* Merge branch 'slab/for-6.11/buckets' into slab/for-nextVlastimil Babka6 days1-55/+74
|\ | | | | | | | | Merge all the slab patches previously collected on top of v6.10-rc1, over cleanups/fixes that had to be based on rc6.
| * mm/slab: Plumb kmem_buckets into __do_kmalloc_node()Kees Cook2024-07-031-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS which provides the infrastructure to support separated kmalloc buckets (in the following kmem_buckets_create() patches and future codetag-based separation). Since this will provide a mitigation for a very common case of exploits, it is recommended to enable this feature for general purpose distros. By default, the new Kconfig will be enabled if CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is enabled (and it is added to the hardening.config Kconfig fragment). To be able to choose which buckets to allocate from, make the buckets available to the internal kmalloc interfaces by adding them as the second argument, rather than depending on the buckets being chosen from the fixed set of global buckets. Where the bucket is not available, pass NULL, which means "use the default system kmalloc bucket set" (the prior existing behavior), as implemented in kmalloc_slab(). To avoid adding the extra argument when !CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS, only the top-level macros and static inlines use the buckets argument (where they are stripped out and compiled out respectively). The actual extern functions can then be built without the argument, and the internals fall back to the global kmalloc buckets unconditionally.

| * slab: don't put freepointer outside of object if only orig_sizeChengming Zhou2024-06-071-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra allocated kmalloc space than requested") will extend right redzone when allocating for orig_size < object_size. So we can't overlay the freepointer in the object space in this case. But the code looks like it forgot to check SLAB_RED_ZONE, since there won't be extended right redzone if only orig_size enabled. As we are here, make this complex conditional expressions a little prettier and add some comments about extending right redzone when slub_debug_orig_size() enabled.

| * slab: make check_object() more consistentChengming Zhou2024-06-071-21/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now check_object() calls check_bytes_and_report() multiple times to check every section of the object it cares about, like left and right redzones, object poison, paddings poison and freepointer. It will abort the checking process and return 0 once it finds an error. There are two inconsistencies in check_object(), which are alignment padding checking and object padding checking. We only print the error messages but don't return 0 to tell callers that something is wrong and needs to be handled. Please see alloc_debug_processing() and free_debug_processing() for details. We want to do all checks without skipping, so use a local variable "ret" to save each check result and change check_bytes_and_report() to only report specific error findings. Then at end of check_object(), print the trailer once if any found an error.

| * mm, slab: don't wrap internal functions with alloc_hooks()Vlastimil Babka2024-05-281-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The functions __kmalloc_noprof(), kmalloc_large_noprof(), kmalloc_trace_noprof() and their _node variants are all internal to the implementations of kmalloc_noprof() and kmalloc_node_noprof() and are only declared in the "public" slab.h and exported so that those implementations can be static inline and distinguish the build-time constant size variants. The only other users for some of the internal functions are slub_kunit and fortify_kunit tests which make very short-lived allocations. Therefore we can stop wrapping them with the alloc_hooks() macro. Instead add a __ prefix to all of them and a comment documenting these as internal. Also rename __kmalloc_trace() to __kmalloc_cache() which is more descriptive - it is a variant of __kmalloc() where the exact kmalloc cache has been already determined. The usage in fortify_kunit can be removed completely, as the internal functions should be tested already through kmalloc() tests in the test variant that passes non-constant allocation size.

* | mm/slab: fix 'variable obj_exts set but not used' warningSuren Baghdasaryan2024-06-241-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | slab_post_alloc_hook() uses prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook() to obtain slabobj_ext object. Currently the only user of slabobj_ext object in this path is memory allocation profiling, therefore when it's not enabled this object is not needed. This also generates a warning when compiling with CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=n. Move the code under this configuration to fix the warning. If more slabobj_ext users appear in the future, the code will have to be changed back to call prepare_slab_obj_exts_hook().

| * mm, slab: move memcg charging to post-alloc hookVlastimil Babka2024-04-251-103/+77

This patch (of 2): The MEMCG_KMEM integration with slab currently relies on two hooks during allocation. memcg_slab_pre_alloc_hook() determines the objcg and charges it, and memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() assigns the objcg pointer to the allocated object(s). As Linus pointed out, this is unnecessarily complex. Failing to charge due to memcg limits should be rare, so we can optimistically allocate the object(s) and do the charging together with assigning the objcg pointer in a single post_alloc hook. In the rare case the charging fails, we can free the object(s) back. This simplifies the code (no need to pass around the objcg pointer) and potentially allows to separate charging from allocation in cases where it's common that the allocation would be immediately freed, and the memcg handling overhead could be saved.

