treewide: update LLVM Bugzilla links LLVM moved their issue tracker from their own Bugzilla instance to GitHub issues. While all of the links are still valid, they may not necessarily show the most up to date information around the issues, as all updates will occur on GitHub, not Bugzilla. Another complication is that the Bugzilla issue number is not always the same as the GitHub issue number. Thankfully, LLVM maintains this mapping through two shortlinks: https://llvm.org/bz<num> -> https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=<num> https://llvm.org/pr<num> -> https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/<mapped_num> Switch all "https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=<num>" links to the "https://llvm.org/pr<num>" shortlink so that the links show the most up to date information. Each migrated issue links back to the Bugzilla entry, so there should be no loss of fidelity of information here.

mm/slab: Fix a kmemleak in kmem_cache_destroy() For earlier kmem cache creation, slab_sysfs_init() has not been called. Consequently, kmem_cache_destroy() cannot utilize kobj_type::release to release the kmem_cache structure. Therefore, tweak kmem_cache_release() to use slab_kmem_cache_release() for releasing kmem_cache when slab_state isn't FULL.

mm, slab, kasan: replace kasan_never_merge() with SLAB_NO_MERGE The SLAB_KASAN flag prevents merging of caches in some configurations, which is handled in a rather complicated way via kasan_never_merge(). Since we now have a generic SLAB_NO_MERGE flag, we can instead use it for KASAN caches in addition to SLAB_KASAN in those configurations, and simplify the SLAB_NEVER_MERGE handling.

mm/slub: unify all sl[au]b parameters with "slab_$param" Since the SLAB allocator has been removed, so we can clean up the sl[au]b_$params. With only one slab allocator left, it's better to use the generic "slab" term instead of "slub" which is an implementation detail, which is pointed out by Vlastimil Babka. For more information please see [1]. Hence, we are going to use "slab_$param" as the primary prefix. This patch is changing the following slab parameters - slub_max_order - slub_min_order - slub_min_objects - slub_debug to - slab_max_order - slab_min_order - slab_min_objects - slab_debug as the primary slab parameters for all references of them in docs and comments. But this patch won't change variables and functions inside slub as we will have wider slub/slab change. Meanwhile, "slub_$params" can also be passed by command line, which is to keep backward compatibility. Also mark all "slub_$params" as legacy. Remove the separate descriptions for slub_[no]merge, append legacy tip for them at the end of descriptions of slab_[no]merge.

mm: Remove kmem_valid_obj() Function kmem_dump_obj() will splat if passed a pointer to a non-slab object. So nothing calls it directly, instead calling kmem_valid_obj() first to determine whether the passed pointer to a valid slab object. This means that merging kmem_valid_obj() into kmem_dump_obj() will make the code more concise. Therefore, convert kmem_dump_obj() to work the same way as vmalloc_dump_obj(), removing the need for the kmem_dump_obj() caller to check kmem_valid_obj(). After this, there are no remaining calls to kmem_valid_obj() anymore, and it can be safely removed.

mm: slab: Do not create kmalloc caches smaller than arch_slab_minalign() Commit b035f5a6d852 ("mm: slab: reduce the kmalloc() minimum alignment if DMA bouncing possible") allows architectures with non-coherent DMA to define a small ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN (e.g. sizeof(unsigned long long)) and this has been enabled on arm64. With KASAN_HW_TAGS enabled, however, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN becomes 16 on arm64 (arch_slab_minalign() dynamically selects it since commit d949a8155d13 ("mm: make minimum slab alignment a runtime property")). This can lead to a situation where kmalloc-8 caches are attempted to be created with a kmem_caches.size aligned to 16. When the cache is mergeable, it can lead to kernel warnings like: sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/kernel/slab/:d-0000016' CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.6.0-rc1-00001-gda98843cd306-dirty #5 Hardware name: QEMU QEMU Virtual Machine, BIOS 0.0.0 02/06/2015 Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x90/0xe8 show_stack+0x18/0x24 dump_stack_lvl+0x48/0x60 dump_stack+0x18/0x24 sysfs_warn_dup+0x64/0x80 sysfs_create_dir_ns+0xe8/0x108 kobject_add_internal+0x98/0x264 kobject_init_and_add+0x8c/0xd8 sysfs_slab_add+0x12c/0x248 slab_sysfs_init+0x98/0x14c do_one_initcall+0x6c/0x1b0 kernel_init_freeable+0x1c0/0x288 kernel_init+0x24/0x1e0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 kobject: kobject_add_internal failed for :d-0000016 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

slab: kmalloc_size_roundup() must not return 0 for non-zero size The typical use of kmalloc_size_roundup() is: ptr = kmalloc(sz = kmalloc_size_roundup(size), ...); if (!ptr) return -ENOMEM. This means it is vitally important that the returned value isn't less than the argument even if the argument is insane. In particular if kmalloc_slab() fails or the value is above (MAX_ULONG - PAGE_SIZE) zero is returned and kmalloc() will return its single zero-length buffer ZERO_SIZE_PTR. Fix this by returning the input size if the size exceeds KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. kmalloc() will then return NULL as the size really is too big. kmalloc_slab() should not normally return NULL, unless called too early. Again, returning zero is not the correct action as it can be in some usage scenarios stored to a variable and only later cause kmalloc() return ZERO_SIZE_PTR and subsequent crashes on access. Instead we can simply stop checking the kmalloc_slab() result completely, as calling kmalloc_size_roundup() too early would then result in an immediate crash during boot and the developer noticing an issue in their code.

mm/slab_common: fix slab_caches list corruption after kmem_cache_destroy() After the commit in Fixes:, if a module that created a slab cache does not release all of its allocated objects before destroying the cache (at rmmod time), we might end up releasing the kmem_cache object without removing it from the slab_caches list thus corrupting the list as kmem_cache_destroy() ignores the return value from shutdown_cache(), which in turn never removes the kmem_cache object from slabs_list in case __kmem_cache_shutdown() fails to release all of the cache's slabs. This is easily observable on a kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y as after that ill release the system will immediately trip on list_add, or list_del, assertions similar to the one shown below as soon as another kmem_cache gets created, or destroyed: [ 1041.213632] list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff89f596fb5768, but was 52f1e5016aeee75d.

Randomized slab caches for kmalloc() When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the "heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation. Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out- of-bound write and etc. There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and 2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones. Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill. To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach: to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations in different code paths would most likely pick different caches, although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed. Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the system starts and runs, but not across different system startups. The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below: sched/ sched/ syscall/ mem/ mem/ messaging pipe basic memcpy memset (sec) (sec) (sec) (GB/sec) (GB/sec) control1 0.019 5.459 0.733 15.258789 51.398026 control2 0.019 5.439 0.730 16.009221 48.828125 control3 0.019 5.282 0.735 16.009221 48.828125 control_avg 0.019 5.393 0.733 15.759077 49.684759 experiment1 0.019 5.374 0.741 15.500992 46.502976 experiment2 0.019 5.440 0.746 16.276042 51.398026 experiment3 0.019 5.242 0.752 15.258789 51.398026 experiment_avg 0.019 5.352 0.746 15.678608 49.766343 The overhead of memory usage was measured by executing `free` after boot on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively correlated with # of cache copies: control 4 copies 8 copies 16 copies total 969.8M 968.2M 968.2M 968.2M used 20.0M 21.9M 24.1M 26.7M free 936.9M 933.6M 931.4M 928.6M available 932.2M 928.8M 926.6M 923.9M Co-developed-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: GONG, Ruiqi <gongruiqi@huaweicloud.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Acked-by: Dennis Zhou <dennis@kernel.org> # percpu Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

mm/slab: limit kmalloc() minimum alignment to dma_get_cache_alignment() Do not create kmalloc() caches which are not aligned to dma_get_cache_alignment(). There is no functional change since for current architectures defining ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN equals ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (and dma_get_cache_alignment()). On architectures without a specific ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, dma_get_cache_alignment() is 1, so no change to the kmalloc() caches.

mm/slab: introduce kmem_cache flag SLAB_NO_MERGE Allow API users of kmem_cache_create to specify that they don't want any slab merge or aliasing (with similar sized objects). Use this in kfence_test. The SKB (sk_buff) kmem_cache slab is critical for network performance. Network stack uses kmem_cache_{alloc,free}_bulk APIs to gain performance by amortising the alloc/free cost. For the bulk API to perform efficiently the slub fragmentation need to be low. Especially for the SLUB allocator, the efficiency of bulk free API depend on objects belonging to the same slab (page). When running different network performance microbenchmarks, I started to notice that performance was reduced (slightly) when machines had longer uptimes. I believe the cause was 'skbuff_head_cache' got aliased/merged into the general slub for 256 bytes sized objects (with my kernel config, without CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY). For SKB kmem_cache network stack have reasons for not merging, but it varies depending on kernel config (e.g. CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY). We want to explicitly set SLAB_NO_MERGE for this kmem_cache. Another use case for the flag has been described by David Sterba [1]: > This can be used for more fine grained control over the caches or for > debugging builds where separate slabs can verify that no objects leak. > The slab_nomerge boot option is too coarse and would need to be > enabled on all testing hosts.

That was added to prevent attackers to obtain information on the heap state. However, this PRNG turned out to be weak, as noted in commit c51f8f88d705 To fix it, we have changed the invocation of prandom_u32_state to get_random_u32 to ensure the PRNG is strong. Since a modulo operation is applied right after that, in the Fisher-Yates shuffle, we used get_random_u32_below, to achieve uniformity.

mm, slab: ignore hardened usercopy parameters when disabled With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY not enabled, there are no __check_heap_object() checks happening that would use the struct kmem_cache useroffset and usersize fields. Yet the fields are still initialized, preventing merging of otherwise compatible caches. Also the fields contribute to struct kmem_cache size unnecessarily when unused. Thus #ifdef them out completely when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is disabled. In kmem_dump_obj() print object_size instead of usersize, as that's actually the intention. In a quick virtme boot test, this has reduced the number of caches in /proc/slabinfo from 131 to 111.

mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra allocated kmalloc space than requested kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size (mostly power of 2), so there could be a extra space than what is requested, whose size is the actual buffer size minus original request size. To better detect out of bound access or abuse of this space, add redzone sanity check for it. In current kernel, some kmalloc user already knows the existence of the space and utilizes it after calling 'ksize()' to know the real size of the allocated buffer. So we skip the sanity check for objects which have been called with ksize(), as treating them as legitimate users. Kees Cook is working on sanitizing all these user cases, by using kmalloc_size_roundup() to avoid ambiguous usages. And after this is done, this special handling for ksize() can be removed. In some cases, the free pointer could be saved inside the latter part of object data area, which may overlap the redzone part(for small sizes of kmalloc objects). As suggested by Hyeonggon Yoo, force the free pointer to be in meta data area when kmalloc redzone debug is enabled, to make all kmalloc objects covered by redzone check.

mm/slab: remove !CONFIG_TRACING variants of kmalloc_[node_]trace() For !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, the kmalloc() implementation tries (in cases where the allocation size is build-time constant) to save a function call, by inlining kmalloc_trace() to a kmem_cache_alloc() call. However since commit 6edf2576a6cc ("mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc") this path now fails to pass the original request size to be eventually recorded (for kmalloc caches with debugging enabled). We could adjust the code to call __kmem_cache_alloc_node() as the CONFIG_TRACING variant, but that would as a result inline a call with 5 parameters, bloating the kmalloc() call sites. The cost of extra function call (to kmalloc_trace()) seems like a lesser evil. It also appears that the !CONFIG_TRACING variant is incompatible with upcoming hardening efforts [1] so it's easier if we just remove it now. Kernels with no tracing are rare these days and the benefit is dubious anyway.

slab: Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup() In the effort to help the compiler reason about buffer sizes, the __alloc_size attribute was added to allocators. This improves the scope of the compiler's ability to apply CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS and (in the near future) CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. For most allocations, this works well, as the vast majority of callers are not expecting to use more memory than what they asked for. There is, however, one common exception to this: anticipatory resizing of kmalloc allocations. These cases all use ksize() to determine the actual bucket size of a given allocation (e.g. 128 when 126 was asked for). This comes in two styles in the kernel: 1) An allocation has been determined to be too small, and needs to be resized. Instead of the caller choosing its own next best size, it wants to minimize the number of calls to krealloc(), so it just uses ksize() plus some additional bytes, forcing the realloc into the next bucket size, from which it can learn how large it is now. For example: data = krealloc(data, ksize(data) + 1, gfp); data_len = ksize(data); 2) The minimum size of an allocation is calculated, but since it may grow in the future, just use all the space available in the chosen bucket immediately, to avoid needing to reallocate later. A good example of this is skbuff's allocators: data = kmalloc_reserve(size, gfp_mask, node, &pfmemalloc); ... /* kmalloc(size) might give us more room than requested. * Put skb_shared_info exactly at the end of allocated zone, * to allow max possible filling before reallocation. */ osize = ksize(data); size = SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(osize); In both cases, the "how much was actually allocated?" question is answered _after_ the allocation, where the compiler hinting is not in an easy place to make the association any more. This mismatch between the compiler's view of the buffer length and the code's intention about how much it is going to actually use has already caused problems[1]. It is possible to fix this by reordering the use of the "actual size" information. We can serve the needs of users of ksize() and still have accurate buffer length hinting for the compiler by doing the bucket size calculation _before_ the allocation. Code can instead ask "how large an allocation would I get for a given size?". Introduce kmalloc_size_roundup(), to serve this function so we can start replacing the "anticipatory resizing" uses of ksize().

