Patch series "The new cgroup slab memory controller", v7. The patchset moves the accounting from the page level to the object level. It allows to share slab pages between memory cgroups. This leads to a significant win in the slab utilization (up to 45%) and the corresponding drop in the total kernel memory footprint. The reduced number of unmovable slab pages should also have a positive effect on the memory fragmentation. The patchset makes the slab accounting code simpler: there is no more need in the complicated dynamic creation and destruction of per-cgroup slab caches, all memory cgroups use a global set of shared slab caches. The lifetime of slab caches is not more connected to the lifetime of memory cgroups. The more precise accounting does require more CPU, however in practice the difference seems to be negligible. We've been using the new slab controller in Facebook production for several months with different workloads and haven't seen any noticeable regressions. What we've seen were memory savings in order of 1 GB per host (it varied heavily depending on the actual workload, size of RAM, number of CPUs, memory pressure, etc). The third version of the patchset added yet another step towards the simplification of the code: sharing of slab caches between accounted and non-accounted allocations. It comes with significant upsides (most noticeable, a complete elimination of dynamic slab caches creation) but not without some regression risks, so this change sits on top of the patchset and is not completely merged in. So in the unlikely event of a noticeable performance regression it can be reverted separately. The slab memory accounting works in exactly the same way for SLAB and SLUB. With both allocators the new controller shows significant memory savings, with SLUB the difference is bigger. On my 16-core desktop machine running Fedora 32 the size of the slab memory measured after the start of the system was lower by 58% and 38% with SLUB and SLAB correspondingly. As an estimation of a potential CPU overhead, below are results of slab_bulk_test01 test, kindly provided by Jesper D. Brouer. He also helped with the evaluation of results.

Historically the kernel memory accounting was an opt-in feature, which could be enabled for individual cgroups. But now it's not true, and it's on by default both on cgroup v1 and cgroup v2. And as long as a user has at least one non-root memory cgroup, the kernel memory accounting is on. So in most setups it's either always on (if memory cgroups are in use and kmem accounting is not disabled), either always off (otherwise). memcg_kmem_enabled() is used in many places to guard the kernel memory accounting code. If memcg_kmem_enabled() can reverse from returning true to returning false (as now), we can't rely on it on release paths and have to check if it was on before. If we'll make memcg_kmem_enabled() irreversible (always returning true after returning it for the first time), it'll make the general logic more simple and robust. It also will allow to guard some checks which otherwise would stay unguarded. Reported-by:

The default is still set to inode32 for backwards compatibility, but system administrators can opt in to the new 64-bit inode numbers by either: 1. Passing inode64 on the command line when mounting, or 2. Configuring the kernel with CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y The inode64 and inode32 names are used based on existing precedent from XFS.

Patch series "tmpfs: inode: Reduce risk of inum overflow", v7. In Facebook production we are seeing heavy i_ino wraparounds on tmpfs. On affected tiers, in excess of 10% of hosts show multiple files with different content and the same inode number, with some servers even having as many as 150 duplicated inode numbers with differing file content. This causes actual, tangible problems in production. For example, we have complaints from those working on remote caches that their application is reporting cache corruptions because it uses (device, inodenum) to establish the identity of a particular cache object, but because it's not unique any more, the application refuses to continue and reports cache corruption. Even worse, sometimes applications may not even detect the corruption but may continue anyway, causing phantom and hard to debug behaviour. In general, userspace applications expect that (device, inodenum) should be enough to be uniquely point to one inode, which seems fair enough. One might also need to check the generation, but in this case: 1. That's not currently exposed to userspace (ioctl(...FS_IOC_GETVERSION...) returns ENOTTY on tmpfs); 2. Even with generation, there shouldn't be two live inodes with the same inode number on one device. In order to mitigate this, we take a two-pronged approach: 1. Moving inum generation from being global to per-sb for tmpfs. This itself allows some reduction in i_ino churn. This works on both 64- and 32- bit machines. 2. Adding inode{64,32} for tmpfs. This fix is supported on machines with 64-bit ino_t only: we allow users to mount tmpfs with a new inode64 option that uses the full width of ino_t, or CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64. You can see how this compares to previous related patches which didn't implement this per-superblock: - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11254001/ - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11023915/ This patch (of 2): get_next_ino has a number of problems: - It uses and returns a uint, which is susceptible to become overflowed if a lot of volatile inodes that use get_next_ino are created. - It's global, with no specificity per-sb or even per-filesystem. This means it's not that difficult to cause inode number wraparounds on a single device, which can result in having multiple distinct inodes with the same inode number. This patch adds a per-superblock counter that mitigates the second case. This design also allows us to later have a specific i_ino size per-device, for example, allowing users to choose whether to use 32- or 64-bit inodes for each tmpfs mount. This is implemented in the next commit. For internal shmem mounts which may be less tolerant to spinlock delays, we implement a percpu batching scheme which only takes the stat_lock at each batch boundary. Signed-off-by: -

