* mm: vmstat: move slab statistics from zone to node countersJohannes Weiner2017-07-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: per-lruvec slab stats" Josef is working on a new approach to balancing slab caches and the page cache. For this to work, he needs slab cache statistics on the lruvec level. These patches implement that by adding infrastructure that allows updating and reading generic VM stat items per lruvec, then switches some existing VM accounting sites, including the slab accounting ones, to this new cgroup-aware API. I'll follow up with more patches on this, because there is actually substantial simplification that can be done to the memory controller when we replace private memcg accounting with making the existing VM accounting sites cgroup-aware. But this is enough for Josef to base his slab reclaim work on, so here goes. This patch (of 5): To re-implement slab cache vs. page cache balancing, we'll need the slab counters at the lruvec level, which, ever since lru reclaim was moved from the zone to the node, is the intersection of the node, not the zone, and the memcg. We could retain the per-zone counters for when the page allocator dumps its memory information on failures, and have counters on both levels - which on all but NUMA node 0 is usually redundant. But let's keep it simple for now and just move them. If anybody complains we can restore the per-zone counters.

This patch punts sysfs file removal to a work item. Before commit bf5eb3de3847, the removal was punted to a RCU delayed work item which is executed after release. Now, we're punting to a different work item on shutdown which still maintains the goal removing the sysfs files earlier when destroying kmem_caches.

* slub/memcg: cure the brainless abuse of sysfs attributesThomas Gleixner2017-06-031-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | memcg_propagate_slab_attrs() abuses the sysfs attribute file functions to propagate settings from the root kmem_cache to a newly created kmem_cache. It does that with: attr->show(root, buf); attr->store(new, buf, strlen(bug); Aside of being a lazy and absurd hackery this is broken because it does not check the return value of the show() function. Some of the show() functions return 0 w/o touching the buffer. That means in such a case the store function is called with the stale content of the previous show(). That causes nonsense like invoking kmem_cache_shrink() on a newly created kmem_cache. In the worst case it would cause handing in an uninitialized buffer. This should be rewritten proper by adding a propagate() callback to those slub_attributes which must be propagated and avoid that insane conversion to and from ASCII, but that's too large for a hot fix. Check at least the return value of the show() function, so calling store() with stale content is prevented.

* mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCUPaul E. McKenney2017-04-181-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire slab of blocks. However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

* slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optionalTejun Heo2017-02-231-2/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

* slab: remove slub sysfs interface files early for empty memcg cachesTejun Heo2017-02-231-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure.

This is one of the patches to address the issue. Each cache has a number of sysfs interface files under /sys/kernel/slab. On a system with a lot of memory and transient memcgs, the number of interface files which have to be removed once memory reclaim kicks in can reach millions.

* slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation pathTejun Heo2017-02-231-4/+8

When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slub uses synchronize_sched() to deactivate a memcg cache. synchronize_sched() is an expensive and slow operation and doesn't scale when a huge number of caches are destroyed back-to-back. While there used to be a simple batching mechanism, the batching was too restricted to be helpful. This patch implements slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() which slub can use to schedule sched RCU callback instead of performing synchronize_sched() synchronously while holding cgroup_mutex. While this adds online cpus, mems and slab_mutex operations, operating on these locks back-to-back from the same kworker, which is what's gonna happen when there are many to deactivate, isn't expensive at all and this gets rid of the scalability problem completely.

When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slab_caches currently lists all caches including root and memcg ones. This is the only data structure which lists the root caches and iterating root caches can only be done by walking the list while skipping over memcg caches. As there can be a huge number of memcg caches, this can become very expensive. This also can make /proc/slabinfo behave very badly. seq_file processes reads in 4k chunks and seeks to the previous Nth position on slab_caches list to resume after each chunk. With a lot of memcg cache churns on the list, reading /proc/slabinfo can become very slow and its content often ends up with duplicate and/or missing entries. This patch adds a new list slab_root_caches which lists only the root caches. When memcg is not enabled, it becomes just an alias of slab_caches. memcg specific list operations are collected into memcg_[un]link_cache().