slab: Remove __malloc attribute from realloc functions The __malloc attribute should not be applied to "realloc" functions, as the returned pointer may alias the storage of the prior pointer. Instead of splitting __malloc from __alloc_size, which would be a huge amount of churn, just create __realloc_size for the few cases where it is needed. Thanks to Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org> for reporting build failures with gcc-8 in earlier version which tried to remove the #ifdef.

mm/slub: enable debugging memory wasting of kmalloc kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one nature that it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). Say when user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes could be allocated, so in worst case, there is around 50% memory space waste. The wastage is not a big issue for requests that get allocated/freed quickly, but may cause problems with objects that have longer life time. We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab info: [ 26.062145] kmalloc-2k 814056KB 814056KB From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine', whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste 1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger) size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it). And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1] back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste situation, as the log is similar: [ 4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16 [ 4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 ... [ 4.857565] kmalloc-2048 59164KB 59164KB The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here. (Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent kernel [2], these logs are just picked to demo the problem, also a patch changing its size to 1024 bytes has been merged) So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and leverage the existing SLUB debug framework (specifically SLUB_STORE_USER) to show its call stack of original allocation, so that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot spots and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory. The waste info is integrated into existing interface: '/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces', one example of 'kmalloc-4k' after boot is: 126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=280763/281414/282065 pid=1330 cpus=32 nodes=1 __kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x11f/0x4e0 __kmalloc_node+0x4e/0x140 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x2ae/0xc90 [ixgbe] ixgbe_probe+0x165f/0x1d20 [ixgbe] local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0 work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40 ... which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of 2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each and 233856 bytes in total), from ixgbe_alloc_q_vector(). And when system starts some real workload like multiple docker instances, there could are more severe waste.

mm/slab_common: Deleting kobject in kmem_cache_destroy() without holding slab_mutex/cpu_hotplug_lock A circular locking problem is reported by lockdep due to the following circular locking dependency. +--> cpu_hotplug_lock --> slab_mutex --> kn->active --+ | | +-----------------------------------------------------+ The forward cpu_hotplug_lock ==> slab_mutex ==> kn->active dependency happens in kmem_cache_destroy(): cpus_read_lock(); mutex_lock(&slab_mutex); ==> sysfs_slab_unlink() ==> kobject_del() ==> kernfs_remove() ==> __kernfs_remove() ==> kernfs_drain(): rwsem_acquire(&kn->dep_map, ...); The backward kn->active ==> cpu_hotplug_lock dependency happens in kernfs_fop_write_iter(): kernfs_get_active(); ==> slab_attr_store() ==> cpu_partial_store() ==> flush_all(): cpus_read_lock() One way to break this circular locking chain is to avoid holding cpu_hotplug_lock and slab_mutex while deleting the kobject in sysfs_slab_unlink() which should be equivalent to doing a write_lock and write_unlock pair of the kn->active virtual lock. Since the kobject structures are not protected by slab_mutex or the cpu_hotplug_lock, we can certainly release those locks before doing the delete operation. Move sysfs_slab_unlink() and sysfs_slab_release() to the newly created kmem_cache_release() and call it outside the slab_mutex & cpu_hotplug_lock critical sections. There will be a slight delay in the deletion of sysfs files if kmem_cache_release() is called indirectly from a work function.

mm/slab_common: move dma-kmalloc caches creation into new_kmalloc_cache() There are four types of kmalloc_caches: KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_CGROUP, KMALLOC_RECLAIM, and KMALLOC_DMA. While the first three types are created using new_kmalloc_cache(), KMALLOC_DMA caches are created in a separate logic. Let KMALLOC_DMA caches be also created using new_kmalloc_cache(), to enhance readability. Historically, there were only KMALLOC_NORMAL caches and KMALLOC_DMA caches in the first place, and they were initialized in two separate logics. However, when KMALLOC_RECLAIM was introduced in v4.20 via commit 1291523f2c1d ("mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable caches") and KMALLOC_CGROUP was introduced in v5.14 via commit 494c1dfe855e ("mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> caches"), their creations were merged with KMALLOC_NORMAL's only. KMALLOC_DMA creation logic should be merged with them, too. By merging KMALLOC_DMA initialization with other types, the following two changes might occur: 1. The order dma-kmalloc-<n> caches added in slab_cache list may be sorted by size. i.e. the order they appear in /proc/slabinfo may change as well. 2. slab_state will be set to UP after KMALLOC_DMA is created. In case of slub, freelist randomization is dependent on slab_state>=UP, and therefore KMALLOC_DMA cache's freelist will not be randomized in creation, but will be deferred to init_freelist_randomization().

Replace field addrs in struct track with depot_stack_handle_t handle. Use stackdepot to save stack trace. The benefits are smaller memory overhead and possibility to aggregate per-cache statistics in the following patch using the stackdepot handle instead of matching stacks manually. [ vbabka@suse.cz: rebase to 5.17-rc1 and adjust accordingly ] This was initially merged as commit 788691464c29 and reverted by commit ae14c63a9f20 due to several issues, that should now be fixed. The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been addressed by commit 2dba5eb1c73b ("lib/stackdepot: allow optional init and stack_table allocation by kvmalloc()"), so the dependency on stackdepot will result in extra memory usage only when a slab cache tracking is actually enabled, and not for all CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG builds. The build failures on some architectures were also addressed, and the reported issue with xfs/433 test did not reproduce on 5.17-rc1 with this patch.

Fix this by implementing __kfence_obj_info() that copies relevant information to struct kmem_obj_info when the object was allocated by KFENCE; this is called by a common kmem_obj_info(), which also calls the slab/slub/slob specific variant now called __kmem_obj_info().

kasan: add ability to detect double-kmem_cache_destroy() Because mm/slab_common.c is not instrumented with software KASAN modes, it is not possible to detect use-after-free of the kmem_cache passed into kmem_cache_destroy(). In particular, because of the s->refcount-- and subsequent early return if non-zero, KASAN would never be able to see the double-free via kmem_cache_free(kmem_cache, s). To be able to detect a double-kmem_cache_destroy(), check accessibility of the kmem_cache, and in case of failure return early. While KASAN_HW_TAGS is able to detect such bugs, by checking accessibility and returning early we fail more gracefully and also avoid corrupting reused objects (where tags mismatch). A recent case of a double-kmem_cache_destroy() was detected by KFENCE: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/0000000000003f654905c168b09d@google.com, which was not detectable by software KASAN modes.

mm/slab_common: use WARN() if cache still has objects on destroy Calling kmem_cache_destroy() while the cache still has objects allocated is a kernel bug, and will usually result in the entire cache being leaked. While the message in kmem_cache_destroy() resembles a warning, it is currently not implemented using a real WARN(). This is problematic for infrastructure testing the kernel, all of which rely on the specific format of WARN()s to pick up on bugs. Some 13 years ago this used to be a simple WARN_ON() in slub, but commit d629d8195793 ("slub: improve kmem_cache_destroy() error message") changed it into an open-coded warning to avoid confusion with a bug in slub itself. Instead, turn the open-coded warning into a real WARN() with the message preserved, so that test systems can actually identify these issues, and we get all the other benefits of using a normal WARN(). The warning message is extended with "when called from <caller-ip>" to make it even clearer where the fault lies. For most configurations this is only a cosmetic change, however, note that WARN() here will now also respect panic_on_warn.

mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT. The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue. Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs, flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.

mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> caches There are currently two problems in the way the objcg pointer array (memcg_data) in the page structure is being allocated and freed. On its allocation, it is possible that the allocated objcg pointer array comes from the same slab that requires memory accounting. If this happens, the slab will never become empty again as there is at least one object left (the obj_cgroup array) in the slab. When it is freed, the objcg pointer array object may be the last one in its slab and hence causes kfree() to be called again. With the right workload, the slab cache may be set up in a way that allows the recursive kfree() calling loop to nest deep enough to cause a kernel stack overflow and panic the system. One way to solve this problem is to split the kmalloc-<n> caches (KMALLOC_NORMAL) into two separate sets - a new set of kmalloc-<n> (KMALLOC_NORMAL) caches for unaccounted objects only and a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n> (KMALLOC_CGROUP) caches for accounted objects only. All the other caches can still allow a mix of accounted and unaccounted objects. With this change, all the objcg pointer array objects will come from KMALLOC_NORMAL caches which won't have their objcg pointer arrays. So both the recursive kfree() problem and non-freeable slab problem are gone. Since both the KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_CGROUP caches no longer have mixed accounted and unaccounted objects, this will slightly reduce the number of objcg pointer arrays that need to be allocated and save a bit of memory. On the other hand, creating a new set of kmalloc caches does have the effect of reducing cache utilization. So it is properly a wash. The new KMALLOC_CGROUP is added between KMALLOC_NORMAL and KMALLOC_RECLAIM so that the first for loop in create_kmalloc_caches() will include the newly added caches without change.

That means kmem_cache_create_usercopy() in mm/slab_common.c which is not ideal for SLUB-specific code, but the #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG makes it at least self-contained and obvious.

This commit therefore makes mem_dump_obj() be a static inline empty function on kernels built with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and excludes all of its support functions as well.

kasan, mm: optimize krealloc poisoning Currently, krealloc() always calls ksize(), which unpoisons the whole object including the redzone. This is inefficient, as kasan_krealloc() repoisons the redzone for objects that fit into the same buffer. This patch changes krealloc() instrumentation to use uninstrumented __ksize() that doesn't unpoison the memory. Instead, kasan_kreallos() is changed to unpoison the memory excluding the redzone. For objects that don't fit into the old allocation, this patch disables KASAN accessibility checks when copying memory into a new object instead of unpoisoning it.

kasan, mm: fail krealloc on freed objects Currently, if krealloc() is called on a freed object with KASAN enabled, it allocates and returns a new object, but doesn't copy any memory from the old one as ksize() returns 0. This makes the caller believe that krealloc() succeeded (KASAN report is printed though). This patch adds an accessibility check into __do_krealloc(). If the check fails, krealloc() returns NULL. This check duplicates the one in ksize(); this is fixed in the following patch. This patch also adds a KASAN-KUnit test to check krealloc() behaviour when it's called on a freed object.

kasan, mm: don't save alloc stacks twice Patch series "kasan: optimizations and fixes for HW_TAGS", v4. This patchset makes the HW_TAGS mode more efficient, mostly by reworking poisoning approaches and simplifying/inlining some internal helpers. With this change, the overhead of HW_TAGS annotations excluding setting and checking memory tags is ~3%. The performance impact caused by tags will be unknown until we have hardware that supports MTE. As a side-effect, this patchset speeds up generic KASAN by ~15%. This patch (of 13): Currently KASAN saves allocation stacks in both kasan_slab_alloc() and kasan_kmalloc() annotations. This patch changes KASAN to save allocation stacks for slab objects from kmalloc caches in kasan_kmalloc() only, and stacks for other slab objects in kasan_slab_alloc() only. This change requires ____kasan_kmalloc() knowing whether the object belongs to a kmalloc cache. This is implemented by adding a flag field to the kasan_info structure. That flag is only set for kmalloc caches via a new kasan_cache_create_kmalloc() annotation.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLAB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLAB allocator. To pass the originally requested size to KFENCE, add an argument 'orig_size' to slab_alloc*(). The additional argument is required to preserve the requested original size for kmalloc() allocations, which uses size classes (e.g. an allocation of 272 bytes will return an object of size 512). Therefore, kmem_cache::size does not represent the kmalloc-caller's requested size, and we must introduce the argument 'orig_size' to propagate the originally requested size to KFENCE. Without the originally requested size, we would not be able to detect out-of-bounds accesses for objects placed at the end of a KFENCE object page if that object is not equal to the kmalloc-size class it was bucketed into. When KFENCE is disabled, there is no additional overhead, since slab_alloc*() functions are __always_inline.

kasan: fix bug detection via ksize for HW_TAGS mode The currently existing kasan_check_read/write() annotations are intended to be used for kernel modules that have KASAN compiler instrumentation disabled. Thus, they are only relevant for the software KASAN modes that rely on compiler instrumentation. However there's another use case for these annotations: ksize() checks that the object passed to it is indeed accessible before unpoisoning the whole object. This is currently done via __kasan_check_read(), which is compiled away for the hardware tag-based mode that doesn't rely on compiler instrumentation. This leads to KASAN missing detecting some memory corruptions. Provide another annotation called kasan_check_byte() that is available for all KASAN modes. As the implementation rename and reuse kasan_check_invalid_free(). Use this new annotation in ksize(). To avoid having ksize() as the top frame in the reported stack trace pass _RET_IP_ to __kasan_check_byte(). Also add a new ksize_uaf() test that checks that a use-after-free is detected via ksize() itself, and via plain accesses that happen later.

mm, slab, slub: stop taking cpu hotplug lock SLAB has been using get/put_online_cpus() around creating, destroying and shrinking kmem caches since 95402b382901 ("cpu-hotplug: replace per-subsystem mutexes with get_online_cpus()") in 2008, which is supposed to be replacing a private mutex (cache_chain_mutex, called slab_mutex today) with system-wide mechanism, but in case of SLAB it's in fact used in addition to the existing mutex, without explanation why. SLUB appears to have avoided the cpu hotplug lock initially, but gained it due to common code unification, such as 20cea9683ecc ("mm, sl[aou]b: Move kmem_cache_create mutex handling to common code"). Regardless of the history, checking if the hotplug lock is actually needed today suggests that it's not, and therefore it's better to avoid this system-wide lock and the ordering this imposes wrt other locks (such as slab_mutex). Specifically, in SLAB we have for_each_online_cpu() in do_tune_cpucache() protected by slab_mutex, and cpu hotplug callbacks that also take the slab_mutex, which is also taken by the common slab function that currently also take the hotplug lock. Thus the slab_mutex protection should be sufficient. Also per-cpu array caches are allocated for each possible cpu, so not affected by their online/offline state. In SLUB we have for_each_online_cpu() in functions that show statistics and are already unprotected today, as racing with hotplug is not harmful. Otherwise SLUB relies on percpu allocator. The slub_cpu_dead() hotplug callback takes the slab_mutex. To sum up, this patch removes get/put_online_cpus() calls from slab as it should be safe without further adjustments.

mm, slab, slub: stop taking memory hotplug lock Since commit 03afc0e25f7f ("slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}") we are taking memory hotplug lock for SLAB and SLUB when creating, destroying or shrinking a cache. It is quite a heavy lock and it's best to avoid it if possible, as we had several issues with lockdep complaining about ordering in the past, see e.g. e4f8e513c3d3 ("mm/slub: fix a deadlock in show_slab_objects()"). The problem scenario in 03afc0e25f7f (solved by the memory hotplug lock) can be summarized as follows: while there's slab_mutex synchronizing new kmem cache creation and SLUB's MEM_GOING_ONLINE callback slab_mem_going_online_callback(), we may miss creation of kmem_cache_node for the hotplugged node in the new kmem cache, because the hotplug callback doesn't yet see the new cache, and cache creation in init_kmem_cache_nodes() only inits kmem_cache_node for nodes in the N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodemask, which however may not yet include the new node, as that happens only later after the MEM_GOING_ONLINE callback. Instead of using get/put_online_mems(), the problem can be solved by SLUB maintaining its own nodemask of nodes for which it has allocated the per-node kmem_cache_node structures. This nodemask would generally mirror the N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodemask, but would be updated only in under SLUB's control in its memory hotplug callbacks under the slab_mutex. This patch adds such nodemask and its handling. Commit 03afc0e25f7f mentiones "issues like [the one above]", but there don't appear to be further issues. All the paths (shared for SLAB and SLUB) taking the memory hotplug locks are also taking the slab_mutex, except kmem_cache_shrink() where 03afc0e25f7f replaced slab_mutex with get/put_online_mems(). We however cannot simply restore slab_mutex in kmem_cache_shrink(), as SLUB can enters the function from a write to sysfs 'shrink' file, thus holding kernfs lock, and in kmem_cache_create() the kernfs lock is nested within slab_mutex. But on closer inspection we don't actually need to protect kmem_cache_shrink() from hotplug callbacks: While SLUB's __kmem_cache_shrink() does for_each_kmem_cache_node(), missing a new node added in parallel hotplug is not fatal, and parallel hotremove does not free kmem_cache_node's anymore after the previous patch, so use-after free cannot happen. The per-node shrinking itself is protected by n->list_lock. Same is true for SLAB, and SLOB is no-op. SLAB also doesn't need the memory hotplug locking, which it only gained by 03afc0e25f7f through the shared paths in slab_common.c. Its memory hotplug callbacks are also protected by slab_mutex against races with these paths. The problem of SLUB relying on N_NORMAL_MEMORY doesn't apply to SLAB, as its setup_kmem_cache_nodes relies on N_ONLINE, and the new node is already set there during the MEM_GOING_ONLINE callback, so no special care is needed for SLAB. As such, this patch removes all get/put_online_mems() usage by the slab subsystem.

mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print source of memory block There are kernel facilities such as per-CPU reference counts that give error messages in generic handlers or callbacks, whose messages are unenlightening. In the case of per-CPU reference-count underflow, this is not a problem when creating a new use of this facility because in that case the bug is almost certainly in the code implementing that new use. However, trouble arises when deploying across many systems, which might exercise corner cases that were not seen during development and testing. Here, it would be really nice to get some kind of hint as to which of several uses the underflow was caused by. This commit therefore exposes a mem_dump_obj() function that takes a pointer to memory (which must still be allocated if it has been dynamically allocated) and prints available information on where that memory came from. This pointer can reference the middle of the block as well as the beginning of the block, as needed by things like RCU callback functions and timer handlers that might not know where the beginning of the memory block is. These functions and handlers can use mem_dump_obj() to print out better hints as to where the problem might lie. The information printed can depend on kernel configuration. For example, the allocation return address can be printed only for slab and slub, and even then only when the necessary debug has been enabled. For slab, build with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y, and either use sizes with ample space to the next power of two or use the SLAB_STORE_USER when creating the kmem_cache structure. For slub, build with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and boot with slub_debug=U, or pass SLAB_STORE_USER to kmem_cache_create() if more focused use is desired. Also for slub, use CONFIG_STACKTRACE to enable printing of the allocation-time stack trace.

kasan, mm: allow cache merging with no metadata The reason cache merging is disabled with KASAN is because KASAN puts its metadata right after the allocated object. When the merged caches have slightly different sizes, the metadata ends up in different places, which KASAN doesn't support. It might be possible to adjust the metadata allocation algorithm and make it friendly to the cache merging code. Instead this change takes a simpler approach and allows merging caches when no metadata is present. Which is the case for hardware tag-based KASAN with kasan.mode=prod.

mm: slab: clarify krealloc()'s behavior with __GFP_ZERO Patch series "slab: provide and use krealloc_array()", v3. Andy brought to my attention the fact that users allocating an array of equally sized elements should check if the size multiplication doesn't overflow. This is why we have helpers like kmalloc_array(). However we don't have krealloc_array() equivalent and there are many users who do their own multiplication when calling krealloc() for arrays. This series provides krealloc_array() and uses it in a couple places. A separate series will follow adding devm_krealloc_array() which is needed in the xilinx adc driver. This patch (of 9): __GFP_ZERO is ignored by krealloc() (unless we fall-back to kmalloc() path, in which case it's honored). Point that out in the kerneldoc.

mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all allocations Instead of having two sets of kmem_caches: one for system-wide and non-accounted allocations and the second one shared by all accounted allocations, we can use just one. The idea is simple: space for obj_cgroup metadata can be allocated on demand and filled only for accounted allocations. It allows to remove a bunch of code which is required to handle kmem_cache clones for accounted allocations. There is no more need to create them, accumulate statistics, propagate attributes, etc. It's a quite significant simplification. Also, because the total number of slab_caches is reduced almost twice (not all kmem_caches have a memcg clone), some additional memory savings are expected. On my devvm it additionally saves about 3.5% of slab memory.

mm: memcg/slab: deprecate slab_root_caches Currently there are two lists of kmem_caches: 1) slab_caches, which contains all kmem_caches, 2) slab_root_caches, which contains only root kmem_caches. And there is some preprocessor magic to have a single list if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM isn't enabled. It was required earlier because the number of non-root kmem_caches was proportional to the number of memory cgroups and could reach really big values. Now, when it cannot exceed the number of root kmem_caches, there is really no reason to maintain two lists. We never iterate over the slab_root_caches list on any hot paths, so it's perfectly fine to iterate over slab_caches and filter out non-root kmem_caches. It allows to remove a lot of config-dependent code and two pointers from the kmem_cache structure.

mm: memcg/slab: simplify memcg cache creation Because the number of non-root kmem_caches doesn't depend on the number of memory cgroups anymore and is generally not very big, there is no more need for a dedicated workqueue. Also, as there is no more need to pass any arguments to the memcg_create_kmem_cache() except the root kmem_cache, it's possible to just embed the work structure into the kmem_cache and avoid the dynamic allocation of the work structure. This will also simplify the synchronization: for each root kmem_cache there is only one work. So there will be no more concurrent attempts to create a non-root kmem_cache for a root kmem_cache: the second and all following attempts to queue the work will fail. On the kmem_cache destruction path there is no more need to call the expensive flush_workqueue() and wait for all pending works to be finished. Instead, cancel_work_sync() can be used to cancel/wait for only one work.

mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted allocations This is fairly big but mostly red patch, which makes all accounted slab allocations use a single set of kmem_caches instead of creating a separate set for each memory cgroup. Because the number of non-root kmem_caches is now capped by the number of root kmem_caches, there is no need to shrink or destroy them prematurely. They can be perfectly destroyed together with their root counterparts. This allows to dramatically simplify the management of non-root kmem_caches and delete a ton of code. This patch performs the following changes: 1) introduces memcg_params.memcg_cache pointer to represent the kmem_cache which will be used for all non-root allocations 2) reuses the existing memcg kmem_cache creation mechanism to create memcg kmem_cache on the first allocation attempt 3) memcg kmem_caches are named <kmemcache_name>-memcg, e.g. dentry-memcg 4) simplifies memcg_kmem_get_cache() to just return memcg kmem_cache or schedule it's creation and return the root cache 5) removes almost all non-root kmem_cache management code (separate refcounter, reparenting, shrinking, etc) 6) makes slab debugfs to display root_mem_cgroup css id and never show :dead and :deact flags in the memcg_slabinfo attribute. Following patches in the series will simplify the kmem_cache creation.

In other words, it doesn't provide any value for the absolute majority of users. A drgn-based replacement can be found in tools/cgroup/memcg_slabinfo.py. It does support cgroup v1 and v2, mimics memory.kmem.slabinfo output and also allows to get any additional information without a need to recompile the kernel. If a drgn-based solution is too slow for a task, a bpf-based tracing tool can be used, which can easily keep track of all slab allocations belonging to a memory cgroup.

mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytes In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes. To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB). Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account. Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional overhead. The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.

mm, treewide: rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() As said by Linus: A symmetric naming is only helpful if it implies symmetries in use. Otherwise it's actively misleading. In "kzalloc()", the z is meaningful and an important part of what the caller wants. In "kzfree()", the z is actively detrimental, because maybe in the future we really _might_ want to use that "memfill(0xdeadbeef)" or something. The "zero" part of the interface isn't even _relevant_. The main reason that kzfree() exists is to clear sensitive information that should not be leaked to other future users of the same memory objects. Rename kzfree() to kfree_sensitive() to follow the example of the recently added kvfree_sensitive() and make the intention of the API more explicit. In addition, memzero_explicit() is used to clear the memory to make sure that it won't get optimized away by the compiler. The renaming is done by using the command sequence: git grep -w --name-only kzfree |\ xargs sed -i 's/kzfree/kfree_sensitive/' followed by some editing of the kfree_sensitive() kerneldoc and adding a kzfree backward compatibility macro in slab.h.

mm: memcg/slab: fix memory leak at non-root kmem_cache destroy If the kmem_cache refcount is greater than one, we should not mark the root kmem_cache as dying. If we mark the root kmem_cache dying incorrectly, the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed. It resulted in memory leak when memcg was destroyed. We can use the following steps to reproduce. 1) Use kmem_cache_create() to create a new kmem_cache named A. 2) Coincidentally, the kmem_cache A is an alias for kmem_cache B, so the refcount of B is just increased. 3) Use kmem_cache_destroy() to destroy the kmem_cache A, just decrease the B's refcount but mark the B as dying. 4) Create a new memory cgroup and alloc memory from the kmem_cache B. It leads to create a non-root kmem_cache for allocating memory. 5) When destroy the memory cgroup created in the step 4), the non-root kmem_cache can never be destroyed. If we repeat steps 4) and 5), this will cause a lot of memory leak. So only when refcount reach zero, we mark the root kmem_cache as dying.

