mm/slub: fix endianness bug for alloc/free_traces attributes

2021-12-11T01:10:56Z

On big-endian s390, the alloc/free_traces attributes produce endless output, because of always 0 idx in slab_debugfs_show(). idx is de-referenced from *v, which points to a loff_t value, with unsigned int idx = *(unsigned int *)v; This will only give the upper 32 bits on big-endian, which remain 0. Instead of only fixing this de-reference, during discussion it seemed more appropriate to change the seq_ops so that they use an explicit iterator in private loc_track struct. This patch adds idx to loc_track, which will also fix the endianness bug.

mm: emit the "free" trace report before freeing memory in kmem_cache_free()

2021-11-20T18:35:54Z

After the memory is freed, it can be immediately allocated by other CPUs, before the "free" trace report has been emitted. This causes inaccurate traces. For example, if the following sequence of events occurs: CPU 0 CPU 1 (1) alloc xxxxxx (2) free xxxxxx (3) alloc xxxxxx (4) free xxxxxx Then they will be inaccurately reported via tracing, so that they appear to have happened in this order: CPU 0 CPU 1 (1) alloc xxxxxx (2) alloc xxxxxx (3) free xxxxxx (4) free xxxxxx This makes it look like CPU 1 somehow managed to allocate memory that CPU 0 still had allocated for itself. In order to avoid this, emit the "free xxxxxx" tracing report just before the actual call to free the memory, instead of just after it.

mm: remove HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK

2021-11-06T20:30:43Z

This has served its purpose and is no longer used. All usercopy violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances (or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected. This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3bb6 ("usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too. This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

mm, slub: use prefetchw instead of prefetch

2021-11-06T20:30:33Z

Commit 0ad9500e16fe ("slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc()") introduced prefetch_freepointer() because when other cpu(s) freed objects into a page that current cpu owns, the freelist link is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects and possibly very cold on current cpu. But if freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, it's better to invalidate that chain because they're not going to access again within a short time. So use prefetchw instead of prefetch. On supported architectures like x86 and arm, it invalidates other copied instances of a cache line when prefetching it.

mm/slub: increase default cpu partial list sizes

2021-11-06T20:30:32Z

The defaults are determined based on object size and can go up to 30 for objects smaller than 256 bytes. Before the previous patch changed the accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30 pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation order. Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >= PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages in practice. A quick test of booting a kernel under virtme with 4GB RAM and 8 vcpus shows the following slab memory usage after boot: Before previous patch (using page->pobjects): Slab: 36732 kB SReclaimable: 14836 kB SUnreclaim: 21896 kB After previous patch (using page->pages): Slab: 34720 kB SReclaimable: 13716 kB SUnreclaim: 21004 kB After this patch (using page->pages, higher defaults): Slab: 35252 kB SReclaimable: 13944 kB SUnreclaim: 21308 kB In the same setup, I also ran 5 times: hackbench -l 16000 -g 16 Differences in time were in the noise, we can compare slub stats as given by slabinfo -r skbuff_head_cache (the other cache heavily used by hackbench, kmalloc-cg-512 looks similar).

Interestingly, the number of fasthpath allocations increased, as well as allocations from the cpu partial list, even though it's shorter.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages

2021-11-06T20:30:32Z

With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

slub: add back check for free nonslab objects

2021-11-06T20:30:32Z

After commit f227f0faf63b ("slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk free"), the check for free nonslab page is replaced by VM_BUG_ON_PAGE, which only check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, but this config may impact performance, so it only for debug. Commit 0937502af7c9 ("slub: Add check for kfree() of non slab objects.") add the ability, which should be needed in any configs to catch the invalid free, they even could be potential issue, eg, memory corruption, use after free and double free, so replace VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to WARN_ON_ONCE, add object address printing to help use to debug the issue.

vsprintf: Make %pGp print the hex value

2021-10-27T11:40:14Z

All existing users of %pGp want the hex value as well as the decoded flag names. This looks awkward (passing the same parameter to printf twice), so move that functionality into the core. If we want, we can make that optional with flag arguments to %pGp in the future.