swap_readpage() does the sync io for one page, the io is not big, normally, the io can be finished quickly, but it may take long time or wait forever in case of io failure or discard. This patch uses blk_io_schedule() instead of io_schedule() to avoid task hung and crash (when set /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_panic) when the above exception occurs. This is similar to the hung task avoidance in submit_bio_wait(), blk_execute_rq() and __blkdev_direct_IO(). Signed-off-by:

Because enable_swap_slots_cache can only become true in enable_swap_slots_cache(), and depends on swap_slot_cache_initialized is true before. That means, when enable_swap_slots_cache is true, swap_slot_cache_initialized is true also. So the condition: "swap_slot_cache_enabled && swap_slot_cache_initialized" can be reduced to "swap_slot_cache_enabled" And in mathematics: "!swap_slot_cache_enabled || !swap_slot_cache_initialized" is equal to "!(swap_slot_cache_enabled && swap_slot_cache_initialized)" So no functional change.

Since commit bbddabe2 ("mm: filemap: only do access activations on reads"), mark_page_accessed() is called for reads only. But the idle flag is cleared by mark_page_accessed() so the idle flag won't get cleared if the page is write accessed only. Basically idle page tracking is used to estimate workingset size of workload, noticeable size of workingset might be missed if the idle flag is not maintained correctly. It seems good enough to just clear idle flag for write operations. Fixes: bbddabe2 ("mm: filemap: only do access activations on reads") Reported-by:

If a compound page is being split while dump_page() is being run on that page, we can end up calling compound_mapcount() on a page that is no longer compound. This leads to a crash (already seen at least once in the field), due to the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() assertion inside compound_mapcount(). (The above is from Matthew Wilcox's analysis of Qian Cai's bug report.) A similar problem is possible, via compound_pincount() instead of compound_mapcount(). In order to avoid this kind of crash, make dump_page() slightly more robust, by providing a pair of simpler routines that don't contain assertions: head_mapcount() and head_pincount(). For debug tools, we don't want to go *too* far in this direction, but this is a simple small fix, and the crash has already been seen, so it's a good trade-off. Reported-by:

Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Add some more tests", v5. This series adds some more arch page table helper validation tests which are related to core and advanced memory functions. This also creates a documentation, enlisting expected semantics for all page table helpers as suggested by Mike Rapoport previously (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/30/40). There are many TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE and ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD ifdefs scattered across the test. But consolidating all the fallback stubs is not very straight forward because ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_PUD is not explicitly dependent on ARCH_HAS_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.

cache_from_obj() was added by commit b9ce5ef4 ("sl[au]b: always get the cache from its page in kmem_cache_free()") to support kmemcg, where per-memcg cache can be different from the root one, so we can't use the kmem_cache pointer given to kmem_cache_free(). Prior to that commit, SLUB already had debugging check+warning that could be enabled to compare the given kmem_cache pointer to one referenced by the slab page where the object-to-be-freed resides. This check was moved to cache_from_obj(). Later the check was also enabled for SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED configs by commit 598a0717 ("mm/slab: validate cache membership under freelist hardening"). These checks and warnings can be useful especially for the debugging, which can be improved. Commit 598a0717 changed the pr_err() with WARN_ON_ONCE() to WARN_ONCE() so only the first hit is now reported, others are silent. This patch changes it to WARN() so that all errors are reported. It's also useful to print SLUB allocation/free tracking info for the offending object, if tracking is enabled. Thus, export the SLUB print_tracking() function and provide an empty one for SLAB. For SLUB we can also benefit from the static key check in kmem_cache_debug_flags(), but we need to move this function to slab.h and declare the static key there.

We could export the SLUB print_tracking() function and provide an empty one for SLAB, or realize that both the debugging and hardening cases in cache_from_obj() are only supported by SLUB anyway. So this patch moves cache_from_obj() from slab.h to separate instances in slab.c and slub.c, where the SLAB version only does the kmemcg lookup and even could be completely removed once the kmemcg rework [1] is merged. The SLUB version can thus easily use the print_tracking() function. It can also use the kmem_cache_debug_flags() static key check for improved performance in kernels without the hardening and with debugging not enabled on boot.