mm/slab: use memzero_explicit() in kzfree() The kzfree() function is normally used to clear some sensitive information, like encryption keys, in the buffer before freeing it back to the pool. Memset() is currently used for buffer clearing. However unlikely, there is still a non-zero probability that the compiler may choose to optimize away the memory clearing especially if LTO is being used in the future. To make sure that this optimization will never happen, memzero_explicit(), which is introduced in v3.18, is now used in kzfree() to future-proof it.

usercopy: mark dma-kmalloc caches as usercopy caches We have seen a "usercopy: Kernel memory overwrite attempt detected to SLUB object 'dma-kmalloc-1 k' (offset 0, size 11)!" error on s390x, as IUCV uses kmalloc() with __GFP_DMA because of memory address restrictions. The issue has been discussed [2] and it has been noted that if all the kmalloc caches are marked as usercopy, there's little reason not to mark dma-kmalloc caches too. The 'dma' part merely means that __GFP_DMA is used to restrict memory address range. As Jann Horn put it [3]: "I think dma-kmalloc slabs should be handled the same way as normal kmalloc slabs. When a dma-kmalloc allocation is freshly created, it is just normal kernel memory - even if it might later be used for DMA -, and it should be perfectly fine to copy_from_user() into such allocations at that point, and to copy_to_user() out of them at the end. If you look at the places where such allocations are created, you can see things like kmemdup(), memcpy() and so on - all normal operations that shouldn't conceptually be different from usercopy in any relevant way." Thus this patch marks the dma-kmalloc-* caches as usercopy.

proc: faster open/read/close with "permanent" files Now that "struct proc_ops" exist we can start putting there stuff which could not fly with VFS "struct file_operations"... Most of fs/proc/inode.c file is dedicated to make open/read/.../close reliable in the event of disappearing /proc entries which usually happens if module is getting removed. Files like /proc/cpuinfo which never disappear simply do not need such protection. Save 2 atomic ops, 1 allocation, 1 free per open/read/close sequence for such "permanent" files. Enable "permanent" flag for /proc/cpuinfo /proc/kmsg /proc/modules /proc/slabinfo /proc/stat /proc/sysvipc/* /proc/swaps More will come once I figure out foolproof way to prevent out module authors from marking their stuff "permanent" for performance reasons when it is not.

Here is the call path: free_iommu_resources kmem_cache_destroy flush_memcg_workqueue flush_workqueue The root cause is that the IOMMU subsystem runs before the workqueue subsystem, which the variable 'wq_online' is still 'false'. This leads to the statement 'if (WARN_ON(!wq_online))' in flush_workqueue() is 'true'.

It waits for an rcu grace period, after which all children kmem_caches should be deactivated. During the deactivation percpu_ref_kill() is called for non root kmem_cache refcounters, but it requires yet another rcu grace period to finish the transition to the atomic (dead) state. So in a rare case when not all children kmem_caches are destroyed at the moment when the root kmem_cache is about to be gone, we need to wait another rcu grace period before destroying the root kmem_cache. This issue can be triggered only with dynamically created kmem_caches which are used with memcg accounting. In this case per-memcg child kmem_caches are created. They are deactivated from the cgroup removing path. If the destruction of the root kmem_cache is racing with the removal of the cgroup (both are quite complicated multi-stage processes), the described issue can occur. The only known way to trigger it in the real life, is to unload some kernel module which creates a dedicated kmem_cache, used from different memory cgroups with GFP_ACCOUNT flag. If the unloading happens immediately after calling rmdir on the corresponding cgroup, there is some chance to trigger the issue.

There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA. The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name, but the names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically generated by kmalloc_cache_name(). Patch1 predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save the time spent dynamically generating names. These changes make sense, and the time spent by new_kmalloc_cache() has been reduced by approximately 36.3%. Time spent by new_kmalloc_cache() (CPU cycles) 5.3-rc7 66264 5.3-rc7+patch 42188 This patch (of 3): There are three types of kmalloc, KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA. The name of KMALLOC_NORMAL is contained in kmalloc_info[].name, but the names of KMALLOC_RECLAIM and KMALLOC_DMA are dynamically generated by kmalloc_cache_name(). This patch predefines the names of all types of kmalloc to save the time spent dynamically generating names. Besides, remove the kmalloc_cache_name() that is no longer used.

When shutdown_cache() is called from the kmem_cache_destroy() context, a memcg kmem_cache might have empty slab pages in a partial list, which are still charged to the memory cgroup. These pages are released by free_partial() at the beginning of shutdown_cache(): either directly or by scheduling a RCU-delayed work (if the kmem_cache has the SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag). The latter case is when the reported panic can happen: memcg_unlink_cache() is called immediately after shrinking partial lists, without waiting for scheduled RCU works. It sets the kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer to NULL, and the following attempt to dereference it by __free_slab() from the RCU work context causes the panic. To fix the issue, let's postpone the release of the memcg pointer to destroy_memcg_params(). It's called from a separate work context by slab_caches_to_rcu_destroy_workfn(), which contains a full RCU barrier. This guarantees that all scheduled page release RCU works will complete before the memcg pointer will be zeroed. Big thanks for Karsten for the perfect report containing all necessary information, his help with the analysis of the problem and testing of the fix.

mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two) In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned (i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes. That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently evidenced in [2]. The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a 'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size). Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc() alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all configurations. What this means for the three available allocators? * SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment, which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all arches and cache sizes. * SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache. With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be acceptable in a debugging scenario. * SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing, after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with difference in the noise.

mm, sl[ou]b: improve memory accounting Patch series "guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc()", v2. This patch (of 2): SLOB currently doesn't account its pages at all, so in /proc/meminfo the Slab field shows zero. Modifying a counter on page allocation and freeing should be acceptable even for the small system scenarios SLOB is intended for. Since reclaimable caches are not separated in SLOB, account everything as unreclaimable. SLUB currently doesn't account kmalloc() and kmalloc_node() allocations larger than order-1 page, that are passed directly to the page allocator. As they also don't appear in /proc/slabinfo, it might look like a memory leak. For consistency, account them as well. (SLAB doesn't actually use page allocator directly, so no change there). Ideally SLOB and SLUB would be handled in separate patches, but due to the shared kmalloc_order() function and different kfree() implementations, it's easier to patch both at once to prevent inconsistencies.

mm, slab: extend slab/shrink to shrink all memcg caches Currently, a value of '1" is written to /sys/kernel/slab/<slab>/shrink file to shrink the slab by flushing out all the per-cpu slabs and free slabs in partial lists. This can be useful to squeeze out a bit more memory under extreme condition as well as making the active object counts in /proc/slabinfo more accurate. This usually applies only to the root caches, as the SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON option is usually not enabled and "slub_memcg_sysfs=1" not set. Even if memcg sysfs is turned on, it is too cumbersome and impractical to manage all those per-memcg sysfs files in a real production system. So there is no practical way to shrink memcg caches. Fix this by enabling a proper write to the shrink sysfs file of the root cache to scan all the available memcg caches and shrink them as well. For a non-root memcg cache (when SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON or slub_memcg_sysfs is on), only that cache will be shrunk when written. On a 2-socket 64-core 256-thread arm64 system with 64k page after a parallel kernel build, the the amount of memory occupied by slabs before shrinking slabs were: # grep task_struct /proc/slabinfo task_struct 53137 53192 4288 61 4 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 872 872 0 # grep "^S[lRU]" /proc/meminfo Slab: 3936832 kB SReclaimable: 399104 kB SUnreclaim: 3537728 kB After shrinking slabs (by echoing "1" to all shrink files): # grep "^S[lRU]" /proc/meminfo Slab: 1356288 kB SReclaimable: 263296 kB SUnreclaim: 1092992 kB # grep task_struct /proc/slabinfo task_struct 2764 6832 4288 61 4 : tunables 0 0 0 : slabdata 112 112 0 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190723151445.7385-1-longman@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Acked-by: Roman Gushchin <guro@fb.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, memcg: add a memcg_slabinfo debugfs file There are concerns about memory leaks from extensive use of memory cgroups as each memory cgroup creates its own set of kmem caches. There is a possiblity that the memcg kmem caches may remain even after the memory cgroups have been offlined. Therefore, it will be useful to show the status of each of memcg kmem caches. This patch introduces a new <debugfs>/memcg_slabinfo file which is somewhat similar to /proc/slabinfo in format, but lists only information about kmem caches that have child memcg kmem caches. Information available in /proc/slabinfo are not repeated in memcg_slabinfo. A portion of a sample output of the file was: # <name> <css_id[:dead]> <active_objs> <num_objs> <active_slabs> <num_slabs> rpc_inode_cache root 13 51 1 1 rpc_inode_cache 48 0 0 0 0 fat_inode_cache root 1 45 1 1 fat_inode_cache 41 2 45 1 1 xfs_inode root 770 816 24 24 xfs_inode 92 22 34 1 1 xfs_inode 88:dead 1 34 1 1 xfs_inode 89:dead 23 34 1 1 xfs_inode 85 4 34 1 1 xfs_inode 84 9 34 1 1 The css id of the memcg is also listed.

mm: memcg/slab: reparent memcg kmem_caches on cgroup removal Let's reparent non-root kmem_caches on memcg offlining. This allows us to release the memory cgroup without waiting for the last outstanding kernel object (e.g. dentry used by another application). Since the parent cgroup is already charged, everything we need to do is to splice the list of kmem_caches to the parent's kmem_caches list, swap the memcg pointer, drop the css refcounter for each kmem_cache and adjust the parent's css refcounter. Please, note that kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg isn't a stable pointer anymore. It's safe to read it under rcu_read_lock(), cgroup_mutex held, or any other way that protects the memory cgroup from being released. We can race with the slab allocation and deallocation paths. It's not a big problem: parent's charge and slab global stats are always correct, and we don't care anymore about the child usage and global stats. The child cgroup is already offline, so we don't use or show it anywhere. Local slab stats (NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE) aren't used anywhere except count_shadow_nodes(). But even there it won't break anything: after reparenting "nodes" will be 0 on child level (because we're already reparenting shrinker lists), and on parent level page stats always were 0, and this patch won't change anything.

mm: memcg/slab: rework non-root kmem_cache lifecycle management Currently each charged slab page holds a reference to the cgroup to which it's charged. Kmem_caches are held by the memcg and are released all together with the memory cgroup. It means that none of kmem_caches are released unless at least one reference to the memcg exists, which is very far from optimal. Let's rework it in a way that allows releasing individual kmem_caches as soon as the cgroup is offline, the kmem_cache is empty and there are no pending allocations. To make it possible, let's introduce a new percpu refcounter for non-root kmem caches. The counter is initialized to the percpu mode, and is switched to the atomic mode during kmem_cache deactivation. The counter is bumped for every charged page and also for every running allocation. So the kmem_cache can't be released unless all allocations complete. To shutdown non-active empty kmem_caches, let's reuse the work queue, previously used for the kmem_cache deactivation. Once the reference counter reaches 0, let's schedule an asynchronous kmem_cache release. * I used the following simple approach to test the performance (stolen from another patchset by T. Harding): time find / -name fname-no-exist echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches repeat 10 times Results: orig patched real 0m1.455s real 0m1.355s user 0m0.206s user 0m0.219s sys 0m0.855s sys 0m0.807s real 0m1.487s real 0m1.699s user 0m0.221s user 0m0.256s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.948s real 0m1.515s real 0m1.505s user 0m0.183s user 0m0.215s sys 0m0.876s sys 0m0.858s real 0m1.291s real 0m1.380s user 0m0.193s user 0m0.198s sys 0m0.843s sys 0m0.786s real 0m1.364s real 0m1.374s user 0m0.180s user 0m0.182s sys 0m0.868s sys 0m0.806s real 0m1.352s real 0m1.312s user 0m0.201s user 0m0.212s sys 0m0.820s sys 0m0.761s real 0m1.302s real 0m1.349s user 0m0.205s user 0m0.203s sys 0m0.803s sys 0m0.792s real 0m1.334s real 0m1.301s user 0m0.194s user 0m0.201s sys 0m0.806s sys 0m0.779s real 0m1.426s real 0m1.434s user 0m0.216s user 0m0.181s sys 0m0.824s sys 0m0.864s real 0m1.350s real 0m1.295s user 0m0.200s user 0m0.190s sys 0m0.842s sys 0m0.811s So it looks like the difference is not noticeable in this test.

mm: memcg/slab: synchronize access to kmem_cache dying flag using a spinlock Currently the memcg_params.dying flag and the corresponding workqueue used for the asynchronous deactivation of kmem_caches is synchronized using the slab_mutex. It makes impossible to check this flag from the irq context, which will be required in order to implement asynchronous release of kmem_caches. So let's switch over to the irq-save flavor of the spinlock-based synchronization.

