804aa132d3 slub: fix/clean free_debug_processing return paths
Since commit 19c7ff9ecd ("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.

282acb4361 slub: drop lock at the end of free_debug_processing
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.

ca25719551 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.

376bf125ac slub: clean up code for kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk
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
033745189b ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to
kmem_cache_free_bulk").

48c935ad88 page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pages
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page.  It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page.  Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.

This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked().  They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG.  Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().

SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked.  IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there.  VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

230e9fc286 slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag
Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache,
we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is
inconvenient.  This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed
to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from
this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed.

This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it
will be done later in the series.

Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o
SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and
hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags.  Thus using this flag
will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting
is not used (only compiled in).

865762a811 slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API
Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.

Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.

A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.

The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.

To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

033745189b slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk
Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.

If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.

Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

03ec0ed57f slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk
The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().

This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.

As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.

A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow

In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

d0ecd894e3 slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist
This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.

The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.

To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:

 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
    thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.

 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
    each with a separate head pointer.

 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.

Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.

All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().

Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Performance data:
 Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz

SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns

To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

81084651d7 slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists
Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).

Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.

This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().

Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.

These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.

Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

d0164adc89 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.

89d3c87e20 mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y
It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
because:

a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
    detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
    detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
    This information helps to understand bugs.

Currently it is not enabled by default.  Besides recompiling the kernel
with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
which is not very handy.

Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
reason to not do this.

f3ccb2c422 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.

9f835703ea mm/slub: calculate start order with reserved in consideration
In slub_order(), the order starts from max(min_order,
get_order(min_objects * size)).  When (min_objects * size) has different
order from (min_objects * size + reserved), it will skip this order via a
check in the loop.

This patch optimizes this a little by calculating the start order with
`reserved' in consideration and removing the check in loop.

96db800f5d mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()
alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a ("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 5265047ac3 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f ("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.

45eb00cd3a mm/slub: don't wait for high-order page allocation
Description is almost copied from commit fb05e7a89f ("net: don't wait
for order-3 page allocation").

I saw excessive direct memory reclaim/compaction triggered by slub.  This
causes performance issues and add latency.  Slub uses high-order
allocation to reduce internal fragmentation and management overhead.  But,
direct memory reclaim/compaction has high overhead and the benefit of
high-order allocation can't compensate the overhead of both work.

This patch makes auxiliary high-order allocation atomic.  If there is no
memory pressure and memory isn't fragmented, the alloction will still
success, so we don't sacrifice high-order allocation's benefit here.  If
the atomic allocation fails, direct memory reclaim/compaction will not be
triggered, allocation fallback to low-order immediately, hence the direct
memory reclaim/compaction overhead is avoided.  In the allocation failure
case, kswapd is waken up and trying to make high-order freepages, so
allocation could success next time.

Following is the test to measure effect of this patch.

System: QEMU, CPU 8, 512 MB
Mem: 25% memory is allocated at random position to make fragmentation.
 Memory-hogger occupies 150 MB memory.
Workload: hackbench -g 20 -l 1000

80da026a8e mm/slub: fix slab double-free in case of duplicate sysfs filename
sysfs_slab_add() shouldn't call kobject_put at error path: this puts last
reference of kmem-cache kobject and frees it.  Kmem cache will be freed
second time at error path in kmem_cache_create().

For example this happens when slub debug was enabled in runtime and
somebody creates new kmem cache:

# echo 1 | tee /sys/kernel/slab/*/sanity_checks
# modprobe configfs

"configfs_dir_cache" cannot be merged because existing slab have debug and
cannot create new slab because unique name ":t-0000096" already taken.

588f8ba913 mm/slub: move slab initialization into irq enabled region
Initializing a new slab can introduce rather large latencies because most
of the initialization runs always with interrupts disabled.

There is no point in doing so.  The newly allocated slab is not visible
yet, so there is no reason to protect it against concurrent alloc/free.

Move the expensive parts of the initialization into allocate_slab(), so
for all allocations with GFP_WAIT set, interrupts are enabled.