The memcg hook changes are going through the mm tree due to dependencies. - Prevent stalls when reading /proc/slabinfo (Jianfeng Wang) This fixes the long-standing problem that can happen with workloads that have alloc/free patterns resulting in many partially used slabs (in e.g. dentry cache). Reading /proc/slabinfo will traverse the long partial slab list under spinlock with disabled irqs and thus can stall other processes or even trigger the lockup detection. The traversal is only done to count free objects so that <active_objs> column can be reported along with <num_objs>. To avoid affecting fast paths with another shared counter (attempted in the past) or complex partial list traversal schemes that allow rescheduling, the chosen solution resorts to approximation - when the partial list is over 10000 slabs long, we will only traverse first 5000 slabs from head and tail each and use the average of those to estimate the whole list. Both head and tail are used as the slabs near head to tend to have more free objects than the slabs towards the tail. It is expected the approximation should not break existing /proc/slabinfo consumers. The <num_objs> field is still accurate and reflects the overall kmem_cache footprint. The <active_objs> was already imprecise due to cpu and percpu-partial slabs, so can't be relied upon to determine exact cache usage. The difference between <active_objs> and <num_objs> is mainly useful to determine the slab fragmentation, and that will be possible even with the approximation in place. - Prevent allocating many slabs when a NUMA node is full (Chen Jun) Currently, on NUMA systems with a node under significantly bigger pressure than other nodes, the fallback strategy may result in each kmalloc_node() that can't be safisfied from the preferred node, to allocate a new slab on a fallback node, and not reuse the slabs already on that node's partial list. This is now fixed and partial lists of fallback nodes are checked even for kmalloc_node() allocations. It's still preferred to allocate a new slab on the requested node before a fallback, but only with a GFP_NOWAIT attempt, which will fail quickly when the node is under a significant memory pressure. - More SLAB removal related cleanups (Xiu Jianfeng, Hyunmin Lee) - Fix slub_kunit self-test with hardened freelists (Guenter Roeck) - Mark racy accesses for KCSAN (linke li) - Misc cleanups (Xiongwei Song, Haifeng Xu, Sangyun Kim)" * tag 'slab-for-6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: mm/slub: remove the check for NULL kmalloc_caches mm/slub: create kmalloc 96 and 192 caches regardless cache size order mm/slub: mark racy access on slab->freelist slub: use count_partial_free_approx() in slab_out_of_memory() slub: introduce count_partial_free_approx() slub: Set __GFP_COMP in kmem_cache by default mm/slub: remove duplicate initialization for early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() mm/slub: correct comment in do_slab_free() mm/slub, kunit: Use inverted data to corrupt kmem cache mm/slub: simplify get_partial_node() mm/slub: add slub_get_cpu_partial() helper mm/slub: remove the check of !kmem_cache_has_cpu_partial() mm/slub: Reduce memory consumption in extreme scenarios mm/slub: mark racy accesses on slab->slabs mm/slub: remove dummy slabinfo functions

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | slab_out_of_memory() uses count_partial() to get the exact count of free objects for each node. As it may get called in the slab allocation path, count_partial_free_approx() can be used to avoid the risk and overhead of traversing a long partial slab list. At the same time, show_slab_objects() still uses count_partial(). Thus, slub users can still have the option to access the exact count of objects via sysfs if the overhead is acceptable to them.