mm: memcg/slab: don't check the dying flag on kmem_cache creation There is no point in checking the root_cache->memcg_params.dying flag on kmem_cache creation path. New allocations shouldn't be performed using a dead root kmem_cache, so no new memcg kmem_cache creation can be scheduled after the flag is set. And if it was scheduled before, flush_memcg_workqueue() will wait for it anyway. So let's drop this check to simplify the code.

mm: memcg/slab: generalize postponed non-root kmem_cache deactivation Currently SLUB uses a work scheduled after an RCU grace period to deactivate a non-root kmem_cache. This mechanism can be reused for kmem_caches release, but requires generalization for SLAB case. Introduce kmemcg_cache_deactivate() function, which calls allocator-specific __kmem_cache_deactivate() and schedules execution of __kmem_cache_deactivate_after_rcu() with all necessary locks in a worker context after an rcu grace period. Here is the new calling scheme: kmemcg_cache_deactivate() __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() SLAB/SLUB-specific kmemcg_rcufn() rcu kmemcg_workfn() work __kmemcg_cache_deactivate_after_rcu() SLAB/SLUB-specific instead of: __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() SLAB/SLUB-specific slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() SLUB-only kmemcg_rcufn() rcu kmemcg_workfn() work kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu() SLUB-only For consistency, all allocator-specific functions start with "__".

mm: memcg/slab: rename slab delayed deactivation functions and fields The delayed work/rcu deactivation infrastructure of non-root kmem_caches can be also used for asynchronous release of these objects. Let's get rid of the word "deactivation" in corresponding names to make the code look better after generalization. It's easier to make the renaming first, so that the generalized code will look consistent from scratch. Let's rename struct memcg_cache_params fields: deact_fn -> work_fn deact_rcu_head -> rcu_head deact_work -> work And RCU/delayed work callbacks in slab common code: kmemcg_deactivate_rcufn -> kmemcg_rcufn kmemcg_deactivate_workfn -> kmemcg_workfn This patch contains no functional changes, only renamings.

mm: memcg/slab: postpone kmem_cache memcg pointer initialization to memcg_link_cache() Patch series "mm: reparent slab memory on cgroup removal", v7. # Why do we need this? We've noticed that the number of dying cgroups is steadily growing on most of our hosts in production. The following investigation revealed an issue in the userspace memory reclaim code [1], accounting of kernel stacks [2], and also the main reason: slab objects. The underlying problem is quite simple: any page charged to a cgroup holds a reference to it, so the cgroup can't be reclaimed unless all charged pages are gone. If a slab object is actively used by other cgroups, it won't be reclaimed, and will prevent the origin cgroup from being reclaimed. Slab objects, and first of all vfs cache, is shared between cgroups, which are using the same underlying fs, and what's even more important, it's shared between multiple generations of the same workload. So if something is running periodically every time in a new cgroup (like how systemd works), we do accumulate multiple dying cgroups. Strictly speaking pagecache isn't different here, but there is a key difference: we disable protection and apply some extra pressure on LRUs of dying cgroups, and these LRUs contain all charged pages. My experiments show that with the disabled kernel memory accounting the number of dying cgroups stabilizes at a relatively small number (~100, depends on memory pressure and cgroup creation rate), and with kernel memory accounting it grows pretty steadily up to several thousands. Memory cgroups are quite complex and big objects (mostly due to percpu stats), so it leads to noticeable memory losses. Memory occupied by dying cgroups is measured in hundreds of megabytes. I've even seen a host with more than 100Gb of memory wasted for dying cgroups. It leads to a degradation of performance with the uptime, and generally limits the usage of cgroups. My previous attempt [3] to fix the problem by applying extra pressure on slab shrinker lists caused a regressions with xfs and ext4, and has been reverted [4]. The following attempts to find the right balance [5, 6] were not successful. So instead of trying to find a maybe non-existing balance, let's do reparent accounted slab caches to the parent cgroup on cgroup removal. # Implementation approach There is however a significant problem with reparenting of slab memory: there is no list of charged pages. Some of them are in shrinker lists, but not all. Introducing of a new list is really not an option. But fortunately there is a way forward: every slab page has a stable pointer to the corresponding kmem_cache. So the idea is to reparent kmem_caches instead of slab pages. It's actually simpler and cheaper, but requires some underlying changes: 1) Make kmem_caches to hold a single reference to the memory cgroup, instead of a separate reference per every slab page. 2) Stop setting page->mem_cgroup pointer for memcg slab pages and use page->kmem_cache->memcg indirection instead. It's used only on slab page release, so performance overhead shouldn't be a big issue. 3) Introduce a refcounter for non-root slab caches. It's required to be able to destroy kmem_caches when they become empty and release the associated memory cgroup. There is a bonus: currently we release all memcg kmem_caches all together with the memory cgroup itself. This patchset allows individual kmem_caches to be released as soon as they become inactive and free. Some additional implementation details are provided in corresponding commit messages. # Results Below is the average number of dying cgroups on two groups of our production hosts. They do run some sort of web frontend workload, the memory pressure is moderate. As we can see, with the kernel memory reparenting the number stabilizes in 60s range; however with the original version it grows almost linearly and doesn't show any signs of plateauing. The difference in slab and percpu usage between patched and unpatched versions also grows linearly. In 7 days it exceeded 200Mb. day 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 original 56 362 628 752 1070 1250 1490 1560 patched 23 46 51 55 60 57 67 69 mem diff(Mb) 22 74 123 152 164 182 214 241 # Links [1]: commit 68600f623d69 ("mm: don't miss the last page because of round-off error") [2]: commit 9b6f7e163cd0 ("mm: rework memcg kernel stack accounting") [3]: commit 172b06c32b94 ("mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") [4]: commit a9a238e83fbb ("Revert "mm: slowly shrink slabs with a relatively small number of objects") [5]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/28/1865 [6]: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=155064763626437&w=2 This patch (of 10): Initialize kmem_cache->memcg_params.memcg pointer in memcg_link_cache() rather than in init_memcg_params().

mm/kasan: add object validation in ksize() ksize() has been unconditionally unpoisoning the whole shadow memory region associated with an allocation. This can lead to various undetected bugs, for example, double-kzfree(). Specifically, kzfree() uses ksize() to determine the actual allocation size, and subsequently zeroes the memory. Since ksize() used to just unpoison the whole shadow memory region, no invalid free was detected. This patch addresses this as follows: 1. Add a check in ksize(), and only then unpoison the memory region. 2. Preserve kasan_unpoison_slab() semantics by explicitly unpoisoning the shadow memory region using the size obtained from __ksize(). Tested: 1. With SLAB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the added double-kzfree() is detected. 2. With SLUB allocator: a) normal boot without warnings; b) verified the added double-kzfree() is detected.

mm: add support for kmem caches in DMA32 zone Patch series "iommu/io-pgtable-arm-v7s: Use DMA32 zone for page tables", v6. This is a followup to the discussion in [1], [2]. IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables (level 1 and 2) to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. For L1 tables that are bigger than a page, we can just use __get_free_pages with GFP_DMA32 (on arm64 systems only, arm would still use GFP_DMA). For L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This series, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. [3] This series is the most memory-efficient approach. stable@ note: We confirmed that this is a regression, and IOMMU errors happen on 4.19 and linux-next/master on MT8173 (elm, Acer Chromebook R13). The issue most likely starts from commit ad67f5a6545f ("arm64: replace ZONE_DMA with ZONE_DMA32"), i.e. 4.15, and presumably breaks a number of Mediatek platforms (and maybe others?). [1] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-November/030876.html [2] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/iommu/2018-December/031696.html [3] https://patchwork.codeaurora.org/patch/671639/ This patch (of 3): IOMMUs using ARMv7 short-descriptor format require page tables to be allocated within the first 4GB of RAM, even on 64-bit systems. On arm64, this is done by passing GFP_DMA32 flag to memory allocation functions. For IOMMU L2 tables that only take 1KB, it would be a waste to allocate a full page using get_free_pages, so we considered 3 approaches: 1. This patch, adding support for GFP_DMA32 slab caches. 2. genalloc, which requires pre-allocating the maximum number of L2 page tables (4096, so 4MB of memory). 3. page_frag, which is not very memory-efficient as it is unable to reuse freed fragments until the whole page is freed. This change makes it possible to create a custom cache in DMA32 zone using kmem_cache_create, then allocate memory using kmem_cache_alloc. We do not create a DMA32 kmalloc cache array, as there are currently no users of kmalloc(..., GFP_DMA32). These calls will continue to trigger a warning, as we keep GFP_DMA32 in GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK. This implies that calls to kmem_cache_*alloc on a SLAB_CACHE_DMA32 kmem_cache must _not_ use GFP_DMA32 (it is anyway redundant and unnecessary).

As a result, when an objects gets allocated, kmemleak sees a differently tagged pointer, compared to the one it sees when the object gets freed. Fix it by calling KASAN hooks before kmemleak's ones.

kasan, mm: perform untagged pointers comparison in krealloc The krealloc function checks where the same buffer was reused or a new one allocated by comparing kernel pointers. Tag-based KASAN changes memory tag on the krealloc'ed chunk of memory and therefore also changes the pointer tag of the returned pointer. Therefore we need to perform comparison on untagged (with tags reset) pointers to check whether it's the same memory region or not.

