optimized. My plan for now is to focus on getting all of this merged (if appropriate) before digging in to another task. This patch (of 4): Currently, free_debug_processing has a comment "Keep node_lock to preserve integrity until the object is actually freed". In actuallity, the lock is dropped immediately in __slab_free. Rather than wait until __slab_free and potentially throw off the unlikely marking, just drop the lock in __slab_free. This also lets free_debug_processing take its own copy of the spinlock flags rather than trying to share the ones from __slab_free. Since there is no use for the node afterwards, change the return type of free_debug_processing to return an int like alloc_debug_processing.

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

cache_init_objs() will be changed in following patch and current form doesn't fit well for that change. So, before doing it, this patch separates debugging initialization. This would cause two loop iteration when debugging is enabled, but, this overhead seems too light than debug feature itself so effect may not be visible. This patch will greatly simplify changes in cache_init_objs() in following patch. Signed-off-by:

To become an off slab, there are some constraints to avoid bootstrapping problem and recursive call. This can be avoided differently by simply checking that corresponding kmalloc cache is ready and it's not a off slab. It would be more robust because static size checking can be affected by cache size change or architecture type but dynamic checking isn't. One check 'freelist_cache->size > cachep->size / 2' is added to check benefit of choosing off slab, because, now, there is no size constraint which ensures enough advantage when selecting off slab.

We can fail to setup off slab in some conditions. Even in this case, debug pagealloc increases cache size to PAGE_SIZE in advance and it is waste because debug pagealloc cannot work for it when it isn't the off slab. To improve this situation, this patch checks first that this cache with increased size is suitable for off slab. It actually increases cache size when it is suitable for off-slab, so possible waste is removed. Signed-off-by:

Finding suitable OFF_SLAB candidate is more related to aligned cache size rather than original size. Same reasoning can be applied to the debug pagealloc candidate. So, this patch moves up alignment fixup to proper position. From that point, size is aligned so we can remove some alignment fixups. Signed-off-by:

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.

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. Signed-off-by:

This patchset implements a new freed object management way, that is, OBJFREELIST_SLAB. Purpose of it is to reduce memory overhead in SLAB. SLAB needs a array to manage freed objects in a slab. If there is leftover after objects are packed into a slab, we can use it as a management array, and, in this case, there is no memory waste. But, in the other cases, we need to allocate extra memory for a management array or utilize dedicated internal memory in a slab for it. Both cases causes memory waste so it's not good. With this patchset, freed object itself can be used for a management array. So, memory waste could be reduced. Detailed idea and numbers are described in last patch's commit description. Please refer it. In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with extendable linked array through another freed object. 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 patchset doesn't include it. I will attach prototype just for a reference. This patch (of 16): We use freelist_idx_t type for free object management whose size would be smaller than size of unsigned int. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

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.

Move the call to cache_alloc_debugcheck_after() outside the IRQ disabled section in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is disabled the compiler should remove this code. Signed-off-by:

This patch implements the alloc side of bulk API for the SLAB allocator. Further optimization are still possible by changing the call to __do_cache_alloc() into something that can return multiple objects. This optimization is left for later, given end results already show in the area of 80% speedup. Signed-off-by:

Reviewers notice that the order in slab_post_alloc_hook() of kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and kmemleak_alloc_recursive() gets swapped compared to slab.c / SLAB allocator. Also notice memset now occurs before calling kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and kmemleak_alloc_recursive(). I assume this reordering of kmemcheck, kmemleak and memset is okay because this is the order they are used by the SLUB allocator. This patch completes the sharing of alloc_hook's between SLUB and SLAB. Signed-off-by:

In the SLAB allocator kmemcheck_slab_alloc() is guarded against being called in case the object is NULL. In SLUB allocator this NULL pointer invocation can happen, which seems like an oversight. Move the NULL pointer check into kmemcheck code (kmemcheck_slab_alloc) so the check gets moved out of the fastpath, when not compiled with CONFIG_KMEMCHECK. This is a step towards sharing post_alloc_hook between SLUB and SLAB, because slab_post_alloc_hook() does not perform this check before calling kmemcheck_slab_alloc(). Signed-off-by:

Remove the SLAB specific function slab_should_failslab(), by moving the check against fault-injection for the bootstrap slab, into the shared function should_failslab() (used by both SLAB and SLUB). This is a step towards sharing alloc_hook's between SLUB and SLAB. This bootstrap slab "kmem_cache" is used for allocating struct kmem_cache objects to the allocator itself. Signed-off-by:

This change is primarily an attempt to make it easier to realize the optimizations the compiler performs in-case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled. Performance wise, even when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in, the overhead is zero. This is because, as long as no process have enabled kmem cgroups accounting, the assignment is replaced by asm-NOP operations. This is possible because memcg_kmem_enabled() uses a static_key_false() construct. It also helps readability as it avoid accessing the p[] array like: p[size - 1] which "expose" that the array is processed backwards inside helper function build_detached_freelist(). Lastly this also makes the code more robust, in error case like passing NULL pointers in the array. Which were previously handled before commit 03374518 ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").

gcc-6.0 found an ancient bug in the paride driver, which had a "module_param(verbose, bool, 0);" since before 2.6.12, but actually uses it to accept '0', '1' or '2' as arguments: drivers/block/paride/pd.c: In function 'pd_init_dev_parms': drivers/block/paride/pd.c:298:29: warning: comparison of constant '1' with boolean expression is always false [-Wbool-compare] #define DBMSG(msg) ((verbose>1)?(msg):NULL) In 2012, Rusty did a cleanup patch that also changed the type of the variable to 'bool', which introduced what is now a gcc warning. This changes the type back to 'int' and adapts the module_param() line instead, so it should work as documented in case anyone ever cares about running the ancient driver with debugging.

This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and running with an exsiting Android userspace. So I wanted to submit it for review and consideration if it should be merged. For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME specifices the partition name of a partition device. Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the partition name and number, ie: /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system or /dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1 One can see its usage here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355 and https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494 [john.stultz@linaro.org: dropped NPARTS and reworded commit message for context] Signed-off-by:Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> Signed-off-by:

In dlm_send_join_cancels(), node is defined with type unsigned int, but initialized with -1, this will lead variable overflow. Although this won't cause any runtime problem, the code looks a little uncoordinated. Signed-off-by:

when o2hb detect a node down, it first set the dead node to recovery map and create ocfs2rec which will replay journal for dead node. o2hb thread then call dlm_do_local_recovery_cleanup() to delete the lock for dead node. After the lock of dead node is gone, locks for other nodes can be granted and may modify the meta data without replaying journal of the dead node. The detail is described as follows. N1 N2 N3(master) modify the extent tree of inode, and commit dirty metadata to journal, then goes down. o2hb thread detects N1 goes down, set recovery map and delete the lock of N1. dlm_thread flush ast for the lock of N2. do not detect the death of N1, so recovery map is empty. read inode from disk without replaying the journal of N1 and modify the extent tree of the inode that N1 had modified. ocfs2rec recover the journal of N1. The modification of N2 is lost. The modification of N1 and N2 are not serial, and it will lead to read-only file system. We can set recovery_waiting flag to the lock resource after delete the lock for dead node to prevent other node from getting the lock before dlm recovery. After dlm recovery, the recovery map on N2 is not empty, ocfs2_inode_lock_full_nested() will wait for ocfs2 recovery. Signed-off-by:Jiufei Xue <xuejiufei@huawei.com> Reviewed-by:

If master migrate this lock resource to node when it happened to purge it, a new lock resource will be created and inserted into hash list. If then master goes down, the lock resource being purged is recovered, so there exist two lock resource with different owner. So return error to master if the lock resource is in DROPPING state, master will retry to migrate this lock resource. Signed-off-by:

Other nodes can purge the lock resource only after the refmap bit on master is cleared. This patch is to add DEREF_DONE message and corresponding handler. Node can purge the lock resource after receiving this message. As a new message is added, so increase the minor number of dlm protocol version. Signed-off-by:
