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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable() It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays. Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once. 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.

infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's 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. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here: http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core". This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the use of #ifdef. With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following run times: before: mean 10.11882499999999999995 variance .03320378329145728642 stdev .18221905304181911048 after: mean 10.12654000000000000014 variance .04700556623115577889 stdev .21680767106160192064 The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

slub tracing: move trace calls out of always inlined functions to reduce kernel code size Having the trace calls defined in the always inlined kmalloc functions in include/linux/slub_def.h causes a lot of code duplication as the trace functions get instantiated for each kamalloc call site.

(maybe this would better being called something like kmalloc_kmem_cache ?) - adds a new function kmalloc_order() to handle allocation and tracing of large allocations of page order. - removes tracing from the inlined kmalloc_large() replacing them with a call to kmalloc_order(); - move tracing out of inlined kmalloc_node() and pushing it down into kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace - rename kmem_cache_alloc_node_notrace() to kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace() - removes the include of trace/events/kmem.h from slub_def.h. v2 - keep kmalloc_order_trace inline when !CONFIG_TRACE Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

* slab_mutex
*
* The role of the slab_mutex is to protect the list of all the slabs
* and to synchronize major metadata changes to slab cache structures.
* Also synchronizes memory hotplug callbacks.
*
* slab_lock
*
* The slab_lock is a wrapper around the page lock, thus it is a bit
* spinlock.
*
* The slab_lock is only used on arches that do not have the ability
* to do a cmpxchg_double. It only protects:
*
* A. slab->freelist -> List of free objects in a slab
* B. slab->inuse -> Number of objects in use
* C. slab->objects -> Number of objects in slab
* D. slab->frozen -> frozen state
*
* Frozen slabs
*
* If a slab is frozen then it is exempt from list management. It is not
* on any list except per cpu partial list. The processor that froze the
* slab is the one who can perform list operations on the slab. Other
* processors may put objects onto the freelist but the processor that
* froze the slab is the only one that can retrieve the objects from the
* slab's freelist.
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A.

For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially.

* The list_lock protects the partial and full list on each node and
* the partial slab counter. If taken then no new slabs may be added or
* removed from the lists nor make the number of partial slabs be modified.
* (Note that the total number of slabs is an atomic value that may be
* modified without taking the list lock).
*
* The list_lock is a centralized lock and thus we avoid taking it as
* much as possible. As long as SLUB does not have to handle partial
* slabs, operations can continue without any centralized lock. F.e.
* allocating a long series of objects that fill up slabs does not require
* the list lock.
*
* For debug caches, all allocations are forced to go through a list_lock
* protected region to serialize against concurrent validation.
*
* cpu_slab->lock local lock
*
* This locks protect slowpath manipulation of all kmem_cache_cpu fields
* except the stat counters. This is a percpu structure manipulated only by
* the local cpu, so the lock protects against being preempted or interrupted
* by an irq. Fast path operations rely on lockless operations instead.
*
* On PREEMPT_RT, the local lock neither disables interrupts nor preemption
* which means the lockless fastpath cannot be used as it might interfere with
* an in-progress slow path operations. In this case the local lock is always
* taken but it still utilizes the freelist for the common operations.
*
* lockless fastpaths
*
* The fast path allocation (slab_alloc_node()) and freeing (do_slab_free())
* are fully lockless when satisfied from the percpu slab (and when
* cmpxchg_double is possible to use, otherwise slab_lock is taken).
* They also don't disable preemption or migration or irqs. They rely on
* the transaction id (tid) field to detect being preempted or moved to
* another cpu.
*
* irq, preemption, migration considerations
*
* Interrupts are disabled as part of list_lock or local_lock operations, or
* around the slab_lock operation, in order to make the slab allocator safe
* to use in the context of an irq.
*
* In addition, preemption (or migration on PREEMPT_RT) is disabled in the
* allocation slowpath, bulk allocation, and put_cpu_partial(), so that the
* local cpu doesn't change in the process and e.g. the kmem_cache_cpu pointer
* doesn't have to be revalidated in each section protected by the local lock.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

* freelist that allows lockless access to
slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: force on no_hash_pointers when slub_debug is enabled Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some confusing slub debug messages: Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17 Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons. If we're trying to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big problems given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel logs. Let's force on the no_hash_pointers commandline flag when slub_debug is on the commandline. This makes slub debug messages more meaningful and if by chance a kernel address is in some slub debug object dump we will have a better chance of figuring out what went wrong. Note that we don't use %px in the slub code because we want to reduce the number of places that %px is used in the kernel. This also nicely prints a big fat warning at kernel boot if slub_debug is on the commandline so that we know that this kernel shouldn't be used on production systems.

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().