kasan, mm: change hooks signatures Patch series "kasan: add software tag-based mode for arm64", v13. This patchset adds a new software tag-based mode to KASAN [1]. (Initially this mode was called KHWASAN, but it got renamed, see the naming rationale at the end of this section). The plan is to implement HWASan [2] for the kernel with the incentive, that it's going to have comparable to KASAN performance, but in the same time consume much less memory, trading that off for somewhat imprecise bug detection and being supported only for arm64. The underlying ideas of the approach used by software tag-based KASAN are: 1. By using the Top Byte Ignore (TBI) arm64 CPU feature, we can store pointer tags in the top byte of each kernel pointer. 2. Using shadow memory, we can store memory tags for each chunk of kernel memory. 3. On each memory allocation, we can generate a random tag, embed it into the returned pointer and set the memory tags that correspond to this chunk of memory to the same value. 4. By using compiler instrumentation, before each memory access we can add a check that the pointer tag matches the tag of the memory that is being accessed. 5. On a tag mismatch we report an error. With this patchset the existing KASAN mode gets renamed to generic KASAN, with the word "generic" meaning that the implementation can be supported by any architecture as it is purely software. The new mode this patchset adds is called software tag-based KASAN. The word "tag-based" refers to the fact that this mode uses tags embedded into the top byte of kernel pointers and the TBI arm64 CPU feature that allows to dereference such pointers. The word "software" here means that shadow memory manipulation and tag checking on pointer dereference is done in software. As it is the only tag-based implementation right now, "software tag-based" KASAN is sometimes referred to as simply "tag-based" in this patchset. A potential expansion of this mode is a hardware tag-based mode, which would use hardware memory tagging support (announced by Arm [3]) instead of compiler instrumentation and manual shadow memory manipulation. Same as generic KASAN, software tag-based KASAN is strictly a debugging feature. [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/dev-tools/kasan.html [2] http://clang.llvm.org/docs/HardwareAssistedAddressSanitizerDesign.html [3] https://community.arm.com/processors/b/blog/posts/arm-a-profile-architecture-2018-developments-armv85a ====== Rationale On mobile devices generic KASAN's memory usage is significant problem. One of the main reasons to have tag-based KASAN is to be able to perform a similar set of checks as the generic one does, but with lower memory requirements. Comment from Vishwath Mohan <vishwath@google.com>: I don't have data on-hand, but anecdotally both ASAN and KASAN have proven problematic to enable for environments that don't tolerate the increased memory pressure well. This includes (a) Low-memory form factors - Wear, TV, Things, lower-tier phones like Go, (c) Connected components like Pixel's visual core [1]. These are both places I'd love to have a low(er) memory footprint option at my disposal. Comment from Evgenii Stepanov <eugenis@google.com>: Looking at a live Android device under load, slab (according to /proc/meminfo) + kernel stack take 8-10% available RAM (~350MB). KASAN's overhead of 2x - 3x on top of it is not insignificant. Not having this overhead enables near-production use - ex. running KASAN/KHWASAN kernel on a personal, daily-use device to catch bugs that do not reproduce in test configuration. These are the ones that often cost the most engineering time to track down. CPU overhead is bad, but generally tolerable. RAM is critical, in our experience. Once it gets low enough, OOM-killer makes your life miserable. [1] https://www.blog.google/products/pixel/pixel-visual-core-image-processing-and-machine-learning-pixel-2/ ====== Technical details Software tag-based KASAN mode is implemented in a very similar way to the generic one. This patchset essentially does the following: 1. TCR_TBI1 is set to enable Top Byte Ignore. 2. Shadow memory is used (with a different scale, 1:16, so each shadow byte corresponds to 16 bytes of kernel memory) to store memory tags. 3. All slab objects are aligned to shadow scale, which is 16 bytes. 4. All pointers returned from the slab allocator are tagged with a random tag and the corresponding shadow memory is poisoned with the same value. 5. Compiler instrumentation is used to insert tag checks. Either by calling callbacks or by inlining them (CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE flags are reused). 6. When a tag mismatch is detected in callback instrumentation mode KASAN simply prints a bug report. In case of inline instrumentation, clang inserts a brk instruction, and KASAN has it's own brk handler, which reports the bug. 7. The memory in between slab objects is marked with a reserved tag, and acts as a redzone. 8. When a slab object is freed it's marked with a reserved tag. Bug detection is imprecise for two reasons: 1. We won't catch some small out-of-bounds accesses, that fall into the same shadow cell, as the last byte of a slab object. 2. We only have 1 byte to store tags, which means we have a 1/256 probability of a tag match for an incorrect access (actually even slightly less due to reserved tag values). Despite that there's a particular type of bugs that tag-based KASAN can detect compared to generic KASAN: use-after-free after the object has been allocated by someone else. ====== Testing Some kernel developers voiced a concern that changing the top byte of kernel pointers may lead to subtle bugs that are difficult to discover. To address this concern deliberate testing has been performed. It doesn't seem feasible to do some kind of static checking to find potential issues with pointer tagging, so a dynamic approach was taken. All pointer comparisons/subtractions have been instrumented in an LLVM compiler pass and a kernel module that would print a bug report whenever two pointers with different tags are being compared/subtracted (ignoring comparisons with NULL pointers and with pointers obtained by casting an error code to a pointer type) has been used. Then the kernel has been booted in QEMU and on an Odroid C2 board and syzkaller has been run. This yielded the following results. The two places that look interesting are: is_vmalloc_addr in include/linux/mm.h is_kernel_rodata in mm/util.c Here we compare a pointer with some fixed untagged values to make sure that the pointer lies in a particular part of the kernel address space. Since tag-based KASAN doesn't add tags to pointers that belong to rodata or vmalloc regions, this should work as is. To make sure debug checks to those two functions that check that the result doesn't change whether we operate on pointers with or without untagging has been added. A few other cases that don't look that interesting: Comparing pointers to achieve unique sorting order of pointee objects (e.g. sorting locks addresses before performing a double lock): tty_ldisc_lock_pair_timeout in drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c pipe_double_lock in fs/pipe.c unix_state_double_lock in net/unix/af_unix.c lock_two_nondirectories in fs/inode.c mutex_lock_double in kernel/events/core.c ep_cmp_ffd in fs/eventpoll.c fsnotify_compare_groups fs/notify/mark.c Nothing needs to be done here, since the tags embedded into pointers don't change, so the sorting order would still be unique. Checks that a pointer belongs to some particular allocation: is_sibling_entry in lib/radix-tree.c object_is_on_stack in include/linux/sched/task_stack.h Nothing needs to be done here either, since two pointers can only belong to the same allocation if they have the same tag. Overall, since the kernel boots and works, there are no critical bugs. As for the rest, the traditional kernel testing way (use until fails) is the only one that looks feasible. Another point here is that tag-based KASAN is available under a separate config option that needs to be deliberately enabled. Even though it might be used in a "near-production" environment to find bugs that are not found during fuzzing or running tests, it is still a debug tool. ====== Benchmarks The following numbers were collected on Odroid C2 board. Both generic and tag-based KASAN were used in inline instrumentation mode. Boot time [1]: * ~1.7 sec for clean kernel * ~5.0 sec for generic KASAN * ~5.0 sec for tag-based KASAN Network performance [2]: * 8.33 Gbits/sec for clean kernel * 3.17 Gbits/sec for generic KASAN * 2.85 Gbits/sec for tag-based KASAN Slab memory usage after boot [3]: * ~40 kb for clean kernel * ~105 kb (~260% overhead) for generic KASAN * ~47 kb (~20% overhead) for tag-based KASAN KASAN memory overhead consists of three main parts: 1. Increased slab memory usage due to redzones. 2. Shadow memory (the whole reserved once during boot). 3. Quaratine (grows gradually until some preset limit; the more the limit, the more the chance to detect a use-after-free). Comparing tag-based vs generic KASAN for each of these points: 1. 20% vs 260% overhead. 2. 1/16th vs 1/8th of physical memory. 3. Tag-based KASAN doesn't require quarantine. [1] Time before the ext4 driver is initialized. [2] Measured as `iperf -s & iperf -c 127.0.0.1 -t 30`. [3] Measured as `cat /proc/meminfo | grep Slab`. ====== Some notes A few notes: 1. The patchset can be found here: https://github.com/xairy/kasan-prototype/tree/khwasan 2. Building requires a recent Clang version (7.0.0 or later). 3. Stack instrumentation is not supported yet and will be added later. This patch (of 25): Tag-based KASAN changes the value of the top byte of pointers returned from the kernel allocation functions (such as kmalloc). This patch updates KASAN hooks signatures and their usage in SLAB and SLUB code to reflect that.

mm, slab: shorten kmalloc cache names for large sizes Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the sizes are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names as short as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.

mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable caches Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility. The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES in commit f1782c9bc547 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly reclaimable memory"). To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X. They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type. Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type cache. This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of kmem management objects.

mm, slab: combine kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4. As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series. With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-* caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note: I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63 external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation. If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified, they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding __GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls. Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately) include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the values to be in bytes. This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme: ... kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... kmalloc-rcl-96 7 32 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 1 1 0 kmalloc-rcl-64 25 128 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 2 2 0 kmalloc-rcl-32 0 0 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-2M 0 0 2097152 1 512 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 kmalloc-1M 0 0 1048576 1 256 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0 ... /proc/vmstat with renamed nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes counter: ... nr_slab_reclaimable 2817 nr_slab_unreclaimable 1781 ... nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable 0 ... /proc/meminfo with new KReclaimable counter: ... Shmem: 564 kB KReclaimable: 11260 kB Slab: 18368 kB SReclaimable: 11260 kB SUnreclaim: 7108 kB KernelStack: 1248 kB ... This patch (of 6): The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for __GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type.

mm: don't warn about large allocations for slab Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE, instead it falls back to kmalloc_large(). For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for over-sized allocations. This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for over-sized allocations for slab. Returning NULL for failed allocations is the expected behavior. Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab(). While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab(). We should check against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. It all kinda worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab(). But if we get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will happen. For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code. Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size > 192 case. This partially compensates for the additional check in slab code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically). Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check. This warning means a bug in slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it. Nothing of this affects slob.

slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on implicit merging. This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/. The slub subsystem offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate filename in sysfs. This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache. kobject_del must be called while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a cache with the same attributes could be created.

mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is asynchronous. If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash. Example of one such crash: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp ... Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab ... Call Trace: ? on_each_cpu_cond __kmem_cache_shrink kmemcg_cache_deact_after_rcu kmemcg_deactivate_workfn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation. SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have completed as well.

mm: make should_failslab always available for fault injection should_failslab() is a convenient function to hook into for directed error injection into kmalloc(). However, it is only available if a config flag is set. The following BCC script, for example, fails kmalloc() calls after a btrfs umount: from bcc import BPF prog = r""" BPF_HASH(flag); #include <linux/mm.h> int kprobe__btrfs_close_devices(void *ctx) { u64 key = 1; flag.update(&key, &key); return 0; } int kprobe__should_failslab(struct pt_regs *ctx) { u64 key = 1; u64 *res; res = flag.lookup(&key); if (res != 0) { bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM); } return 0; } """ b = BPF(text=prog) while 1: b.kprobe_poll() This patch refactors the should_failslab implementation so that the function is always available for error injection, independent of flags. This change would be similar in nature to commit f5490d3ec921 ("block: Add should_fail_bio() for bpf error injection").

slab, slub: remove size disparity on debug kernel I have noticed on debug kernel with SLAB, the size of some non-root slabs were larger than their corresponding root slabs. e.g. for radix_tree_node: $cat /proc/slabinfo | grep radix name <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ... radix_tree_node 15052 15075 4096 1 1 ... $cat /cgroup/memory/temp/memory.kmem.slabinfo | grep radix name <active_objs> <num_objs> <objsize> <objperslab> <pagesperslab> ... radix_tree_node 1581 158 4120 1 2 ... However for SLUB in debug kernel, the sizes were same. On further inspection it is found that SLUB always use kmem_cache.object_size to measure the kmem_cache.size while SLAB use the given kmem_cache.size. In the debug kernel the slab's size can be larger than its object_size. Thus in the creation of non-root slab, the SLAB uses the root's size as base to calculate the non-root slab's size and thus non-root slab's size can be larger than the root slab's size. For SLUB, the non-root slab's size is measured based on the root's object_size and thus the size will remain same for root and non-root slab. This patch makes slab's object_size the default base to measure the slab's size.

usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists This introduces CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK to control the behavior of hardened usercopy whitelist violations. By default, whitelist violations will continue to WARN() so that any bad or missing usercopy whitelists can be discovered without being too disruptive. If this config is disabled at build time or a system is booted with "slab_common.usercopy_fallback=0", usercopy whitelists will BUG() instead of WARN(). This is useful for admins that want to use usercopy whitelists immediately. Suggested-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@google.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

usercopy: Prepare for usercopy whitelisting This patch prepares the slab allocator to handle caches having annotations (useroffset and usersize) defining usercopy regions. This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Currently, hardened usercopy performs dynamic bounds checking on slab cache objects. This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs. To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access control. Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and get_user()/put_user(); these bypass hardened usercopy checks since these sizes cannot change at runtime.) To support this whitelist annotation, usercopy region offset and size members are added to struct kmem_cache. The slab allocator receives a new function, kmem_cache_create_usercopy(), that creates a new cache with a usercopy region defined, suitable for declaring spans of fields within the objects that get copied to/from userspace. In this patch, the default kmem_cache_create() marks the entire allocation as whitelisted, leaving it semantically unchanged. Once all fine-grained whitelists have been added (in subsequent patches), this will be changed to a usersize of 0, making caches created with kmem_cache_create() not copyable to/from userspace. After the entire usercopy whitelist series is applied, less than 15% of the slab cache memory remains exposed to potential usercopy bugs after a fresh boot: Total Slab Memory: 48074720 Usercopyable Memory: 6367532 13.2% task_struct 0.2% 4480/1630720 RAW 0.3% 300/96000 RAWv6 2.1% 1408/64768 ext4_inode_cache 3.0% 269760/8740224 dentry 11.1% 585984/5273856 mm_struct 29.1% 54912/188448 kmalloc-8 100.0% 24576/24576 kmalloc-16 100.0% 28672/28672 kmalloc-32 100.0% 81920/81920 kmalloc-192 100.0% 96768/96768 kmalloc-128 100.0% 143360/143360 names_cache 100.0% 163840/163840 kmalloc-64 100.0% 167936/167936 kmalloc-256 100.0% 339968/339968 kmalloc-512 100.0% 350720/350720 kmalloc-96 100.0% 455616/455616 kmalloc-8192 100.0% 655360/655360 kmalloc-1024 100.0% 812032/812032 kmalloc-4096 100.0% 819200/819200 kmalloc-2048 100.0% 1310720/1310720 After some kernel build workloads, the percentage (mainly driven by dentry and inode caches expanding) drops under 10%: Total Slab Memory: 95516184 Usercopyable Memory: 8497452 8.8% task_struct 0.2% 4000/1456000 RAW 0.3% 300/96000 RAWv6 2.1% 1408/64768 ext4_inode_cache 3.0% 1217280/39439872 dentry 11.1% 1623200/14608800 mm_struct 29.1% 73216/251264 kmalloc-8 100.0% 24576/24576 kmalloc-16 100.0% 28672/28672 kmalloc-32 100.0% 94208/94208 kmalloc-192 100.0% 96768/96768 kmalloc-128 100.0% 143360/143360 names_cache 100.0% 163840/163840 kmalloc-64 100.0% 245760/245760 kmalloc-256 100.0% 339968/339968 kmalloc-512 100.0% 350720/350720 kmalloc-96 100.0% 563520/563520 kmalloc-8192 100.0% 655360/655360 kmalloc-1024 100.0% 794624/794624 kmalloc-4096 100.0% 819200/819200 kmalloc-2048 100.0% 1257472/1257472 Signed-off-by: David Windsor <dave@nullcore.net> [kees: adjust commit log, split out a few extra kmalloc hunks] [kees: add field names to function declarations] [kees: convert BUGs to WARNs and fail closed] [kees: add attack surface reduction analysis to commit log] Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-xfs@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm: memcontrol: use vmalloc fallback for large kmem memcg arrays For quick per-memcg indexing, slab caches and list_lru structures maintain linear arrays of descriptors. As the number of concurrent memory cgroups in the system goes up, this requires large contiguous allocations (8k cgroups = order-5, 16k cgroups = order-6 etc.) for every existing slab cache and list_lru, which can easily fail on loaded systems.

