Konstantin Khlebnikov 3e810ae2db mm/slub: allow merging when SLAB_DEBUG_FREE is set
This patch fixes creation of new kmem-caches after enabling
sanity_checks for existing mergeable kmem-caches in runtime: before that
patch creation fails because unique name in sysfs already taken by
existing kmem-cache.

Unlike other debug options this doesn't change object layout and could
be enabled and disabled at any time.

Christoph Lameter a9730fca99 Fix kmalloc slab creation sequence
This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit
4066c33d03 and also reverts the portions that introduced the
KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros. Those can never really work since the slab creation
is much more complex than just going from a minimum to a maximum number.

The latest upstream kernel boots cleanly on my machine with a 64 bit x86
configuration under KVM using either SLAB or SLUB.

Fixes: 4066c33d03 ("support the slub_debug boot option")

Daniel Sanders 34cc6990d4 slab: correct size_index table before replacing the bootstrap kmem_cache_node
This patch moves the initialization of the size_index table slightly
earlier so that the first few kmem_cache_node's can be safely allocated
when KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is large.

There are currently two ways to generate indices into kmalloc_caches (via
kmalloc_index() and via the size_index table in slab_common.c) and on some
arches (possibly only MIPS) they potentially disagree with each other
until create_kmalloc_caches() has been called.  It seems that the
intention is that the size_index table is a fast equivalent to
kmalloc_index() and that create_kmalloc_caches() patches the table to
return the correct value for the cases where kmalloc_index()'s
if-statements apply.

The failing sequence was:
* kmalloc_caches contains NULL elements
* kmem_cache_init initialises the element that 'struct
  kmem_cache_node' will be allocated to. For 32-bit Mips, this is a
  56-byte struct and kmalloc_index returns KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW (7).
* init_list is called which calls kmalloc_node to allocate a 'struct
  kmem_cache_node'.
* kmalloc_slab selects the kmem_caches element using
  size_index[size_index_elem(size)]. For MIPS, size is 56, and the
  expression returns 6.
* This element of kmalloc_caches is NULL and allocation fails.
* If it had not already failed, it would have called
  create_kmalloc_caches() at this point which would have changed
  size_index[size_index_elem(size)] to 7.

I don't believe the bug to be LLVM specific but GCC doesn't normally
encounter the problem.  I haven't been able to identify exactly what GCC
is doing better (probably inlining) but it seems that GCC is managing to
optimize to the point that it eliminates the problematic allocations.
This theory is supported by the fact that GCC can be made to fail in the
same way by changing inline, __inline, __inline__, and __always_inline in
include/linux/compiler-gcc.h such that they don't actually inline things.

Gavin Guo 4066c33d03 mm/slab_common: support the slub_debug boot option on specific object size
The slub_debug=PU,kmalloc-xx cannot work because in the
create_kmalloc_caches() the s->name is created after the
create_kmalloc_cache() is called.  The name is NULL in the
create_kmalloc_cache() so the kmem_cache_flags() would not set the
slub_debug flags to the s->flags.  The fix here set up a kmalloc_names
string array for the initialization purpose and delete the dynamic name
creation of kmalloc_caches.

Andrey Ryabinin 0316bec22e mm: slub: add kernel address sanitizer support for slub allocator
With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by
slub.  Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as
redzone.  Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by
caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object
(including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible).

We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object.
There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire
size of really allocated area.  Such callers could validly access whole
allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible.

Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's
metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

Vladimir Davydov d6e0b7fa11 slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately
To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node
partial lists instead of freeing them immediately.  This prevents per
memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup
are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed.

To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1].
It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the
cache belongs to was destroyed.  It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's
cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so
that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0.

The runtime overhead is minimal.  From all the hot functions, we only
touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call
unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline
memory cgroup.  Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a
partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead
caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead.  We do have to disable preemption
for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though.

The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree.
However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg
core at that time.  I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for
kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it
as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB
does not keep free slabs on a separate list.  Besides, we currently do not
even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs.  Overall, it would
introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small
patch.

Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks
per-cpu/node caches periodically.  Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no
longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a
per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

We need to look up a kmem_cache in ->memcg_params.memcg_caches arrays only
on allocations, so there is no need to have the array entries set until
css free - we can clear them on css offline.  This will allow us to reuse

Vladimir Davydov f1008365bb slab: use css id for naming per memcg caches
Currently, we use mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id to guarantee kmem_cache->name
uniqueness.  This is correct, because kmemcg_id is only released on css
free after destroying all per memcg caches.

However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline,
because it is not wise to keep it for so long, wasting valuable entries of
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches arrays.  Therefore, to preserve cache
name uniqueness, let us switch to css->id.

Vladimir Davydov 426589f571 slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a list
Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root
kmem cache.  Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for
that, because it contains all existing memcg caches.

However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that
belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing
beyond any bounds then.  I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to
save space.  To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches
of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

Vladimir Davydov f7ce3190c4 slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache
Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it.  The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled.  However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:

* Initially:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct list_head list;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
			bool dead;
			atomic_t nr_pages;
			struct work_struct destroy;
		};
	};
};

* Now:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct {
			struct rcu_head rcu_head;
			struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		};
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
		};
	};
};

So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.

OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch.  That said, let
us embed it.

Vladimir Davydov 05257a1a3d memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocation
We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create()
(memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only
hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks.  As a result, we have to
update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take
on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size).  This looks awkward
and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which
also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids.

To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the
slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem.  The rwsem is held
for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids
updates.  Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access
to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids.

Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from
kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now
there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex.  However, once
list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to
proceed concurrently.

Vladimir Davydov d5b3cf7139 memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex
mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to
the given cgroup.  Currently, it is only used on css free in order to
destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed.  The
list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex.  The mutex is also used to protect
kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes
kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches.

However, we can perfectly get on without these two.  To destroy all caches
corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem
caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the
slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex.  This patch therefore gets rid
of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex.

Apart from this nice cleanup, it also:

 - assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is
   destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have
   SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set;

 - fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that
   exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from
   kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0,
   releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to
   make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

Vladimir Davydov b047501cd9 memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfo
Let's use generic slab_start/next/stop for showing memcg caches info.  In
contrast to the current implementation, this will work even if all memcg
caches' info doesn't fit into a seq buffer (a page), plus it simply looks
neater.

Actually, the main reason I do this isn't mere cleanup.  I'm going to zap
the memcg_slab_caches list, because I find it useless provided we have the
slab_caches list, and this patch is a step in this direction.

It should be noted that before this patch an attempt to read
memory.kmem.slabinfo of a cgroup that doesn't have kmem limit set resulted
in -EIO, while after this patch it will silently show nothing except the
header, but I don't think it will frustrate anyone.

Joonsoo Kim 5436205738 mm/slab: reverse iteration on find_mergeable()
Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab
in the SLAB.  This causes the unalignment problem when after slab merging
is supported by commit 12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge").
Alignment mismatch check is introduced ("mm/slab: fix unalignment problem
on Malta with EVA due to slab merge") to prevent merge in this case.

This causes undesirable result that merging happens between infrequently
used kmem_caches if there are kmem_caches with same size and is 256 bytes,
are merged into pool_workqueue rather than kmalloc-256, because
kmem_caches for kmalloc are at the tail of the list.

To prevent this situation, this patch reverses iteration order in
find_mergeable() to find frequently used kmem_caches.  This change helps
to merge kmem_cache to frequently used kmem_caches, such as kmalloc

Vladimir Davydov 1df3b26f20 slab: print slabinfo header in seq show
Currently we print the slabinfo header in the seq start method, which
makes it unusable for showing leaks, so we have leaks_show, which does
practically the same as s_show except it doesn't show the header.

However, we can print the header in the seq show method - we only need
to check if the current element is the first on the list.  This will
allow us to use the same set of seq iterators for both leaks and
slabinfo reporting, which is nice.

Joonsoo Kim 95069ac8da mm/slab: fix unalignment problem on Malta with EVA due to slab merge
Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the
slab in SLAB.  This causes the unalignment problem after slab merging is
supported by commit 12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge").

Following is the report from Markos that fail to boot on Malta with EVA.

alloc_unbound_pwq() allocates slab object from pool_workqueue.  This
kmem_cache requires 256 bytes alignment, but, current merging code
doesn't honor that, and merge it with kmalloc-256.  kmalloc-256 requires
only cacheline size alignment so that above failure occurs.  However, in
x86, kmalloc-256 is luckily aligned in 256 bytes, so the problem didn't
happen on it.

To fix this problem, this patch introduces alignment mismatch check in
find_mergeable().  This will fix the problem.

Mikulas Patocka 8aba7e0a2c mm/slab_common: don't check for duplicate cache names
The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there
was long standing bug with this behavior:

 - create the cache named "foo"
 - create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo")
 - delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar"
   uses it)
 - create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo"
   is already used

That bug was fixed in commit 694617474e ("slab_common: fix the check
for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when
the SLUB subsystem is used.

Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in
12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")).  Therefore we need stop
checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.

This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

Vladimir Davydov 6f817f4cda memcg: move memcg_update_cache_size() to slab_common.c
`While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
slab_common.c in a weird way:

  memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
    memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
      memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c

There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
slab's side though.  So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
per-memcg cache allocation functions.

Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
slab_common.c.

Vladimir Davydov 33a690c45b memcg: move memcg_{alloc,free}_cache_params to slab_common.c
The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
reference to the owner memory cgroup in them.  However, we can do that in
memcg_{un,}register_cache.  OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
to slab_common.c.

First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
memcontrol.h the better.  Since the functions I move don't depend on
memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.

Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
(memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
(memcg_update_array_size).  In the following patches I move the function
relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
therefore get rid this circular call path.  I think we should have the
cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
it's easier to follow the code then.  So I move arrays alloc/free
functions to slab_common.c too.

The third point isn't obvious.  I'm going to make the list_lru structure
per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim.  That means we will have
per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too.  It turns out that it's much easier to
update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
the stuff we need is defined there.  This patch makes memcg caches arrays
allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.