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache.

mm/slub: use stackdepot to save stack trace in objects Many stack traces are similar so there are many similar arrays. Stackdepot saves each unique stack only once. 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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Support for performance statistics The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's 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. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here: http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core". This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the use of #ifdef. With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following run times: before: mean 10.11882499999999999995 variance .03320378329145728642 stdev .18221905304181911048 after: mean 10.12654000000000000014 variance .04700556623115577889 stdev .21680767106160192064 The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

slub: improve bit diffusion for freelist ptr obfuscation Under CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y, the obfuscation was relatively weak in that the ptr and ptr address were usually so close that the first XOR would result in an almost entirely 0-byte value[1], leaving most of the "secret" number ultimately being stored after the third XOR. A single blind memory content exposure of the freelist was generally sufficient to learn the secret. Add a swab() call to mix bits a little more. This is a cheap way (1 cycle) to make attacks need more than a single exposure to learn the secret (or to know _where_ the exposure is in memory). kmalloc-32 freelist walk, before: ptr ptr_addr stored value secret ffff90c22e019020@ffff90c22e019000 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019040@ffff90c22e019020 is 86528eb656b3b5fd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019060@ffff90c22e019040 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e019080@ffff90c22e019060 is 86528eb656b3b57d (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff90c22e0190a0@ffff90c22e019080 is 86528eb656b3b5bd (86528eb656b3b59d) ... after: ptr ptr_addr stored value secret ffff9eed6e019020@ffff9eed6e019000 is 793d1135d52cda42 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019040@ffff9eed6e019020 is 593d1135d52cda22 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019060@ffff9eed6e019040 is 393d1135d52cda02 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e019080@ffff9eed6e019060 is 193d1135d52cdae2 (86528eb656b3b59d) ffff9eed6e0190a0@ffff9eed6e019080 is f93d1135d52cdac2 (86528eb656b3b59d) [1] https://blog.infosectcbr.com.au/2020/03/weaknesses-in-linux-kernel-heap.html Fixes: 2482ddec670f ("mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation") Reported-by: Silvio Cesare <silvio.cesare@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: 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: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/202003051623.AF4F8CB@keescook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, slub: use prefetchw instead of prefetch Commit 0ad9500e16fe ("slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc()") introduced prefetch_freepointer() because when other cpu(s) freed objects into a page that current cpu owns, the freelist link is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects and possibly very cold on current cpu. But if freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, it's better to invalidate that chain because they're not going to access again within a short time. So use prefetchw instead of prefetch. On supported architectures like x86 and arm, it invalidates other copied instances of a cache line when prefetching it.

It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

mm, debug_pagealloc: don't rely on static keys too early Commit 96a2b03f281d ("mm, debug_pagelloc: use static keys to enable debugging") has introduced a static key to reduce overhead when debug_pagealloc is compiled in but not enabled. It relied on the assumption that jump_label_init() is called before parse_early_param() as in start_kernel(), so when the "debug_pagealloc=on" option is parsed, it is safe to enable the static key. However, it turns out multiple architectures call parse_early_param() earlier from their setup_arch(). x86 also calls jump_label_init() even earlier, so no issue was found while testing the commit, but same is not true for e.g. ppc64 and s390 where the kernel would not boot with debug_pagealloc=on as found by our QA. To fix this without tricky changes to init code of multiple architectures, this patch partially reverts the static key conversion from 96a2b03f281d. Init-time and non-fastpath calls (such as in arch code) of debug_pagealloc_enabled() will again test a simple bool variable. Fastpath mm code is converted to a new debug_pagealloc_enabled_static() variant that relies on the static key, which is enabled in a well-defined point in mm_init() where it's guaranteed that jump_label_init() has been called, regardless of architecture.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's 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. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists.

So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists.

mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable() It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable() It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable() It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata). Kasan shouldn't print report in that case because these accesses are valid. Disabling instrumentation of slub.c code is not enough to achieve this because slub passes pointer to object's metadata into external functions like memchr_inv(). We don't want to disable instrumentation for memchr_inv() because this is quite generic function, and we don't want to miss bugs. metadata_access_enable/metadata_access_disable used to tell KASan where accesses to metadata starts/end, so we could temporarily disable KASan reports.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

mm/slub: fix incorrect interpretation of s->offset In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses "s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the object. That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object"). As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry, may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the following to appear with the system in panic afterwards. ============================================================================= BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G B): Freepointer corrupt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper function freeptr_outside_object() instead.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

mm/slub.c: use jitter-free reference while printing age When SLUB_DEBUG catches some issues, it prints all the required debug info. However, in a few cases where allocation and free of the object has happened in a very short time, 'age' might be misleading.