3eed034d04 slub: add support for kmem_cache_debug in bulk calls
Per request of Joonsoo Kim adding kmem debug support.

I've tested that when debugging is disabled, then there is almost no
performance impact as this code basically gets removed by the compiler.

Need some guidance in enabling and testing this.

fbd02630c6 slub: initial bulk free implementation
This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk().  SLUB allocator now
both have bulk alloc and free implemented.

Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free().  In
worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should
still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because
local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback
invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles).
Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of
local_irq_{disable+enable}.

Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to
why this optimization works.

ebe909e0fd slub: improve bulk alloc strategy
Call slowpath __slab_alloc() from within the bulk loop, as the side-effect
of this call likely repopulates c->freelist.

Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath.

Saving some optimizations for later.  E.g.  it is possible to extract
parts of __slab_alloc() and avoid the unnecessary and expensive (37
cycles) local_irq_{save,restore}.  For now, be happy calling
__slab_alloc() this lower icache impact of this func and I don't have to
worry about correctness.

994eb764ec slub bulk alloc: extract objects from the per cpu slab
First piece: acceleration of retrieval of per cpu objects

If we are allocating lots of objects then it is advantageous to disable
interrupts and avoid the this_cpu_cmpxchg() operation to get these objects
faster.

Note that we cannot do the fast operation if debugging is enabled, because
we would have to add extra code to do all the debugging checks.  And it
would not be fast anyway.

Note also that the requirement of having interrupts disabled avoids having
to do processor flag operations.

Allocate as many objects as possible in the fast way and then fall back to
the generic implementation for the rest of the objects.

484748f0b6 slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeing
Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays.
It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in
this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab
bulk operations.

Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations
in which large numbers of objects are needed.  These optimization may
avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects
in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required.

Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the
bulk alloc and free functions.  They can keep the generic allocation and
freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like
for example when debugging is on).

2ae44005b6 slub: fix spelling succedd to succeed
With this patchset the SLUB allocator now has both bulk alloc and free
implemented.

This patchset mostly optimizes the "fastpath" where objects are available
on the per CPU fastpath page.  This mostly amortize the less-heavy
none-locked cmpxchg_double used on fastpath.

The "fallback" bulking (e.g __kmem_cache_free_bulk) provides a good basis
for comparison.  Measurements[1] of the fallback functions
__kmem_cache_{free,alloc}_bulk have been copied from slab_common.c and
forced "noinline" to force a function call like slab_common.c.

Benchmarking shows impressive improvements in the "fastpath" with a small
number of objects in the working set.  Once the working set increases,
resulting in activating the "slowpath" (that contains the heavier locked
cmpxchg_double) the improvement decreases.

I'm currently working on also optimizing the "slowpath" (as network stack
use-case hits this), but this patchset should provide a good foundation
for further improvements.  Rest of my patch queue in this area needs some
more work, but preliminary results are good.  I'm attending Netfilter
Workshop[2] next week, and I'll hopefully return working on further
improvements in this area.

2f064f3485 mm: make page pfmemalloc check more robust
Commit c48a11c7ad ("netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb") added
checks for page->pfmemalloc to __skb_fill_page_desc():

        if (page->pfmemalloc && !page->mapping)
                skb->pfmemalloc = true;

It assumes page->mapping == NULL implies that page->pfmemalloc can be
trusted.  However, __delete_from_page_cache() can set set page->mapping
to NULL and leave page->index value alone.  Due to being in union, a
non-zero page->index will be interpreted as true page->pfmemalloc.

So the assumption is invalid if the networking code can see such a page.
And it seems it can.  We have encountered this with a NFS over loopback
setup when such a page is attached to a new skbuf.  There is no copying
going on in this case so the page confuses __skb_fill_page_desc which
interprets the index as pfmemalloc flag and the network stack drops
packets that have been allocated using the reserves unless they are to
be queued on sockets handling the swapping which is the case here and
that leads to hangs when the nfs client waits for a response from the
server which has been dropped and thus never arrive.

