Gilad Ben-Yossef a8364d5555 slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush
flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy().  So every cache being
destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system,
regardless if the cache has ever been used there.

For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the
close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy().  So running some infiniband
config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt
the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency
sensitive task.

I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git
grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario.

This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the
per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such
objects.

The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU
without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell
the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so
if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for
locking regardless.

Without this patch the following artificial test case:

$ cd /sys/kernel/slab
$ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done

produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none.

The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
config was tested using fault injection framework.

Mel Gorman cc9a6c8776 cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3
Commit c0ff7453bb ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when
changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of
memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit.

[get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory
barriers inserted into a number of hot paths.  This was detected while
investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time
after 2.6.32.  The largest portion of this overhead was shown by
oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page
allocator hot path.

For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an
implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex.

This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write
sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path
side.  This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86.  The
main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a
manner that can cause a false failure.

While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure
is a risk.  If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel
allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place.

In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from
__alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.  The
actual results were

The overall improvement is small but the System CPU time is much
improved and roughly in correlation to what oprofile reported (these
performance figures are without profiling so skew is expected).  The
actual number of page faults is noticeably improved.

For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but
the system CPU time is slightly reduced.

To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals.  The
first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that
faulted 100M of anonymous data.  In a second window, the nodemask of the
cpuset was continually randomised in a loop.

Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually
within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine.
With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be
functionally equivalent.

Alex Shi 8028dcea8a slub: per cpu partial statistics change
This patch split the cpu_partial_free into 2 parts: cpu_partial_node, PCP refilling
times from node partial; and same name cpu_partial_free, PCP refilling times in
slab_free slow path. A new statistic 'cpu_partial_drain' is added to get PCP
drain to node partial times. These info are useful when do PCP tunning.

The slabinfo.c code is unchanged, since cpu_partial_node is not on slow path.

Christoph Lameter 66c4c35c6b slub: Do not hold slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()
sysfs_slab_add() calls various sysfs functions that actually may
end up in userspace doing all sorts of things.

Release the slub_lock after adding the kmem_cache structure to the list.
At that point the address of the kmem_cache is not known so we are
guaranteed exlusive access to the following modifications to the
kmem_cache structure.

If the sysfs_slab_add fails then reacquire the slub_lock to
remove the kmem_cache structure from the list.

Eric Dumazet 0ad9500e16 slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc()
Recycling a page is a problem, since freelist link chain is hot on
cpu(s) which freed objects, and possibly very cold on cpu currently
owning slab.

Adding a prefetch of cache line containing the pointer to next object in
slab_alloc() helps a lot in many workloads, in particular on assymetric
ones (allocations done on one cpu, frees on another cpus). Added cost is
three machine instructions only.

Examples on my dual socket quad core ht machine (Intel CPU E5540
@2.53GHz) (16 logical cpus, 2 memory nodes), 64bit kernel.

Heiko Carstens 43570fd2f4 mm,slub,x86: decouple size of struct page from CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL
While implementing cmpxchg_double() on s390 I realized that we don't set
CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL despite the fact that we have support for it.

However setting that option will increase the size of struct page by
eight bytes on 64 bit, which we certainly do not want.  Also, it doesn't
make sense that a present cpu feature should increase the size of struct
page.

Besides that it looks like the dependency to CMPXCHG_LOCAL is wrong and
that it should depend on CMPXCHG_DOUBLE instead.

This patch:

If an architecture supports CMPXCHG_LOCAL this shouldn't result
automatically in larger struct pages if the SLUB allocator is used.
Instead introduce a new config option "HAVE_ALIGNED_STRUCT_PAGE" which
can be selected if a double word aligned struct page is required.  Also
update x86 Kconfig so that it should work as before.

Jan Beulich cdcd629869 x86: Fix and improve cmpxchg_double{,_local}()
Just like the per-CPU ones they had several
problems/shortcomings:

Only the first memory operand was mentioned in the asm()
operands, and the 2x64-bit version didn't have a memory clobber
while the 2x32-bit one did. The former allowed the compiler to
not recognize the need to re-load the data in case it had it
cached in some register, while the latter was overly
destructive.

The types of the local copies of the old and new values were
incorrect (the types of the pointed-to variables should be used
here, to make sure the respective old/new variable types are
compatible).

The __dummy/__junk variables were pointless, given that local
copies of the inputs already existed (and can hence be used for
discarded outputs).

The 32-bit variant of cmpxchg_double_local() referenced
cmpxchg16b_local().

At once also:

 - change the return value type to what it really is: 'bool'
 - unify 32- and 64-bit variants

Christoph Lameter 933393f58f percpu: Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants
We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state.  That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations.  However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

-tj: This is part of on-going percpu API cleanup.  For detailed
     discussion of the subject, please refer to the following thread.

