But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-) Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic. As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the __slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the wrong node in slab_alloc(). The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the freelist of the wrong page. The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is possible. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are able to perform the same allocation from the freelist. Check for the NULL pointer in node_match. A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.

Currently, we calculate "available = page->objects - page->inuse", after acquire_slab() is called in get_partial_node(). In acquire_slab() with mode = 1, we always set new.inuse = page->objects. So, acquire_slab(s, n, page, object == NULL); if (!object) { c->page = page; stat(s, ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL); object = t; available = page->objects - page->inuse; !!! availabe is always 0 !!! ... Therfore, "available > s->cpu_partial / 2" is always false and we always go to second iteration. This patch correct this problem. After that, we don't need return value of put_cpu_partial(). So remove it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After we create a boot cache, we may allocate from it until it is bootstraped. This will move the page from the partial list to the cpu slab list. If this happens, the loop: list_for_each_entry(p, &n->partial, lru) that we use to scan for all partial pages will yield nothing, and the pages will keep pointing to the boot cpu cache, which is of course, invalid. To do that, we should flush the cache to make sure that the cpu slab is back to the partial list.

* slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entryGlauber Costa2012-12-181-1/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series. In short, slab_mutex will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function. This will create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then calls in to the sysfs directory removal function. In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what __kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove. This is pretty much the last operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by splitting this and moving this call alone to later on. This will fit nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look weird now.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation. First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in memcontrol.h. The usages already in the codebase are safe. In mm/slub.c, it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop. In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is indeed safe. A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

* slub: slub-specific propagation changesGlauber Costa2012-12-181-1/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active.

We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab. No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in the kmem memcg patches). Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with all flags that are valid at creation time. Allocators that doesn't have any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags. Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now, slab and slub have fields in struct page to derive which cache a page belongs to, but they do it slightly differently. slab uses a field called slab_cache, that lives in the third double word. slub, uses a field called "slab", living outside of the doublewords area. Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area. The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is preferred over slub's generic "slab".

This is the necessary step for preventing a race. After taking a lock, then we try to cmpxchg_double_slab(). But, there is a possible scenario that cmpxchg_double_slab() is failed with taking a lock. Following example explains it. CPU A CPU B need lock ... need lock ... lock!! lock..but spin free success spin... unlock lock!! free fail In this case, retry with taking a lock is occured in CPU A. I think that in this case for CPU A, "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" is preferable way. There are two reasons for this. First, this makes __slab_free()'s logic somehow simple. With this patch, 'was_frozen = 1' is "always" handled without taking a lock. So we can remove one code path. Second, it may reduce lock contention. When we do retrying, status of slab is already changed, so we don't need a lock anymore in almost every case. "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" policy is helpful to this.

* / slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removingLai Jiangshan2012-12-111-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the other node's hot-adding and hot-removing. Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB. And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory, we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node. (The current code delays it when all of the memory is offlined) So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0. marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here. The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3 for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates kmem_list3 on alien nodes. SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node. The patch makes SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.

Earlier patches in the common set moved the zeroing of the kmem_cache structure into common code. See "Move allocation of kmem_cache into common code". The allocation for the two special structures is still done from SLUB specific code but no zeroing is done since the cache creation functions used to zero. This now needs to be updated so that the structures are zeroed during allocation in kmem_cache_init(). Otherwise random pointer values may be followed.

So add a call to deal with aliases to slab_common.c but disable it for other slab allocators by providng stubs that fail to create aliases.