The struct page is already heavily packed so rather than finding another
hole to put it in, let's do a trick instead.  We can reuse the index
again but define it to an impossible value (-1UL).  This is the page
index so it should never see the value that large.  Replace all direct
users of page->pfmemalloc by page_is_pfmemalloc which will hide this
nastiness from unspoiled eyes.

The information will get lost if somebody wants to use page->index
obviously but that was the case before and the original code expected
that the information should be persisted somewhere else if that is
really needed (e.g.  what SLAB and SLUB do).

34cc6990d4 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.

4db0c3c298 mm: remove rest of ACCESS_ONCE() usages
We converted some of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE to READ_ONCE in the mm/
tree since it doesn't work reliably on non-scalar types.

This patch removes the rest of the usages of ACCESS_ONCE, and use the new
READ_ONCE API for the read accesses.  This makes things cleaner, instead
of using separate/multiple sets of APIs.

859b7a0e89 mm/slub: fix lockups on PREEMPT && !SMP kernels
Commit 9aabf810a6 ("mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing
preemption on/off") introduced an occasional hang for kernels built with
CONFIG_PREEMPT && !CONFIG_SMP.

The problem is the following loop the patch introduced to
slab_alloc_node and slab_free:

    do {
        tid = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->tid);
        c = raw_cpu_ptr(s->cpu_slab);
    } while (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT) && unlikely(tid != c->tid));

GCC 4.9 has been observed to hoist the load of c and c->tid above the
loop for !SMP kernels (as in this case raw_cpu_ptr(x) is compile-time
constant and does not force a reload).  On arm64 the generated assembly
looks like:

         ldr     x4, [x0,#8]
  loop:
         ldr     x1, [x0,#8]
         cmp     x1, x4
         b.ne    loop

If the thread is preempted between the load of c->tid (into x1) and tid
(into x4), and an allocation or free occurs in another thread (bumping
the cpu_slab's tid), the thread will be stuck in the loop until
s->cpu_slab->tid wraps, which may be forever in the absence of
allocations/frees on the same CPU.

This patch changes the loop condition to access c->tid with READ_ONCE.
This ensures that the value is reloaded even when the compiler would
otherwise assume it could cache the value, and also ensures that the
load will not be torn.

0316bec22e mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocator
With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by
slub.  Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as
redzone.  Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by
caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object
(including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible).

We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object.
There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire
size of really allocated area.  Such callers could validly access whole
allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible.

Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's
metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

a79316c617 mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable()
It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible
(object's metadata).  Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because
these accesses are valid.  Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not
enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata
into external functions like memchr_inv().

We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is
quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs.

metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where
accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan
reports.

d6e0b7fa11 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.

832f37f5d5 slub: never fail to shrink cache
SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but
also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to
the head to cope with fragmentation.  To achieve that, it allocates a
temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in
use.  If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted.

This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the
memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink()
successfully discarded empty slabs.  Although the allocation failure is
utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which
retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not
to rely on that.

This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on
stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail.  The array size is
chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32
objects per slab page.  Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted
using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head
of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in
the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

426589f571 slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a list
Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root
kmem cache.  Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for
that, because it contains all existing memcg caches.

However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that
belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing
beyond any bounds then.  I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to
save space.  To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches
of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

f7ce3190c4 slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache
Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it.  The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled.  However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:

* Initially:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct list_head list;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
			bool dead;
			atomic_t nr_pages;
			struct work_struct destroy;
		};
	};
};

* Now:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct {
			struct rcu_head rcu_head;
			struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		};
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
		};
	};
};

So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.

OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch.  That said, let
us embed it.

9aabf810a6 mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off
We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in
order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same
cpu.  It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can
move the process to other cpu during retrieving data.

Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the
fastpath.  If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and
kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means
that they are retrieved on the same cpu.  If not matched, we just have
to retry it.

With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if
CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it.

I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in
CONFIG_PREEMPT.  (14.821 ns -> 14.049 ns)

Below is the result of Christoph's slab_test reported by Jesper Dangaard
Brouer.

Most of the results are better than before.

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT,
roughly 0.3%.  Implementing each case separately would help performance,
but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that.  This would help
maintanance since we have same code for all cases.

dee2f8aaab slub: fix cpuset check in get_any_partial
If we fail to allocate from the current node's stock, we look for free
objects on other nodes before calling the page allocator (see
get_any_partial).  While checking other nodes we respect cpuset
constraints by calling cpuset_zone_allowed.  We enforce hardwall check.
As a result, we will fallback to the page allocator even if there are some
pages cached on other nodes, but the current cpuset doesn't have them set.
 However, the page allocator uses softwall check for kernel allocations,
so it may allocate from one of the other nodes in this case.

Therefore we should use softwall cpuset check in get_any_partial to
conform with the cpuset check in the page allocator.

8135be5a80 memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_kmem_get_cache()
Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to
allocate an object from a kmem cache @c.  The copy of @c corresponding to
@memcg, @mc, is empty.  Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory
cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache
after it was destroyed:

CPU0				CPU1
----				----
[ current=@t
  @mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ]

kmem_cache_alloc(@c):
  call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c);
  proceed to allocation from @mc:
    alloc a page for @mc:
      ...

				move @t from @memcg
				destroy @memcg:
				  mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg):
				    memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg):
				      kmem_cache_destroy(@mc)

    add page to @mc

We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but
that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches,
which would look cumbersome.

Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a
per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be
dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline
to css free.  As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one
by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup
is freed.  This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though.

Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path,
but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu
counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in
memcg_kmem_get_cache.  Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory
cgroups with kmem accounting enabled.  I don't think we can find a way to
handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc
may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

344736f29b cpuset: simplify cpuset_node_allowed API
Current cpuset API for checking if a zone/node is allowed to allocate
from looks rather awkward. We have hardwall and softwall versions of
cpuset_node_allowed with the softwall version doing literally the same
as the hardwall version if __GFP_HARDWALL is passed to it in gfp flags.
If it isn't, the softwall version may check the given node against the
enclosing hardwall cpuset, which it needs to take the callback lock to
do.

Such a distinction was introduced by commit 02a0e53d82 ("cpuset:
rework cpuset_zone_allowed api"). Before, we had the only version with
the __GFP_HARDWALL flag determining its behavior. The purpose of the
commit was to avoid sleep-in-atomic bugs when someone would mistakenly
call the function without the __GFP_HARDWALL flag for an atomic
allocation. The suffixes introduced were intended to make the callers
think before using the function.

However, since the callback lock was converted from mutex to spinlock by
the previous patch, the softwall check function cannot sleep, and these
precautions are no longer necessary.

So let's simplify the API back to the single check.

02e72cc617 mm: slub: SLUB_DEBUG=n: use the same alloc/free hooks as for SLUB_DEBUG=y
There are two versions of alloc/free hooks now - one for
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and another one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n.

I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP,
DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG.
All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of
them already have own Kconfig options.

This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration.  It
simply has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a
hook hidden under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else".

Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n
and all other debugging features disabled.  The might_sleep_if() call
can generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n.  For
PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y might_sleep() inserts _cond_resched() call, but I
think it should be ok.

8a5b20aeba slub: fix off by one in number of slab tests
min_partial means minimum number of slab cached in node partial list.
So, if nr_partial is less than it, we keep newly empty slab on node
partial list rather than freeing it.  But if nr_partial is equal or
greater than it, it means that we have enough partial slabs so should
free newly empty slab.  Current implementation missed the equal case so
if we set min_partial is 0, then, at least one slab could be cached.
This is critical problem to kmemcg destroying logic because it doesn't
works properly if some slabs is cached.  This patch fixes this problem.