mm: allow slab_nomerge to be set at build time Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to metadata exploitation is unchanged).

mm: Rename SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU A group of Linux kernel hackers reported chasing a bug that resulted from their assumption that SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU provided an existence guarantee, that is, that no block from such a slab would be reallocated during an RCU read-side critical section. Of course, that is not the case. Instead, SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU only prevents freeing of an entire slab of blocks. However, there is a phrase for this, namely "type safety". This commit therefore renames SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU in order to avoid future instances of this sort of confusion. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

kasan: drain quarantine of memcg slab objects Per memcg slab accounting and kasan have a problem with kmem_cache destruction. - kmem_cache_create() allocates a kmem_cache, which is used for allocations from processes running in root (top) memcg. - Processes running in non root memcg and allocating with either __GFP_ACCOUNT or from a SLAB_ACCOUNT cache use a per memcg kmem_cache. - Kasan catches use-after-free by having kfree() and kmem_cache_free() defer freeing of objects. Objects are placed in a quarantine. - kmem_cache_destroy() destroys root and non root kmem_caches. It takes care to drain the quarantine of objects from the root memcg's kmem_cache, but ignores objects associated with non root memcg. This causes leaks because quarantined per memcg objects refer to per memcg kmem cache being destroyed. To see the problem: 1) create a slab cache with kmem_cache_create(,,,SLAB_ACCOUNT,) 2) from non root memcg, allocate and free a few objects from cache 3) dispose of the cache with kmem_cache_destroy() kmem_cache_destroy() will trigger a "Slab cache still has objects" warning indicating that the per memcg kmem_cache structure was leaked. Fix the leak by draining kasan quarantined objects allocated from non root memcg. Racing memcg deletion is tricky, but handled. kmem_cache_destroy() => shutdown_memcg_caches() => __shutdown_memcg_cache() => shutdown_cache() flushes per memcg quarantined objects, even if that memcg has been rmdir'd and gone through memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches(). This leak only affects destroyed SLAB_ACCOUNT kmem caches when kasan is enabled. So I don't think it's worth patching stable kernels.

slab: use memcg_kmem_cache_wq for slab destruction operations If there's contention on slab_mutex, queueing the per-cache destruction work item on the system_wq can unnecessarily create and tie up a lot of kworkers. Rename memcg_kmem_cache_create_wq to memcg_kmem_cache_wq and make it global and use that workqueue for the destruction work items too. While at it, convert the workqueue from an unbound workqueue to a per-cpu one with concurrency limited to 1. It's generally preferable to use per-cpu workqueues and concurrency limit of 1 is safe enough. This is suggested by Joonsoo Kim.

slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation path With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slub uses synchronize_sched() to deactivate a memcg cache. synchronize_sched() is an expensive and slow operation and doesn't scale when a huge number of caches are destroyed back-to-back. While there used to be a simple batching mechanism, the batching was too restricted to be helpful. This patch implements slab_deactivate_memcg_cache_rcu_sched() which slub can use to schedule sched RCU callback instead of performing synchronize_sched() synchronously while holding cgroup_mutex. While this adds online cpus, mems and slab_mutex operations, operating on these locks back-to-back from the same kworker, which is what's gonna happen when there are many to deactivate, isn't expensive at all and this gets rid of the scalability problem completely.

slab: introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() __kmem_cache_shrink() is called with %true @deactivate only for memcg caches. Remove @deactivate from __kmem_cache_shrink() and introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate() instead. Each memcg-supporting allocator should implement it and it should deactivate and drain the cache. This is to allow memcg cache deactivation behavior to further deviate from simple shrinking without messing up __kmem_cache_shrink(). This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any observable behavior changes. v2: Dropped unnecessary ifdef in mm/slab.h as suggested by Vladimir.

slab: implement slab_root_caches list With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. slab_caches currently lists all caches including root and memcg ones. This is the only data structure which lists the root caches and iterating root caches can only be done by walking the list while skipping over memcg caches. As there can be a huge number of memcg caches, this can become very expensive. This also can make /proc/slabinfo behave very badly. seq_file processes reads in 4k chunks and seeks to the previous Nth position on slab_caches list to resume after each chunk. With a lot of memcg cache churns on the list, reading /proc/slabinfo can become very slow and its content often ends up with duplicate and/or missing entries. This patch adds a new list slab_root_caches which lists only the root caches. When memcg is not enabled, it becomes just an alias of slab_caches. memcg specific list operations are collected into memcg_[un]link_cache().

slab: link memcg kmem_caches on their associated memory cgroup With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. While a memcg kmem_cache is listed on its root cache's ->children list, there is no direct way to iterate all kmem_caches which are assocaited with a memory cgroup. The only way to iterate them is walking all caches while filtering out caches which don't match, which would be most of them. This makes memcg destruction operations O(N^2) where N is the total number of slab caches which can be huge. This combined with the synchronous RCU operations can tie up a CPU and affect the whole machine for many hours when memory reclaim triggers offlining and destruction of the stale memcgs. This patch adds mem_cgroup->kmem_caches list which goes through memcg_cache_params->kmem_caches_node of all kmem_caches which are associated with the memcg. All memcg specific iterations, including stat file access, are updated to use the new list instead.

slab: remove synchronous rcu_barrier() call in memcg cache release path With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches need to flush all RCU operations before destruction because slab pages are freed through RCU and they need to be able to dereference the associated kmem_cache. Currently, it's done synchronously with rcu_barrier(). As rcu_barrier() is expensive time-wise, slab implements a batching mechanism so that rcu_barrier() can be done for multiple caches at the same time. Unfortunately, the rcu_barrier() is in synchronous path which is called while holding cgroup_mutex and the batching is too limited to be actually helpful. This patch updates the cache release path so that the batching is asynchronous and global. All SLAB_DESTORY_BY_RCU caches are queued globally and a work item consumes the list. The work item calls rcu_barrier() only once for all caches that are currently queued. * release_caches() is removed and shutdown_cache() now either directly release the cache or schedules a RCU callback to do that. This makes the cache inaccessible once shutdown_cache() is called and makes it impossible for shutdown_memcg_caches() to do memcg-specific cleanups afterwards. Move memcg-specific part into a helper, unlink_memcg_cache(), and make shutdown_cache() call it directly.

Revert "slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink" Patch series "slab: make memcg slab destruction scalable", v3. With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. I've seen machines which end up with hundred thousands of caches and many millions of kernfs_nodes. The current code is O(N^2) on the total number of caches and has synchronous rcu_barrier() and synchronize_sched() in cgroup offline / release path which is executed while holding cgroup_mutex. Combined, this leads to very expensive and slow cache destruction operations which can easily keep running for half a day. This also messes up /proc/slabinfo along with other cache iterating operations. seq_file operates on 4k chunks and on each 4k boundary tries to seek to the last position in the list. With a huge number of caches on the list, this becomes very slow and very prone to the list content changing underneath it leading to a lot of missing and/or duplicate entries. This patchset addresses the scalability problem. * Add root and per-memcg lists. Update each user to use the appropriate list. * Make rcu_barrier() for SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU caches globally batched and asynchronous. * For dying empty slub caches, remove the sysfs files after deactivation so that we don't end up with millions of sysfs files without any useful information on them. This patchset contains the following nine patches. 0001-Revert-slub-move-synchronize_sched-out-of-slab_mutex.patch 0002-slub-separate-out-sysfs_slab_release-from-sysfs_slab.patch 0003-slab-remove-synchronous-rcu_barrier-call-in-memcg-ca.patch 0004-slab-reorganize-memcg_cache_params.patch 0005-slab-link-memcg-kmem_caches-on-their-associated-memo.patch 0006-slab-implement-slab_root_caches-list.patch 0007-slab-introduce-__kmemcg_cache_deactivate.patch 0008-slab-remove-synchronous-synchronize_sched-from-memcg.patch 0009-slab-remove-slub-sysfs-interface-files-early-for-emp.patch 0010-slab-use-memcg_kmem_cache_wq-for-slab-destruction-op.patch 0001 reverts an existing optimization to prepare for the following changes. 0002 is a prep patch. 0003 makes rcu_barrier() in release path batched and asynchronous. 0004-0006 separate out the lists. 0007-0008 replace synchronize_sched() in slub destruction path with call_rcu_sched(). 0009 removes sysfs files early for empty dying caches. 0010 makes destruction work items use a workqueue with limited concurrency. This patch (of 10): Revert 89e364db71fb5e ("slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink"). With kmem cgroup support enabled, kmem_caches can be created and destroyed frequently and a great number of near empty kmem_caches can accumulate if there are a lot of transient cgroups and the system is not under memory pressure. When memory reclaim starts under such conditions, it can lead to consecutive deactivation and destruction of many kmem_caches, easily hundreds of thousands on moderately large systems, exposing scalability issues in the current slab management code. This is one of the patches to address the issue. Moving synchronize_sched() out of slab_mutex isn't enough as it's still inside cgroup_mutex. The whole deactivation / release path will be updated to avoid all synchronous RCU operations. Revert this insufficient optimization in preparation to ease future changes.

mm, slab: rename kmalloc-node cache to kmalloc-<size> SLAB as part of its bootstrap pre-creates one kmalloc cache that can fit the kmem_cache_node management structure, and puts it into the generic kmalloc cache array (e.g. for 128b objects). The name of this cache is "kmalloc-node", which is confusing for readers of /proc/slabinfo as the cache is used for generic allocations (and not just the kmem_cache_node struct) and it appears as the kmalloc-128 cache is missing. An easy solution is to use the kmalloc-<size> name when pre-creating the cache, which we can get from the kmalloc_info array. Example /proc/slabinfo before the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1647 1984 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 124 124 828 kmalloc-192 1974 1974 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 94 94 133 kmalloc-96 1332 1344 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 42 42 219 kmalloc-64 2505 5952 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 93 93 715 kmalloc-32 4278 4464 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 36 36 346 kmalloc-node 1352 1376 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 43 43 53 kmem_cache 132 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 After the patch: ... kmalloc-256 1672 2160 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 135 135 807 kmalloc-192 1992 2016 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 96 96 203 kmalloc-96 1159 1184 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 37 37 116 kmalloc-64 2561 4864 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 76 76 785 kmalloc-32 4253 4340 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 35 35 270 kmalloc-128 1256 1280 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 40 40 39 kmem_cache 125 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0 [vbabka@suse.cz: export the whole kmalloc_info structure instead of just a name accessor, per Christoph Lameter] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/54e80303-b814-4232-66d4-95b34d3eb9d0@suse.cz Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170203181008.24898-1-vbabka@suse.cz Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Reviewed-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

slub: move synchronize_sched out of slab_mutex on shrink synchronize_sched() is a heavy operation and calling it per each cache owned by a memory cgroup being destroyed may take quite some time. What is worse, it's currently called under the slab_mutex, stalling all works doing cache creation/destruction. Actually, there isn't much point in calling synchronize_sched() for each cache - it's enough to call it just once - after setting cpu_partial for all caches and before shrinking them. This way, we can also move it out of the slab_mutex, which we have to hold for iterating over the slab cache list.

memcg: prevent memcg caches to be both OFF_SLAB & OBJFREELIST_SLAB While testing OBJFREELIST_SLAB integration with pagealloc, we found a bug where kmem_cache(sys) would be created with both CFLGS_OFF_SLAB & CFLGS_OBJFREELIST_SLAB. When it happened, critical allocations needed for loading drivers or creating new caches will fail. The original kmem_cache is created early making OFF_SLAB not possible. When kmem_cache(sys) is created, OFF_SLAB is possible and if pagealloc is enabled it will try to enable it first under certain conditions. Given kmem_cache(sys) reuses the original flag, you can have both flags at the same time resulting in allocation failures and odd behaviors. This fix discards allocator specific flags from memcg before calling create_cache. The bug exists since 4.6-rc1 and affects testing debug pagealloc configurations.