This could be because, while printing this info, we print allocation traces first and free traces thereafter. In between, if we get schedule out or jiffies increment, (jiffies - t->when) could become meaningless. Use the jitter free reference to calculate age. New output will exactly be same. 'age' is still staying with single jiffies ref in both prints.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects.

mm, slab/slub: improve error reporting and overhead of cache_from_obj() cache_from_obj() was added by commit b9ce5ef49f00 ("sl[au]b: always get the cache from its page in kmem_cache_free()") to support kmemcg, where per-memcg cache can be different from the root one, so we can't use the kmem_cache pointer given to kmem_cache_free(). Prior to that commit, SLUB already had debugging check+warning that could be enabled to compare the given kmem_cache pointer to one referenced by the slab page where the object-to-be-freed resides. This check was moved to cache_from_obj(). Later the check was also enabled for SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED configs by commit 598a0717a816 ("mm/slab: validate cache membership under freelist hardening"). These checks and warnings can be useful especially for the debugging, which can be improved. Commit 598a0717a816 changed the pr_err() with WARN_ON_ONCE() to WARN_ONCE() so only the first hit is now reported, others are silent. This patch changes it to WARN() so that all errors are reported. It's also useful to print SLUB allocation/free tracking info for the offending object, if tracking is enabled. Thus, export the SLUB print_tracking() function and provide an empty one for SLAB. For SLUB we can also benefit from the static key check in kmem_cache_debug_flags(), but we need to move this function to slab.h and declare the static key there.

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().

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

static void print_trailer(struct kmem_cache *s, struct slab *slab, u8 *p)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling.

mm/slub: fix incorrect interpretation of s->offset In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses "s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the object. That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object"). As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry, may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the following to appear with the system in panic afterwards. ============================================================================= BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G B): Freepointer corrupt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper function freeptr_outside_object() instead. Also add another helper function get_info_end() to return the end of info block (inuse + free pointer if not overlapping with object).

SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes.

/* Beginning of the filler is the free pointer */
mm/slub: clarify verification reporting Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4. This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since people doing local development keep tripping over it. :) This patch (of 3): Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of those zones got tripped.

This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects.

SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E.

kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D.

metadata_access_enable();
kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects. Use kunit_resource to count errors in cache and silence bug reports. Count error whenever slab_bug() or slab_fix() is called or when the count of pages is wrong.

Print the offset of the fault addresses to make it easier to match the incorrect poison or padding values in the dump. Before: We have to search the "63" in the dump.

mm/slub, kunit: add a KUnit test for SLUB debugging functionality SLUB has resiliency_test() function which is hidden behind #ifdef SLUB_RESILIENCY_TEST that is not part of Kconfig, so nobody runs it. KUnit should be a proper replacement for it. Try changing byte in redzone after allocation and changing pointer to next free node, first byte, 50th byte and redzone byte. Check if validation finds errors. There are several differences from the original resiliency test: Tests create own caches with known state instead of corrupting shared kmalloc caches. The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes. Scratch changing random byte test, because it does not have meaning in this form where we need deterministic results. Add new option CONFIG_SLUB_KUNIT_TEST in Kconfig. Tests next_pointer, first_word and clobber_50th_byte do not run with KASAN option on. Because the test deliberately modifies non-allocated objects.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub: fix incorrect interpretation of s->offset In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses "s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the object. That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object"). As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry, may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the following to appear with the system in panic afterwards. ============================================================================= BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G B): Freepointer corrupt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper function freeptr_outside_object() instead.

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().

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further.

mm: slub: introduce metadata_access_enable()/metadata_access_disable() It's ok for slub to access memory that marked by kasan as inaccessible (object's metadata).

metadata_access_enable();
kasan, mm: reset tags when accessing metadata Kernel allocator code accesses metadata for slab objects, that may lie out-of-bounds of the object itself, or be accessed when an object is freed. Such accesses trigger tag faults and lead to false-positive reports with hardware tag-based KASAN. Software KASAN modes disable instrumentation for allocator code via KASAN_SANITIZE Makefile macro, and rely on kasan_enable/disable_current() annotations which are used to ignore KASAN reports. With hardware tag-based KASAN neither of those options are available, as it doesn't use compiler instrumetation, no tag faults are ignored, and MTE is disabled after the first one. Instead, reset tags when accessing metadata (currently only for SLUB).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object"). As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry, may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the following to appear with the system in panic afterwards. ============================================================================= BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G B): Freepointer corrupt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper function freeptr_outside_object() instead. Also add another helper function get_info_end() to return the end of info block (inuse + free pointer if not overlapping with object).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

struct slab *slab, void *object)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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().