Fixes 91cb69620284 ("slub: make dead memcg caches discard free slabs

844e4d66f4 slub: search partial list on numa_mem_id(), instead of numa_node_id()
Currently, if allocation constraint to node is NUMA_NO_NODE, we search a
partial slab on numa_node_id() node.  This doesn't work properly on a
system having memoryless nodes, since it can have no memory on that node
so there must be no partial slab on that node.

On that node, page allocation always falls back to numa_mem_id() first.
So searching a partial slab on numa_node_id() in that case is the proper
solution for the memoryless node case.

03afc0e25f slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.

To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
instance, in case of slub:

    CPU0                            CPU1
    ----                            ----
    kmem_cache_create:              online_pages:
     __kmem_cache_create:            slab_memory_callback:
                                      slab_mem_going_online_callback:
                                       lock slab_mutex
                                       for each slab_caches list entry
                                           allocate kmem_cache node
                                       unlock slab_mutex
      lock slab_mutex
      init_kmem_cache_nodes:
       for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
           allocate kmem_cache node
      add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
      unlock slab_mutex
                                    online_pages (continued):
                                     node_states_set_node

As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.

To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.

Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

bfc8c90139 mem-hotplug: implement get/put_online_mems
kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink} need to get a stable value of
cpu/node online mask, because they init/destroy/access per-cpu/node
kmem_cache parts, which can be allocated or destroyed on cpu/mem
hotplug.  To protect against cpu hotplug, these functions use
{get,put}_online_cpus.  However, they do nothing to synchronize with
memory hotplug - taking the slab_mutex does not eliminate the
possibility of race as described in patch 2.

What we need there is something like get_online_cpus, but for memory.
We already have lock_memory_hotplug, which serves for the purpose, but
it's a bit of a hammer right now, because it's backed by a mutex.  As a
result, it imposes some limitations to locking order, which are not
desirable, and can't be used just like get_online_cpus.  That's why in
patch 1 I substitute it with get/put_online_mems, which work exactly
like get/put_online_cpus except they block not cpu, but memory hotplug.

[ v1 can be found at https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/6/68.  I NAK'ed it by
  myself, because it used an rw semaphore for get/put_online_mems,
  making them dead lock prune.  ]

This patch (of 2):

{un}lock_memory_hotplug, which is used to synchronize against memory
hotplug, is currently backed by a mutex, which makes it a bit of a
hammer - threads that only want to get a stable value of online nodes
mask won't be able to proceed concurrently.  Also, it imposes some
strong locking ordering rules on it, which narrows down the set of its
usage scenarios.

This patch introduces get/put_online_mems, which are the same as
get/put_online_cpus, but for memory hotplug, i.e.  executing a code
inside a get/put_online_mems section will guarantee a stable value of
online nodes, present pages, etc.

lock_memory_hotplug()/unlock_memory_hotplug() are removed altogether.

52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.

The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

5dfb417509 sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitly
We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there.  All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.

This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG.  It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags.  Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.

This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to.  That's why this
patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

8eae149267 mm: slub: fix ALLOC_SLOWPATH stat
There used to be only one path out of __slab_alloc(), and ALLOC_SLOWPATH
got bumped in that exit path.  Now there are two, and a bunch of gotos.
ALLOC_SLOWPATH can now get set more than once during a single call to
__slab_alloc() which is pretty bogus.  Here's the sequence:

1. Enter __slab_alloc(), fall through all the way to the
   stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH);
2. hit 'if (!freelist)', and bump DEACTIVATE_BYPASS, jump to
   new_slab (goto #1)
3. Hit 'if (c->partial)', bump CPU_PARTIAL_ALLOC, goto redo
   (goto #2)
4. Fall through in the same path we did before all the way to
   stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH)
5. bump ALLOC_REFILL stat, then return

Doing this is obviously bogus.  It keeps us from being able to
accurately compare ALLOC_SLOWPATH vs.  ALLOC_FASTPATH.  It also means
that the total number of allocs always exceeds the total number of
frees.