Shaohua Li b13683d1cc slub: add missed accounting
With per-cpu partial list, slab is added to partial list first and then moved
to node list. The __slab_free() code path for add/remove_partial is almost
deprecated(except for slub debug). But we forget to account add/remove_partial
when move per-cpu partial pages to node list, so the statistics for such events
are always 0. Add corresponding accounting.

This is against the patch "slub: use correct parameter to add a page to

Eric Dumazet 73736e0387 slub: fix a possible memleak in __slab_alloc()
Zhihua Che reported a possible memleak in slub allocator on
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y builds.

It is possible current thread migrates right before disabling irqs in
__slab_alloc(). We must check again c->freelist, and perform a normal
allocation instead of scratching c->freelist.

Many thanks to Zhihua Che for spotting this bug, introduced in 2.6.39

V2: Its also possible an IRQ freed one (or several) object(s) and
populated c->freelist, so its not a CONFIG_PREEMPT only problem.

Vasiliy Kulikov ab067e99d2 mm: restrict access to slab files under procfs and sysfs
Historically /proc/slabinfo and files under /sys/kernel/slab/* have
world read permissions and are accessible to the world.  slabinfo
contains rather private information related both to the kernel and
userspace tasks.  Depending on the situation, it might reveal either
private information per se or information useful to make another
targeted attack.  Some examples of what can be learned by
reading/watching for /proc/slabinfo entries:

1) dentry (and different *inode*) number might reveal other processes fs
activity.  The number of dentry "active objects" doesn't strictly show
file count opened/touched by a process, however, there is a good
correlation between them.  The patch "proc: force dcache drop on
unauthorized access" relies on the privacy of dentry count.

2) different inode entries might reveal the same information as (1), but
these are more fine granted counters.  If a filesystem is mounted in a
private mount point (or even a private namespace) and fs type differs from
other mounted fs types, fs activity in this mount point/namespace is
revealed.  If there is a single ecryptfs mount point, the whole fs
activity of a single user is revealed.  Number of files in ecryptfs
mount point is a private information per se.

3) fuse_* reveals number of files / fs activity of a user in a user
private mount point.  It is approx. the same severity as ecryptfs
infoleak in (2).

4) sysfs_dir_cache similar to (2) reveals devices' addition/removal,
which can be otherwise hidden by "chmod 0700 /sys/".  With 0444 slabinfo
the precise number of sysfs files is known to the world.

5) buffer_head might reveal some kernel activity.  With other
information leaks an attacker might identify what specific kernel
routines generate buffer_head activity.

6) *kmalloc* infoleaks are very situational.  Attacker should watch for
the specific kmalloc size entry and filter the noise related to the unrelated
kernel activity.  If an attacker has relatively silent victim system, he
might get rather precise counters.

Additional information sources might significantly increase the slabinfo
infoleak benefits.  E.g. if an attacker knows that the processes
activity on the system is very low (only core daemons like syslog and
cron), he may run setxid binaries / trigger local daemon activity /
trigger network services activity / await sporadic cron jobs activity
/ etc. and get rather precise counters for fs and network activity of
these privileged tasks, which is unknown otherwise.

Also hiding slabinfo and /sys/kernel/slab/* is a one step to complicate
exploitation of kernel heap overflows (and possibly, other bugs).  The
related discussion:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1108378

To keep compatibility with old permission model where non-root
monitoring daemon could watch for kernel memleaks though slabinfo one
should do:

    groupadd slabinfo
    usermod -a -G slabinfo $MONITOR_USER

And add the following commands to init scripts (to mountall.conf in
Ubuntu's upstart case):

    chmod g+r /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*
    chgrp slabinfo /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*

Shaohua Li 130655ef09 slub: add slab with one free object to partial list tail
The slab has just one free object, adding it to partial list head doesn't make
sense. And it can cause lock contentation. For example,
1. CPU takes the slab from partial list
2. fetch an object
3. switch to another slab
4. free an object, then the slab is added to partial list again
In this way n->list_lock will be heavily contended.
In fact, Alex had a hackbench regression. 3.1-rc1 performance drops about 70%
against 3.0. This patch fixes it.

Christoph Lameter 49e2258586 slub: per cpu cache for partial pages
Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to
partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid
per node lock taking.

In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per
node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure.

We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning
partial lists for pages with free objects.

The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock
is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones.

Potential future enhancements:

1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling
   interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the
   per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts.

2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

	B. During kmem_cache_close()

For A build a list while holding the lock and then release the pages

there is no need to take the listlock.

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of

empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.

Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging.  It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.

If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work.  Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.

	value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
	value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;

The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8.  The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.

This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

Christoph Lameter 9e577e8b46 slub: When allocating a new slab also prep the first object
We need to branch to the debug code for the first object if we allocate
a new slab otherwise the first object will be marked wrongly as inactive.