| * | slub: introduce count_partial_free_approx()Jianfeng Wang2024-04-231-1/+38

The current implementation uses count_partial() to get it by scanning each kmem_cache_node's partial slab list and summing free objects from every partial slab. This process must hold per-kmem_cache_node spinlock and disable IRQ, and may take a long time. Consequently, it can block slab allocations on other CPUs and cause timeouts for network devices, when the partial list is long. In production, even NMI watchdog can be triggered due to this matter: e.g., for "buffer_head", the number of partial slabs was observed to be ~1M in one kmem_cache_node. This problem was also confirmed by others [1-3]. Iterating a partial list to get the exact count of objects can cause soft lockups for a long list with or without the lock (e.g., if preemption is disabled), and may not be very useful: the object count can change after the lock is released. The approach of maintaining free-object counters requires atomic operations on the fast path [3]. So, the fix is to introduce count_partial_free_approx(). This function can be used for getting the free object count in a kmem_cache_node's partial list. It limits the number of slabs to scan and avoids scanning the whole list by giving an approximation for a long list. Suppose the limit is N. If the list's length is not greater than N, output the exact count by traversing the list; if its length is greater than N, output an approximated count by traversing a subset of the list. The proposed method is to scan N/2 slabs from the list's head and N/2 slabs from the tail. For a partial list with ~280K slabs, benchmarks show that it performs better than just counting from the list's head, after slabs get sorted by kmem_cache_shrink(). Default the limit to 10000, as it produces an approximation within 1% of the exact count for both scenarios. Then, use count_partial_free_approx() in get_slabinfo().

However, since the allocated folio does not belong to the requested node, on the following allocation it is deactivated and added to the partial slab list of the node it belongs to. This behavior can result in excessive memory usage when the requested node has insufficient memory, as SLUB will repeatedly allocate folios from other nodes without reusing the previously allocated ones. To prevent memory wastage, when a preferred node is indicated (not NUMA_NO_NODE) but without a prior __GFP_THISNODE constraint: 1) try to get a partial slab from target node only by having __GFP_THISNODE in pc.flags for get_partial() 2) if 1) failed, try to allocate a new slab from target node with GFP_NOWAIT | __GFP_THISNODE opportunistically. 3) if 2) failed, retry with original gfpflags which will allow get_partial() try partial lists of other nodes before potentially allocating new page from other nodes Without a preferred node, or with __GFP_THISNODE constraint, the behavior remains unchanged.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 284f17ac13fe ("mm/slub: handle bulk and single object freeing separately") splits single and bulk object freeing in two functions slab_free() and slab_free_bulk() which leads slab_free() to call slab_free_hook() directly instead of slab_free_freelist_hook(). If `init_on_free` is set, slab_free_hook() zeroes the object. Afterward, if `slub_debug=F` and `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED` are set, the do_slab_free() slowpath executes freelist consistency checks and try to decode a zeroed freepointer which leads to a "Freepointer corrupt" detection in check_object(). During bulk free, slab_free_freelist_hook() isn't affected as it always sets it objects freepointer using set_freepointer() to maintain its reconstructed freelist after `init_on_free`. For single free, object's freepointer thus needs to be avoided when stored outside the object if `init_on_free` is set. The freepointer left as is, check_object() may later detect an invalid pointer value due to objects overflow. To reproduce, set `slub_debug=FU init_on_free=1 log_level=7` on the command line of a kernel build with `CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y`. dmesg sample log: [ 10.708715] ============================================================================= [ 10.710323] BUG kmalloc-rnd-05-32 (Tainted: G B T ): Freepointer corrupt [ 10.712695] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ 10.712695] [ 10.712695] Slab 0xffffd8bdc400d580 objects=32 used=4 fp=0xffff9d9a80356f80 flags=0x200000000000a00(workingset|slab|node=0|zone=2) [ 10.716698] Object 0xffff9d9a80356600 @offset=1536 fp=0x7ee4f480ce0ecd7c [ 10.716698] [ 10.716698] Bytes b4 ffff9d9a803565f0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't use the object_size parameter in kmem_cache_flags(), so just remove it. Signed-off-by: Chengming Zhou <chengming.zhou@linux.dev> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
* | mm/slub: remove parameter 'flags' in create_kmalloc_caches()Zheng Yejian2024-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit 16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"), parameter 'flags' is only passed as 0 in create_kmalloc_caches(), and then it is only passed to new_kmalloc_cache(). So we can change parameter 'flags' to be a local variable with initial value 0 in new_kmalloc_cache() and remove parameter 'flags' in create_kmalloc_caches(). Also make new_kmalloc_cache() static due to it is only used in mm/slab_common.c.