This patch moves stat(s, ALLOC_SLOWPATH) to be called from the same
place that __slab_alloc() is.  This makes it much less likely that
ALLOC_SLOWPATH will get botched again in the spaghetti-code inside
__slab_alloc().

9a02d69993 mm, slab: suppress out of memory warning unless debug is enabled
When the slab or slub allocators cannot allocate additional slab pages,
they emit diagnostic information to the kernel log such as current
number of slabs, number of objects, active objects, etc.  This is always
coupled with a page allocation failure warning since it is controlled by
!__GFP_NOWARN.

Suppress this out of memory warning if the allocator is configured
without debug supported.  The page allocation failure warning will
indicate it is a failed slab allocation, the order, and the gfp mask, so
this is only useful to diagnose allocator issues.

Since CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is already enabled by default for the slub
allocator, there is no functional change with this patch.  If debug is
disabled, however, the warnings are now suppressed.

Statistics are not critical to the operation of the allocation but
should also not cause too much overhead.

When __this_cpu_inc is altered to check if preemption is disabled this
triggers.  Use raw_cpu_inc to avoid the checks.  Using this_cpu_ops may
cause interrupt disable/enable sequences on various arches which may
significantly impact allocator performance.

9a41707bd3 slub: rework sysfs layout for memcg caches
Currently, we try to arrange sysfs entries for memcg caches in the same
manner as for global caches.  Apart from turning /sys/kernel/slab into a
mess when there are a lot of kmem-active memcgs created, it actually
does not work properly - we won't create more than one link to a memcg
cache in case its parent is merged with another cache.  For instance, if
A is a root cache merged with another root cache B, we will have the
following sysfs setup:

  X
  A -> X
  B -> X

where X is some unique id (see create_unique_id()).  Now if memcgs M and
N start to allocate from cache A (or B, which is the same), we will get:

  X
  X:M
  X:N
  A -> X
  B -> X
  A:M -> X:M
  A:N -> X:N

Since B is an alias for A, we won't get entries B:M and B:N, which is
confusing.

It is more logical to have entries for memcg caches under the
corresponding root cache's sysfs directory.  This would allow us to keep
sysfs layout clean, and avoid such inconsistencies like one described
above.

This patch does the trick.  It creates a "cgroup" kset in each root
cache kobject to keep its children caches there.

a44cb94491 memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.

Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.

The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.

So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

2a389610a7 mm, mempolicy: rename slab_node for clarity
slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to
mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with
mempolicies.

At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local
variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and
remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed
into the function.

421af243b1 slub: do not drop slab_mutex for sysfs_slab_add
We release the slab_mutex while calling sysfs_slab_add from
__kmem_cache_create since commit 66c4c35c6b ("slub: Do not hold
slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()"), because kobject_uevent called
by sysfs_slab_add might block waiting for the usermode helper to exec,
which would result in a deadlock if we took the slab_mutex while
executing it.

However, apart from complicating synchronization rules, releasing the
slab_mutex on kmem cache creation can result in a kmemcg-related race.
The point is that we check if the memcg cache exists before going to
__kmem_cache_create, but register the new cache in memcg subsys after
it.  Since we can drop the mutex there, several threads can see that the
memcg cache does not exist and proceed to creating it, which is wrong.

Fortunately, recently kobject_uevent was patched to call the usermode
helper with the UMH_NO_WAIT flag, making the deadlock impossible.
Therefore there is no point in releasing the slab_mutex while calling
sysfs_slab_add, so let's simplify kmem_cache_create synchronization and
fix the kmemcg-race mentioned above by holding the slab_mutex during the
whole cache creation path.

d26914d117 mm: optimize put_mems_allowed() usage
Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we
don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact
successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative
fast-paths.

Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory
pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the
seqcount interface.

This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(),
where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call
is inverted from its previous incarnation.

Commit c65c1877bd ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") requires
remove_partial() to be called with n->list_lock held, but free_partial()
called from kmem_cache_close() on cache destruction does not follow this
rule, leading to a warning:

His solution was to add a spinlock in order to quiet lockdep.  Although
there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires
disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system.

Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for
lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the
list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed.

Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock
validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

required that add_full() and remove_full() hold n->list_lock.  The lock

actually does anything.

Require that the lock only be taken under such a condition.

67b6c900dc mm: slub: work around unneeded lockdep warning
The slub code does some setup during early boot in
early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() with some local data.  There is no
possible way that another CPU can see this data, so the slub code
doesn't unnecessarily lock it.  However, some new lockdep asserts
check to make sure that add_partial() _always_ has the list_lock
held.

Just add the locking, even though it is technically unnecessary.

a03208652d mm/slub.c: fix page->_count corruption (again)
Commit abca7c4965 ("mm: fix slab->page _count corruption when using
slub") notes that we can not _set_ a page->counters directly, except
when using a real double-cmpxchg.  Doing so can lose updates to
->_count.

That is an absolute rule:

        You may not *set* page->counters except via a cmpxchg.

Commit abca7c4965 fixed this for the folks who have the slub
cmpxchg_double code turned off at compile time, but it left the bad case
alone.  It can still be reached, and the same bug triggered in two
cases:

1. Turning on slub debugging at runtime, which is available on
   the distro kernels that I looked at.
2. On 64-bit CPUs with no CMPXCHG16B (some early AMD x86-64
   cpus, evidently)

There are at least 3 ways we could fix this:

1. Take all of the exising calls to cmpxchg_double_slab() and
   __cmpxchg_double_slab() and convert them to take an old, new
   and target 'struct page'.
2. Do (1), but with the newly-introduced 'slub_data'.
3. Do some magic inside the two cmpxchg...slab() functions to
   pull the counters out of new_counters and only set those
   fields in page->{inuse,frozen,objects}.

I've done (2) as well, but it's a bunch more code.  This patch is an
attempt at (3).  This was the most straightforward and foolproof way
that I could think to do this.

This would also technically allow us to get rid of the ugly

#if defined(CONFIG_HAVE_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE) && \
       defined(CONFIG_HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE)

in 'struct page', but leaving it alone has the added benefit that
'counters' stays 'unsigned' instead of 'unsigned long', so all the
copies that the slub code does stay a bit smaller.

a0132ac0f2 mm/slub.c: do not VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() for temporary on-stack pages
Commit 309381feae ("mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE") added a bunch of VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls.

But, most of the ones in the slub code are for _temporary_ 'struct
page's which are declared on the stack and likely have lots of gunk in
them.  Dumping their contents out will just confuse folks looking at
bad_page() output.  Plus, if we try to page_to_pfn() on them or
soemthing, we'll probably oops anyway.

Turn them back in to VM_BUG_ON()s.

309381feae mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page.  Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

/sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat cpu_slabs
  231 N0=16 N1=215
  /sys/kernel/slab/:t-0000048 # cat slabs
  145 N0=36 N1=109

See, the number of slabs is smaller than that of cpu slabs.

The bug was introduced by commit 49e2258586
("slub: per cpu cache for partial pages").

We should use page->pages instead of page->pobjects when calculating
the number of cpu partial slabs. This also fixes the mapping of slabs
and nodes.

As there's no variable storing the number of total/active objects in
cpu partial slabs, and we don't have user interfaces requiring those
statistics, I just add WARN_ON for those cases.

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

  Problem is that slub_debug option is not parsed before
  create_boot_cache is called. Solve this by changing slub_debug to
  early_param.

  Kernels 3.11, 3.10 are also affected.  I am not sure about older
  kernels.

Christoph Lameter explains:

  kmem_cache_flags may be called with NULL parameter during early boot.
  Skip the test in that case.

d56791b38e slub: proper kmemleak tracking if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG disabled
Move all kmemleak calls into hook functions, and make it so
that all hooks (both inside and outside of #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG)
call the appropriate kmemleak routines.  This allows for kmemleak
to be configured independently of slub debug features.

It also fixes a bug where kmemleak was only partially enabled in some
configurations.

f1b6eb6e6b mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common code
The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
in slob.

As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.

kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

370905069c Revert "slub: do not put a slab to cpu partial list when cpu_partial is 0"
This reverts commit 318df36e57.

This commit caused Steven Rostedt's hackbench runs to run out of memory
due to a leak.  As noted by Joonsoo Kim, it is buggy in the following
scenario:

 "I guess, you may set 0 to all kmem caches's cpu_partial via sysfs,
  doesn't it?

  In this case, memory leak is possible in following case.  Code flow of
  possible leak is follwing case.

   * in __slab_free()
   1. (!new.inuse || !prior) && !was_frozen
   2. !kmem_cache_debug && !prior
   3. new.frozen = 1
   4. after cmpxchg_double_slab, run the (!n) case with new.frozen=1
   5. with this patch, put_cpu_partial() doesn't do anything,
      because this cache's cpu_partial is 0
   6. return

  In step 5, leak occur"

And Steven does indeed have cpu_partial set to 0 due to RT testing.

Joonsoo is cooking up a patch, but everybody agrees that reverting this
for now is the right thing to do.

0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Now, this uses SLUB pretty much unmodified, but as it is the -rt kernel
with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set, spinlocks are mutexes, although they do
disable migration. But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the
spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I
believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt
patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-)

Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable
can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not
check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic.

As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if
it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the
__slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?

7cccd80b43 slub: tid must be retrieved from the percpu area of the current processor
As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a
different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and
before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the
wrong node in slab_alloc().

The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the
freelist of the wrong page.

The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is
possible.

The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore
the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing
of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg
succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are
able to perform the same allocation from the freelist.

Check for the NULL pointer in node_match.

A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.

There is a subtle bug when calculating a number of acquired objects.

In acquire_slab() with mode = 1, we always set new.inuse = page->objects.
So,

	acquire_slab(s, n, page, object == NULL);

	if (!object) {
		c->page = page;
		stat(s, ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL);
		object = t;
		available = page->objects - page->inuse;

		!!! availabe is always 0 !!!
	...

Therfore, "available > s->cpu_partial / 2" is always false and
we always go to second iteration.
This patch correct this problem.

After that, we don't need return value of put_cpu_partial().
So remove it.

7d557b3cb6 slub: correctly bootstrap boot caches
After we create a boot cache, we may allocate from it until it is bootstraped.
This will move the page from the partial list to the cpu slab list. If this
happens, the loop:

	list_for_each_entry(p, &n->partial, lru)

that we use to scan for all partial pages will yield nothing, and the pages
will keep pointing to the boot cpu cache, which is of course, invalid. To do
that, we should flush the cache to make sure that the cpu slab is back to the
partial list.

22b751c3d0 mm: rename page struct field helpers
The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern.  As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset().  There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

5413dfba88 slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry
Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.

In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
__kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
weird now.

ebe945c276 memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation
This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation.

First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in
memcontrol.h.  The usages already in the codebase are safe.  In mm/slub.c,
it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop.
In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a
few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is
indeed safe.

A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the
parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

107dab5c92 slub: slub-specific propagation changes
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.

This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.

The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.

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.

1f458cbf12 memcg: destroy memcg caches
Implement destruction of memcg caches.  Right now, only caches where our
reference counter is the last remaining are deleted.  If there are any
other reference counters around, we just leave the caches lying around
until they go away.

When that happens, a destruction function is called from the cache code.
Caches are only destroyed in process context, so we queue them up for
later processing in the general case.

2633d7a028 slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache
Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache

Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.

A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

b9d5ab2562 slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing
SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the
other node's hot-adding and hot-removing.

Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but
this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we
should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB.

And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory,
we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node.  (The current code delays
it when all of the memory is offlined)

So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0.
marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here.

The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3
for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates
kmem_list3 on alien nodes.  SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have
normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node.  The patch makes
SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.