There are few places that call kmem_cache_debug(s) (which tests if any of debug flags are enabled for a cache) immediately followed by a test for a specific flag. The compiler can probably eliminate the extra check, but we can make the code nicer by introducing kmem_cache_debug_flags() that works like kmem_cache_debug() (including the static key check) but tests for specific flag(s). The next patches will add more users. [vbabka@suse.cz: change return from int to bool, per Kees. Add VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() for invalid flags, per Roman] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/949b90ed-e0f0-07d7-4d21-e30ec0958a7c@suse.czSigned-off-by:

One advantage of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is that a generic distro kernel can be built with the option enabled, but it's inactive until simply enabled on boot, without rebuilding the kernel. With a static key, we can further eliminate the overhead of checking whether a cache has a particular debug flag enabled if we know that there are no such caches (slub_debug was not enabled during boot). We use the same mechanism also for e.g. page_owner, debug_pagealloc or kmemcg functionality. This patch introduces the static key and makes the general check for per-cache debug flags kmem_cache_debug() use it. This benefits several call sites, including (slow path but still rather frequent) __slab_free(). The next patches will add more uses. Signed-off-by:

The attribute reflects the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache flag. It's not clear why this attribute was writable in the first place, as it's tied to how the cache is used by its creator, it's not a user tunable. Furthermore: - it affects slab merging, but that's not being checked while toggled - if affects whether __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag is used to allocate page, but the runtime toggle doesn't update allocflags - it affects cache_vmstat_idx() so runtime toggling might lead to incosistency of NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE Thus make it read-only.

SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. Some options, namely sanity_checks, trace, and failslab can be also enabled and disabled at runtime by writing into the files. The runtime toggling is racy. Some options disable __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE when enabled, which means that in case of concurrent allocations, some can still use __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and some not, leading to potential corruption. The s->flags field is also not updated or checked atomically. The simplest solution is to remove the runtime toggling. The extended slub_debug boot parameter syntax introduced by earlier patch should allow to fine-tune the debugging configuration during boot with same granularity. Signed-off-by:

SLUB allows runtime changing of page allocation order by writing into the /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/order file. Jann has reported [1] that this interface allows the order to be set too small, leading to crashes. While it's possible to fix the immediate issue, closer inspection reveals potential races. Storing the new order calls calculate_sizes() which non-atomically updates a lot of kmem_cache fields while the cache is still in use. Unexpected behavior might occur even if the fields are set to the same value as they were. This could be fixed by splitting out the part of calculate_sizes() that depends on forced_order, so that we only update kmem_cache.oo field. This could still race with init_cache_random_seq(), shuffle_freelist(), allocate_slab(). Perhaps it's possible to audit and e.g. add some READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE accesses, it might be easier just to remove the runtime order changes, which is what this patch does. If there are valid usecases for per-cache order setting, we could e.g. extend the boot parameters to do that.

SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the files. Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache. Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be recomputed. However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths. Thus it would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support. The documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits its usefulness anyway for many caches. Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles was the only way to achieve such configuration. After the previous patch it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute files read-only. While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements". The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of options to all caches or a list of caches. There is a use case where debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1]. As runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that multiple blocks of either global or slab-specific options can be specified, with blocks delimited by ';'. This will also support the use case of [1] without runtime changes. For details see the updated Documentation/vm/slub.rst [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/1383cd32-1ddc-4dac-b5f8-9c42282fa81c@codeaurora.org [weiyongjun1@huawei.com: make parse_slub_debug_flags() static] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200702150522.4940-1-weiyongjun1@huawei.comSigned-off-by:

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

Patch series "mm: Expand CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED to include SLAB" In reviewing Vlastimil Babka's latest slub debug series, I realized[1] that several checks under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED weren't being applied to SLAB. Fix this by expanding the Kconfig coverage, and adding a simple double-free test for SLAB. This patch (of 2): Include SLAB caches when performing kmem_cache pointer verification. A defense against such corruption[1] should be applied to all the allocators. With this added, the "SLAB_FREE_CROSS" and "SLAB_FREE_PAGE" LKDTM tests now pass on SLAB: lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_CROSS lkdtm: Attempting cross-cache slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. lkdtm-heap-b but object is from lkdtm-heap-a WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2195 at mm/slab.h:530 kmem_cache_free+0x8d/0x1d0 ... lkdtm: Performing direct entry SLAB_FREE_PAGE lkdtm: Attempting non-Slab slab free ... ------------[ cut here ]------------ virt_to_cache: Object is not a Slab page!
