With the setup_nr_nodes(), we have already initialized node_possible_map. So it is safe to use for_each_node here. There are many places in the kernel that use hardcoded 'for' loop with nr_node_ids, because all other architectures have numa nodes populated serially. That should be reason we had maintained the same for powerpc. But, since sparse numa node ids possible on powerpc, we unnecessarily allocate memory for non existent numa nodes. For e.g., on a system with 0,1,16,17 as numa nodes nr_node_ids=18 and we allocate memory for nodes 2-14. This patch we allocate memory for only existing numa nodes. The patch is boot tested on a 4 node tuleta, confirming with printks that it works as expected. Signed-off-by:

The functions used in the patch are in slowpath, which gets called whenever alloc_super is called during mounts. Though this should not make difference for the architectures with sequential numa node ids, for the powerpc which can potentially have sparse node ids (for e.g., 4 node system having numa ids, 0,1,16,17 is common), this patch saves some unnecessary allocations for non existing numa nodes. Even without that saving, perhaps patch makes code more readable. [vdavydov@parallels.com: take memcg_aware check outside for_each loop] Signed-off-by:

__memcg_kmem_bypass() decides whether a kmem allocation should be bypassed to the root memcg. Some conditions that it tests are valid criteria regarding who should be held accountable; however, there are a couple unnecessary tests for cold paths - __GFP_FAIL and fatal_signal_pending(). The previous patch updated try_charge() to handle both __GFP_FAIL and dying tasks correctly and the only thing these two tests are doing is making accounting less accurate and sprinkling tests for cold path conditions in the hot paths. There's nothing meaningful gained by these extra tests. This patch removes the two unnecessary tests from __memcg_kmem_bypass(). Signed-off-by:

try_charge() is the main charging logic of memcg. When it hits the limit but either can't fail the allocation due to __GFP_NOFAIL or the task is likely to free memory very soon, being OOM killed, has SIGKILL pending or exiting, it "bypasses" the charge to the root memcg and returns -EINTR. While this is one approach which can be taken for these situations, it has several issues. * It unnecessarily lies about the reality. The number itself doesn't go over the limit but the actual usage does. memcg is either forced to or actively chooses to go over the limit because that is the right behavior under the circumstances, which is completely fine, but, if at all avoidable, it shouldn't be misrepresenting what's happening by sneaking the charges into the root memcg. * Despite trying, we already do over-charge. kmemcg can't deal with switching over to the root memcg by the point try_charge() returns -EINTR, so it open-codes over-charing. * It complicates the callers. Each try_charge() user has to handle the weird -EINTR exception. memcg_charge_kmem() does the manual over-charging. mem_cgroup_do_precharge() performs unnecessary uncharging of root memcg, which BTW is inconsistent with what memcg_charge_kmem() does but not broken as [un]charging are noops on root memcg. mem_cgroup_try_charge() needs to switch the returned cgroup to the root one. The reality is that in memcg there are cases where we are forced and/or willing to go over the limit. Each such case needs to be scrutinized and justified but there definitely are situations where that is the right thing to do. We alredy do this but with a superficial and inconsistent disguise which leads to unnecessary complications. This patch updates try_charge() so that it over-charges and returns 0 when deemed necessary. -EINTR return is removed along with all special case handling in the callers. While at it, remove the local variable @ret, which was initialized to zero and never changed, along with done: label which just returned the always zero @ret. Signed-off-by:

Currently, try_charge() tries to reclaim memory synchronously when the high limit is breached; however, if the allocation doesn't have __GFP_WAIT, synchronous reclaim is skipped. If a process performs only speculative allocations, it can blow way past the high limit. This is actually easily reproducible by simply doing "find /". slab/slub allocator tries speculative allocations first, so as long as there's memory which can be consumed without blocking, it can keep allocating memory regardless of the high limit. This patch makes try_charge() always punt the over-high reclaim to the return-to-userland path. If try_charge() detects that high limit is breached, it adds the overage to current->memcg_nr_pages_over_high and schedules execution of mem_cgroup_handle_over_high() which performs synchronous reclaim from the return-to-userland path. As long as kernel doesn't have a run-away allocation spree, this should provide enough protection while making kmemcg behave more consistently. It also has the following benefits. - All over-high reclaims can use GFP_KERNEL regardless of the specific gfp mask in use, e.g. GFP_NOFS, when the limit was breached. - It copes with prio inversion. Previously, a low-prio task with small memory.high might perform over-high reclaim with a bunch of locks held. If a higher prio task needed any of these locks, it would have to wait until the low prio task finished reclaim and released the locks. By handing over-high reclaim to the task exit path this issue can be avoided. Signed-off-by:

task_struct->memcg_oom is a sub-struct containing fields which are used for async memcg oom handling. Most task_struct fields aren't packaged this way and it can lead to unnecessary alignment paddings. This patch flattens it. * task.memcg_oom.memcg -> task.memcg_in_oom * task.memcg_oom.gfp_mask -> task.memcg_oom_gfp_mask * task.memcg_oom.order -> task.memcg_oom_order * task.memcg_oom.may_oom -> task.memcg_may_oom In addition, task.memcg_may_oom is relocated to where other bitfields are which reduces the size of task_struct.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite.

On systems with a KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE of 128 (arm64, some mips and powerpc configurations defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to 128), the first kmalloc_caches[] entry to be initialised after slab_early_init = 0 is "kmalloc-128" with index 7. Depending on the debug kernel configuration, sizeof(struct kmem_cache) can be larger than 128 resulting in an INDEX_NODE of 8. Commit 8fc9cf42 ("slab: make more slab management structure off the slab") enables off-slab management objects for sizes starting with PAGE_SIZE >> 5 (128 bytes for a 4KB page configuration) and the creation of the "kmalloc-128" cache would try to place the management objects off-slab. However, since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is already 128 and freelist_size == 32 in __kmem_cache_create(), kmalloc_slab(freelist_size) returns NULL (kmalloc_caches[7] not populated yet). This triggers the following bug on arm64: kernel BUG at /work/Linux/linux-2.6-aarch64/mm/slab.c:2283!

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. Signed-off-by:

In calculate_order(), it tries to calculate the best order by adjusting the fraction and min_objects. On each iteration on min_objects, fraction iterates on 16, 8, 4. Which means the acceptable waste increases with 1/16, 1/8, 1/4. This patch corrects the comment according to the code. Signed-off-by:

Currently, when kmem_cache_destroy() is called for a global cache, we print a warning for each per memcg cache attached to it that has active objects (see shutdown_cache). This is redundant, because it gives no new information and only clutters the log. If a cache being destroyed has active objects, there must be a memory leak in the module that created the cache, and it does not matter if the cache was used by users in memory cgroups or not. This patch moves the warning from shutdown_cache(), which is called for shutting down both global and per memcg caches, to kmem_cache_destroy(), so that the warning is only printed once if there are objects left in the cache being destroyed.

Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with kmem_cache_destroy. This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy is called (due to a memory leak). If this happens, the entries in the array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging). Signed-off-by:
