slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache

2018-06-28T18:16:44Z

In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on implicit merging. This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/. The slub subsystem offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate filename in sysfs. This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache. kobject_del must be called while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a cache with the same attributes could be created.

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()

2018-06-12T23:19:22Z

The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

By moving page->private to the fourth word of struct page, we can put the SLUB counters in the same word as SLAB's s_mem and still do the cmpxchg_double trick. Now the SLUB counters no longer overlap with the mapcount or refcount so we can drop the call to page_mapcount_reset() and simplify set_page_slub_counters() to a single line.

mm/slub: remove obsolete comment

2018-06-08T00:34:34Z

The obsolete comment removed in this patch was introduced by 51df1142816e4 ("slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations"). I paste related modification from that commit: +#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA + /* + * Allocate kmem_cache_node properly from the kmem_cache slab. + * kmem_cache_node is separately allocated so no need to + * update any list pointers. + */ + temp_kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_node; + kmem_cache_node = kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache, GFP_NOWAIT); + memcpy(kmem_cache_node, temp_kmem_cache_node, kmem_size); + + kmem_cache_bootstrap_fixup(kmem_cache_node); + + caches++; +#else + /* + * kmem_cache has kmem_cache_node embedded and we moved it! + * Update the list heads + */ + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.partial); + list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.partial, &kmem_cache->local_node.partial); +#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG + INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kmem_cache->local_node.full); + list_splice(&temp_kmem_cache->local_node.full, &kmem_cache->local_node.full); +#endif As we can see there're used to distinguish the difference handling between NUMA/non-NUMA configuration in the original commit. I think it doesn't make any sense in current implementation which is placed above kmem_cache_node = bootstrap(&boot_kmem_cache_node); So maybe it's better to remove them now?