With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. I've seen machines which end up with hundred thousands of caches and many millions of kernfs_nodes. The current code is O(N^2) on the total number of caches and has synchronous rcu_barrier() and synchronize_sched() in cgroup offline / release path which is executed while holding cgroup_mutex. Combined, this leads to very expensive and slow cache destruction operations which can easily keep running for half a day. This also messes up /proc/slabinfo along with other cache iterating operations. seq_file operates on 4k chunks and on each 4k boundary tries to seek to the last position in the list. With a huge number of caches on the list, this becomes very slow and very prone to the list content changing underneath it leading to a lot of missing and/or duplicate entries. This patchset addresses the scalability problem. * Add root and per-memcg lists. Update each user to use the appropriate list. * Make rcu_barrier() for SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU caches globally batched and asynchronous. * For dying empty slub caches, remove the sysfs files after deactivation so that we don't end up with millions of sysfs files without any useful information on them. This patchset contains the following nine patches. 0001-Revert-slub-move-synchronize_sched-out-of-slab_mutex.patch 0002-slub-separate-out-sysfs_slab_release-from-sysfs_slab.patch 0003-slab-remove-synchronous-rcu_barrier-call-in-memcg-ca.patch 0004-slab-reorganize-memcg_cache_params.patch 0005-slab-link-memcg-kmem_caches-on-their-associated-memo.patch 0006-slab-implement-slab_root_caches-list.patch 0007-slab-introduce-__kmemcg_cache_deactivate.patch 0008-slab-remove-synchronous-synchronize_sched-from-memcg.patch 0009-slab-remove-slub-sysfs-interface-files-early-for-emp.patch 0010-slab-use-memcg_kmem_cache_wq-for-slab-destruction-op.patch 0001 reverts an existing optimization to prepare for the following changes. 0002 is a prep patch. 0003 makes rcu_barrier() in release path batched and asynchronous. 0004-0006 separate out the lists. 0007-0008 replace synchronize_sched() in slub destruction path with call_rcu_sched(). 0009 removes sysfs files early for empty dying caches. 0010 makes destruction work items use a workqueue with limited concurrency. This patch (of 10): Revert 89e364db71fb5e ("slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink"). With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. Moving synchronize_sched() out of slab_mutex isn't enough as it's still inside cgroup_mutex. The whole deactivation / release path will be updated to avoid all synchronous RCU operations. Revert this insufficient optimization in preparation to ease future changes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 210e7a43fa90 ("mm: SLUB freelist randomization") broke USB hub initialisation as described in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177551. Bail out early from init_cache_random_seq if s->random_seq is already initialised. This prevents destroying the previously computed random_seq offsets later in the function. If the offsets are destroyed, then shuffle_freelist will truncate page->freelist to just the first object (orphaning the rest).

* mm/slub.c: trace free objects at KERN_INFODaniel Thompson2017-01-251-10/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently when trace is enabled (e.g. slub_debug=T,kmalloc-128 ) the trace messages are mostly output at KERN_INFO. However the trace code also calls print_section() to hexdump the head of a free object. This is hard coded to use KERN_ERR, meaning the console is deluged with trace messages even if we've asked for quiet. Fix this the obvious way but adding a level parameter to print_section(), allowing calls from the trace code to use the same trace level as other trace messages.

* slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrinkVladimir Davydov2016-12-131-17/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works doing cache creation/destruction. Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab cache list.

We can get rid of the latter. The will save us a little bit of memory. Also, this allow us to move free stack into struct kasan_alloc_meta, without increasing memory consumption. So now we should always know when the last time the object was freed. This may be useful for long delayed use-after-free bugs.

* | mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator pathsVladimir Davydov2016-07-271-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

* mm/slub.c: replace kick_all_cpus_sync() with synchronize_sched() in ↵Vladimir Davydov2016-05-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kmem_cache_shrink() When we call __kmem_cache_shrink on memory cgroup removal, we need to synchronize kmem_cache->cpu_partial update with put_cpu_partial that might be running on other cpus. Currently, we achieve that by using kick_all_cpus_sync, which works as a system wide memory barrier. Though fast it is, this method has a flaw - it issues a lot of IPIs, which might hurt high performance or real-time workloads. To fix this, let's replace kick_all_cpus_sync with synchronize_sched. Although the latter one may take much longer to finish, it shouldn't be a problem in this particular case, because memory cgroups are destroyed asynchronously from a workqueue so that no user visible effects should be introduced. OTOH, it will save us from excessive IPIs when someone removes a cgroup. Anyway, even if using synchronize_sched turns out to take too long, we can always introduce a kind of __kmem_cache_shrink batching so that this method would only be called once per one cgroup destruction (not per each per memcg kmem cache as it is now).

* mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag optionMel Gorman2016-03-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor.

* mm/slub: support left redzoneJoonsoo Kim2016-03-161-29/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature. But it is only positioned at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob. Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect. This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left oob more precisely. Background: Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is enabled which does page allocation debugging. That page is out of our control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this case, we can't find OOB. Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss that OOB. Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now. Almost changes are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When debug options are enabled, cmpxchg on the page is disabled. This is because the page must be locked to ensure there are no false positives when performing consistency checks. Some debug options such as poisoning and red zoning only act on the object itself. There is no need to protect other CPUs from modification on only the object. Allow cmpxchg to happen with poisoning and red zoning are set on a slab.

* slub: drop lock at the end of free_debug_processingLaura Abbott2016-03-161-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocatorsJesper Dangaard Brouer2016-03-161-3/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
