IMA: use rbtree instead of radix tree for inode information cache
The IMA code needs to store the number of tasks which have an open fd
granting permission to write a file even when IMA is not in use. It
needs this information in order to be enabled at a later point in time
without losing it's integrity garantees.
At the moment that means we store a little bit of data about every inode
in a cache. We use a radix tree key'd on the inode's memory address.
Dave Chinner pointed out that a radix tree is a terrible data structure
for such a sparse key space. This patch switches to using an rbtree
which should be more efficient.
Bug report from Dave:
"I just noticed that slabtop was reporting an awfully high usage of
radix tree nodes:
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
4200331 2778082 66% 0.55K 144839 29 2317424K radix_tree_node
2321500 2060290 88% 1.00K 72581 32 2322592K xfs_inode
2235648 2069791 92% 0.12K 69864 32 279456K iint_cache
That is, 2.7M radix tree nodes are allocated, and the cache itself is
consuming 2.3GB of RAM. I know that the XFS inodei caches are indexed
by radix tree node, but for 2 million cached inodes that would mean a
density of 1 inode per radix tree node, which for a system with 16M
inodes in the filsystems is an impossibly low density. The worst I've
seen in a production system like kernel.org is about 20-25% density,
which would mean about 150-200k radix tree nodes for that many inodes.
So it's not the inode cache.
So I looked up what the iint_cache was. It appears to used for
storing per-inode IMA information, and uses a radix tree for indexing.
It uses the *address* of the struct inode as the indexing key. That
means the key space is extremely sparse - for XFS the struct inode
addresses are approximately 1000 bytes apart, which means the closest
the radix tree index keys get is ~1000. Which means that there is a
single entry per radix tree leaf node, so the radix tree is using
roughly 550 bytes for every 120byte structure being cached. For the
above example, it's probably wasting close to 1GB of RAM...."