mm: charge/uncharge kmemcg from generic page allocator paths Currently, to charge a non-slab allocation to kmemcg one has to use alloc_kmem_pages helper with __GFP_ACCOUNT flag. A page allocated with this helper should finally be freed using free_kmem_pages, otherwise it won't be uncharged. This API suits its current users fine, but it turns out to be impossible to use along with page reference counting, i.e. when an allocation is supposed to be freed with put_page, as it is the case with pipe or unix socket buffers. To overcome this limitation, this patch moves charging/uncharging to generic page allocator paths, i.e. to __alloc_pages_nodemask and free_pages_prepare, and zaps alloc/free_kmem_pages helpers. This way, one can use any of the available page allocation functions to get the allocated page charged to kmemcg - it's enough to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT, just like in case of kmalloc and friends. A charged page will be automatically uncharged on free. To make it possible, we need to mark pages charged to kmemcg somehow. To avoid introducing a new page flag, we make use of page->_mapcount for marking such pages. Since pages charged to kmemcg are not supposed to be mapped to userspace, it should work just fine. There are other (ab)users of page->_mapcount - buddy and balloon pages - but we don't conflict with them. In case kmemcg is compiled out or not used at runtime, this patch introduces no overhead to generic page allocator paths. If kmemcg is used, it will be plus one gfp flags check on alloc and plus one page->_mapcount check on free, which shouldn't hurt performance, because the data accessed are hot.

mm: reorganize SLAB freelist randomization The kernel heap allocators are using a sequential freelist making their allocation predictable. This predictability makes kernel heap overflow easier to exploit. An attacker can careful prepare the kernel heap to control the following chunk overflowed. For example these attacks exploit the predictability of the heap: - Linux Kernel CAN SLUB overflow (https://goo.gl/oMNWkU) - Exploiting Linux Kernel Heap corruptions (http://goo.gl/EXLn95) ***Problems that needed solving: - Randomize the Freelist (singled linked) used in the SLUB allocator. - Ensure good performance to encourage usage. - Get best entropy in early boot stage. ***Parts: - 01/02 Reorganize the SLAB Freelist randomization to share elements with the SLUB implementation. - 02/02 The SLUB Freelist randomization implementation. Similar approach than the SLAB but tailored to the singled freelist used in SLUB. ***Performance data: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

mm: memcontrol: fix cgroup creation failure after many small jobs The memory controller has quite a bit of state that usually outlives the cgroup and pins its CSS until said state disappears. At the same time it imposes a 16-bit limit on the CSS ID space to economically store IDs in the wild. Consequently, when we use cgroups to contain frequent but small and short-lived jobs that leave behind some page cache, we quickly run into the 64k limitations of outstanding CSSs. Creating a new cgroup fails with -ENOSPC while there are only a few, or even no user-visible cgroups in existence. Although pinning CSSs past cgroup removal is common, there are only two instances that actually need an ID after a cgroup is deleted: cache shadow entries and swapout records. Cache shadow entries reference the ID weakly and can deal with the CSS having disappeared when it's looked up later. They pose no hurdle. Swap-out records do need to pin the css to hierarchically attribute swapins after the cgroup has been deleted; though the only pages that remain swapped out after offlining are tmpfs/shmem pages. And those references are under the user's control, so they are manageable. This patch introduces a private 16-bit memcg ID and switches swap and cache shadow entries over to using that. This ID can then be recycled after offlining when the CSS remains pinned only by objects that don't specifically need it. This script demonstrates the problem by faulting one cache page in a new cgroup and deleting it again: set -e mkdir -p pages for x in `seq 128000`; do [ $((x % 1000)) -eq 0 ] && echo $x mkdir /cgroup/foo echo $$ >/cgroup/foo/cgroup.procs echo trex >pages/$x echo $$ >/cgroup/cgroup.procs rmdir /cgroup/foo done When run on an unpatched kernel, we eventually run out of possible IDs even though there are no visible cgroups: [root@ham ~]# ./cssidstress.sh [...] 65000 mkdir: cannot create directory '/cgroup/foo': No space left on device After this patch, the IDs get released upon cgroup destruction and the cache and css objects get released once memory reclaim kicks in.

mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE. The object is poisoned and put into quarantine instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated. When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator. From now on the allocator may reuse it for another allocation. Before that happens, it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it retains the allocation/deallocation stacks). When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped. Therefore a use of this object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning. Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place. Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue. The objects are returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free errors. Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues. When a cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are moved into the global quarantine queue. Whenever a kmalloc call allows memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical memory). As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is increased. Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect incorrect accesses to it. Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator. Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later. This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov. A number of improvements have been suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

mm: memcontrol: zap memcg_kmem_online helper As kmem accounting is now either enabled for all cgroups or disabled system-wide, there's no point in having memcg_kmem_online() helper - instead one can use memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_online(), as shrink_slab() now does. There are only two places left where this helper is used - __memcg_kmem_charge() and memcg_create_kmem_cache(). The former can only be called if memcg_kmem_enabled() returned true. Since the cgroup it operates on is online, mem_cgroup_is_root() check will be enough. memcg_create_kmem_cache() can't use mem_cgroup_online() helper instead of memcg_kmem_online(), because it relies on the fact that in memcg_offline_kmem() memcg->kmem_state is changed before memcg_deactivate_kmem_caches() is called, but there we can just open-code the check.

mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory objects not bound to a single kmem_cache. Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is available from the object's page->slab_cache. Proposing to remove the kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API. Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a performance cost. It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow. The extra cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow. Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly easily. Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a kmem_cache NULL pointer.

mm: memcontrol: give the kmem states more descriptive names On any given memcg, the kmem accounting feature has three separate states: not initialized, structures allocated, and actively accounting slab memory. These are represented through a combination of the kmem_acct_activated and kmem_acct_active flags, which is confusing. Convert to a kmem_state enum with the states NONE, ALLOCATED, and ONLINE. Then rename the functions to modify the state accordingly. This follows the nomenclature of css object states more closely.

slab: add SLAB_ACCOUNT flag Currently, if we want to account all objects of a particular kmem cache, we have to pass __GFP_ACCOUNT to each kmem_cache_alloc call, which is inconvenient. This patch introduces SLAB_ACCOUNT flag which if passed to kmem_cache_create will force accounting for every allocation from this cache even if __GFP_ACCOUNT is not passed. This patch does not make any of the existing caches use this flag - it will be done later in the series. Note, a cache with SLAB_ACCOUNT cannot be merged with a cache w/o SLAB_ACCOUNT, because merged caches share the same kmem_cache struct and hence cannot have different sets of SLAB_* flags. Thus using this flag will probably reduce the number of merged slabs even if kmem accounting is not used (only compiled in).

slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change.

mm/slab_common.c: do not warn that cache is busy on destroy more than once Currently, when kmem_cache_destroy() is called for a global cache, we print a warning for each per memcg cache attached to it that has active objects (see shutdown_cache). This is redundant, because it gives no new information and only clutters the log. If a cache being destroyed has active objects, there must be a memory leak in the module that created the cache, and it does not matter if the cache was used by users in memory cgroups or not. This patch moves the warning from shutdown_cache(), which is called for shutting down both global and per memcg caches, to kmem_cache_destroy(), so that the warning is only printed once if there are objects left in the cache being destroyed.

mm/slab_common.c: clear pointers to per memcg caches on destroy Currently, we do not clear pointers to per memcg caches in the memcg_params.memcg_caches array when a global cache is destroyed with kmem_cache_destroy. This is fine if the global cache does get destroyed. However, a cache can be left on the list if it still has active objects when kmem_cache_destroy is called (due to a memory leak). If this happens, the entries in the array will point to already freed areas, which is likely to result in data corruption when the cache is reused (via slab merging).

slab: infrastructure for bulk object allocation and freeing Add the basic infrastructure for alloc/free operations on pointer arrays. It includes a generic function in the common slab code that is used in this infrastructure patch to create the unoptimized functionality for slab bulk operations. Allocators can then provide optimized allocation functions for situations in which large numbers of objects are needed. These optimization may avoid taking locks repeatedly and bypass metadata creation if all objects in slab pages can be used to provide the objects required. Allocators can extend the skeletons provided and add their own code to the bulk alloc and free functions. They can keep the generic allocation and freeing and just fall back to those if optimizations would not work (like for example when debugging is on).

Fix kmalloc slab creation sequence This patch restores the slab creation sequence that was broken by commit 4066c33d0308f8 and also reverts the portions that introduced the KMALLOC_LOOP_XXX macros.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 12220dea07f1 ("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 kmem_caches.

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.

This will fix the problem.

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 694617474e33 ("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 12220dea07f1 ("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.

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.

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.

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.

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 41a212859a4d ("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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names The patch 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4 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 3e374919b314f20e2a04f641ebc1093d758f66a4.

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 CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G B W 3.13.0+ #117 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x49/0x5b kmem_cache_destroy+0xdf/0xf0 kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children+0x97/0xc0 kmem_cache_destroy+0xf/0xf0 xfs_mru_cache_uninit+0x21/0x30 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x2e/0xc44 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x198/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b 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.

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.

memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation 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.

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.

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 f717eb3abb5e ("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 f717eb3abb5e 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; [rientjes@google.com: despaghettification] [vdavydov@parallels.com: patch monkeying] Signed-off-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.

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.

slab_common: Do not check for duplicate slab names SLUB can alias multiple slab kmem_create_requests to one slab cache to save memory and increase the cache hotness. As a result the name of the slab can be stale. Only check the name for duplicates if we are in debug mode where we do not merge multiple caches. This fixes the following problem reported by Jonathan Brassow: The problem with kmem_cache* is this: *) Assume CONFIG_SLUB is set 1) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a") - creates new kmem_cache structure 2) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-b") - If identical cache characteristics, it will be merged with the previously created cache associated with "foo-a". The cache's refcount will be incremented and an alias will be created via sysfs_slab_alias(). 3) kmem_cache_destroy(<ptr>) - Attempting to destroy cache associated with "foo-a", but instead the refcount is simply decremented. I don't even think the sysfs aliases are ever removed... 4) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a") - This FAILS because kmem_cache_sanity_check colides with the existing name ("foo-a") associated with the non-removed cache. This is a problem for RAID (specifically dm-raid) because the name used for the kmem_cache_create is ("raid%d-%p", level, mddev). If the cache persists for long enough, the memory address of an old mddev will be reused for a new mddev - causing an identical formulation of the cache name. Even though kmem_cache_destory had long ago been used to delete the old cache, the merging of caches has cause the name and cache of that old instance to be preserved and causes a colision (and thus failure) in kmem_cache_create(). I see this regularly in my testing. Reported-by: Jonathan Brassow <jbrassow@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

The commit was introducing ordering of slab creation, making sure two odd-sized slabs were created after specific powers of two sizes. But, if any of the power of two slabs were created earlier during boot, slabs at index 1 or 2 might not get created at all. This patch makes sure none of the slabs get skipped.

slab: propagate tunable values SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. 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. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create() Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: JoonSoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

memcg: aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfo When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage information somewhere. We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo, with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information stored in the group itself. For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache.

memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original" caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system. Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently in the 64k pointers range. Most of the time, we won't be using that much. What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches. Because we would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the array will only grow. It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved. We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs. When we have more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the limit is reached. Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for this to happen is when we write to the limit. At that point, we already have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization mechanism.

slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation. When the slub allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating the cache to a memcg-specific cache Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg version. 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.

slab: Ignore internal flags in cache creation 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.

The main difference lays in the fact that slab may optionally have statistics added here in case of CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG, while the slub will stick them somewhere else. By making sure that information conditionally lives inside a globally-visible CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB switch, we can move the header printing to a common location.

Lockdep has no way of knowing the fact that the ABBA can actually never happen, because of special semantics of cpu_hotplug.refcount and its handling in cpu_hotplug_begin(); the mutual exclusion there is not achieved through mutex, but through cpu_hotplug.refcount. The "neither cpu_up() nor cpu_down() will proceed past cpu_hotplug_begin() until everyone who called get_online_cpus() will call put_online_cpus()" semantics is totally invisible to lockdep. This patch therefore moves the unlock of slab_mutex so that rcu_barrier() is being called with it unlocked. It has two advantages: - it slightly reduces hold time of slab_mutex; as it's used to protect the cachep list, it's not necessary to hold it over kmem_cache_free() call any more - it silences the lockdep false positive warning, as it avoids lockdep ever learning about slab_mutex -> cpu_hotplug.lock dependency Reviewed-by: Paul E.

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. Full general support for aliases will require additional cleanup passes and more standardization of fields in kmem_cache.

mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.c Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code to slab_common avoids duplicate implementations. With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators. Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems can create temporary strings to create slab caches. Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and those can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator operations). During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about duping names.

mm/sl[aou]b: Get rid of __kmem_cache_destroy What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown. This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure. Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred free to the page allocator occurs.

mm/slab_common: Improve error handling in kmem_cache_create Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will also add more error conditions. Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem in the syslog.

mm/slab: restructure kmem_cache_create() debug checks kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is defined. These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined. Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing new warnings in the regular path. This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/13/424 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix build, cleanup] Signed-off-by: Shuah Khan <shuah.khan@hp.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