So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

Joonsoo Kim 07f361b2be mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header
We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size().  According to my code inspection,
this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
it.  Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
internal header.

After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
kernel build.  For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
full kernel build.

Vladimir Davydov 0bd62b1190 slab: delete cache from list after __kmem_cache_shutdown succeeds
Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
__kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
41a212859a ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
release the lock.  Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

Vladimir Davydov bd67314586 memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme
At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
memcg kmem caches:

 - slab_mutex.  This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
   and destruction paths.  We also take it when updating per root cache
   memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches).  As a result, taking
   it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
   memcg).  Why do we need something else then?  The point is it is
   private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
   other mutexes (get_online_cpus).  So we just don't want to rely upon it
   and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.

 - activate_kmem_mutex.  Initially it was added to synchronize
   initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem).  However, since we can
   grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
   initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
   protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g.  see
   __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).

 - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
   want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g.  for
   destroying all memcg caches on offline).  So we have per memcg
   slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.

The mutexes are taken in the following order:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex

Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:

 - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
   memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order.  As a result, in
   mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
   memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.

 - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
   between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
   destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).  Currently we just
   don't bother about it.

This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex.  It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists.  The locking
order is following:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex

This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex.  As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.

Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g.  mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.

The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

Vladimir Davydov 03afc0e25f slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.

To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
instance, in case of slub:

    CPU0                            CPU1
    ----                            ----
    kmem_cache_create:              online_pages:
     __kmem_cache_create:            slab_memory_callback:
                                      slab_mem_going_online_callback:
                                       lock slab_mutex
                                       for each slab_caches list entry
                                           allocate kmem_cache node
                                       unlock slab_mutex
      lock slab_mutex
      init_kmem_cache_nodes:
       for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
           allocate kmem_cache node
      add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
      unlock slab_mutex
                                    online_pages (continued):
                                     node_states_set_node

As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.

To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.

Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

Vladimir Davydov 52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.

The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

Vladimir Davydov 5dfb417509 sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitly
We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there.  All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.

This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG.  It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags.  Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.

This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to.  That's why this
patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

Mikulas Patocka 694617474e slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names
The patch 3e374919b3 is supposed to fix the
problem where kmem_cache_create incorrectly reports duplicate cache name
and fails. The problem is described in the header of that patch.

However, the patch doesn't really fix the problem because of these
reasons:

* the logic to test for debugging is reversed. It was intended to perform
  the check only if slub debugging is enabled (which implies that caches
  with the same parameters are not merged). Therefore, there should be
  #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
  The current code has the condition reversed and performs the test if
  debugging is disabled.

* slub debugging may be enabled or disabled based on kernel command line,
  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is just the default settings. Therefore the test
  based on definition of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is unreliable.

This patch fixes the problem by removing the test
"!defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)". Therefore, duplicate names are never
checked if the SLUB allocator is used.

Note to stable kernel maintainers: when backporint this patch, please
backport also the patch 3e374919b3.

Vladimir Davydov b8529907ba memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy().  This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return.  In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:

  kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.

This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases.  Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.

Vladimir Davydov 051dd46050 memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it
Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.

As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).

To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:

- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
  from kmem_cache_create_memcg().  This allows us to get rid of the mutex
  protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
  the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.

- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This function serves as a proxy
  to kmem_cache_create_memcg().  After separating the cache name creation
  path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

Vladimir Davydov a44cb94491 memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.

Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.

The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.

So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

Dave Jones ba3253c78d slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path
On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb ("slab:
do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err && !memcg) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
f717eb3abb intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
check should look like this:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            if (!memcg)
                return NULL;
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

Vladimir Davydov 2edefe1155 memcg, slab: fix races in per-memcg cache creation/destruction
We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  If we find
no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The cache creation proceeds
asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed.  However, due
to a race in the code, it is not always true.  The point is that the
memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()).  If
memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.

Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache.  One of them
successfully creates it.  Another one should fail then, but if
memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
follows, it won't:

  memcg_create_kmem_cache()             memcg_update_cache_size()
  (called w/o mutexes held)             (called with slab_mutex,
                                         set_limit_mutex held)
  -------------------------             -------------------------

  mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

                                        s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)

  new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
  // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation

                                        s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
                                            =cur_params->memcg_caches[i]

  // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
  // so we will hang around until
  // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
  // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
  // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
  // memcg_register_cache!

  new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
  mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
return NULL if so.

A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
kmem_cache_destroy()).  Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer.  Therefore
memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
slab_mutex.

Vladimir Davydov 1aa1325425 memcg, slab: clean up memcg cache initialization/destruction
Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg
kmem cache initialization/destruction.

Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This
function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a
kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the
memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache.

During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following
memcg-related functions:

 - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly
   created cache;
 - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches
   list.

On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction
only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the
reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches,
removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees
memcg_params.

Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make
the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit.

This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg
caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its
parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and
memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and
destruction paths look symmetrical.

conditionals, without using gotos.  This results in the rollback code
duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on
error we should only free the allocated cache.  Since in the next patch
I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path
there, let's employ labels instead of conditionals for undoing any
changes on failure to keep things clean.