G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

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.

slub: restore slub_debug=- behavior Petch series "slub: Print non-hashed pointers in slub debugging", v3. I was doing some debugging recently and noticed that my pointers were being hashed while slub_debug was on the kernel commandline. Let's force on the no hash pointer option when slub_debug is on the kernel commandline so that the prints are more meaningful. The first two patches are something else I noticed while looking at the code. The message argument is never used so the debugging messages are not as clear as they could be and the slub_debug=- behavior seems to be busted. Then there's a printf fixup from Joe and the final patch is the one that force disables pointer hashing. This patch (of 4): Passing slub_debug=- on the kernel commandline is supposed to disable slub debugging. This is especially useful with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON where the default is to have slub debugging enabled in the build. Due to some code reorganization this behavior was dropped, but the code to make it work mostly stuck around. Restore the previous behavior by disabling the static key when we parse the commandline and see that we're trying to disable slub debugging.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

void **freelist, void *nextfree)
mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab() The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page. However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current and next freepointer during allocation path. As a result, once some objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to page fault. Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128 slub_nomerge'. The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free object on purpose. Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it when iterating the freechain. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 00000000123456f8 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI ... ...

kasan, mm: integrate slab init_on_free with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_free is enabled. With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code In order to report uninitialized memory coming from heap allocations KMSAN has to poison them unless they're created with __GFP_ZERO. It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

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.

With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

kasan, slub: fix handling of kasan_slab_free hook The kasan_slab_free hook's return value denotes whether the reuse of a slab object must be delayed (e.g. when the object is put into memory qurantine). The current way SLUB handles this hook is by ignoring its return value and hardcoding checks similar (but not exactly the same) to the ones performed in kasan_slab_free, which is prone to making mistakes. The main difference between the hardcoded checks and the ones in kasan_slab_free is whether we want to perform a free in case when an invalid-free or a double-free was detected (we don't). This patch changes the way SLUB handles this by: 1. taking into account the return value of kasan_slab_free for each of the objects, that are being freed; 2. reconstructing the freelist of objects to exclude the ones, whose reuse must be delayed.

mm: security: introduce init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 boot options Patch series "add init_on_alloc/init_on_free boot options", v10. Provide init_on_alloc and init_on_free boot options. These are aimed at preventing possible information leaks and making the control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. Enabling either of the options guarantees that the memory returned by the page allocator and SL[AU]B is initialized with zeroes. SLOB allocator isn't supported at the moment, as its emulation of kmem caches complicates handling of SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches correctly. Enabling init_on_free also guarantees that pages and heap objects are initialized right after they're freed, so it won't be possible to access stale data by using a dangling pointer. As suggested by Michal Hocko, right now we don't let the heap users to disable initialization for certain allocations. There's not enough evidence that doing so can speed up real-life cases, and introducing ways to opt-out may result in things going out of control. This patch (of 2): The new options are needed to prevent possible information leaks and make control-flow bugs that depend on uninitialized values more deterministic. This is expected to be on-by-default on Android and Chrome OS. And it gives the opportunity for anyone else to use it under distros too via the boot args. (The init_on_free feature is regularly requested by folks where memory forensics is included in their threat models.) init_on_alloc=1 makes the kernel initialize newly allocated pages and heap objects with zeroes. Initialization is done at allocation time at the places where checks for __GFP_ZERO are performed. init_on_free=1 makes the kernel initialize freed pages and heap objects with zeroes upon their deletion. This helps to ensure sensitive data doesn't leak via use-after-free accesses. Both init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1 guarantee that the allocator returns zeroed memory. The two exceptions are slab caches with constructors and SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU flag. Those are never zero-initialized to preserve their semantics. Both init_on_alloc and init_on_free default to zero, but those defaults can be overridden with CONFIG_INIT_ON_ALLOC_DEFAULT_ON and CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON. If either SLUB poisoning or page poisoning is enabled, those options take precedence over init_on_alloc and init_on_free: initialization is only applied to unpoisoned allocations. Slowdown for the new features compared to init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0: hackbench, init_on_free=1: +7.62% sys time (st.err 0.74%) hackbench, init_on_alloc=1: +7.75% sys time (st.err 2.14%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +8.38% wall time (st.err 0.39%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_free=1: +24.42% sys time (st.err 0.52%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: -0.13% wall time (st.err 0.42%) Linux build with -j12, init_on_alloc=1: +0.57% sys time (st.err 0.40%) The slowdown for init_on_free=0, init_on_alloc=0 compared to the baseline is within the standard error. The new features are also going to pave the way for hardware memory tagging (e.g. arm64's MTE), which will require both on_alloc and on_free hooks to set the tags for heap objects. With MTE, tagging will have the same cost as memory initialization. Although init_on_free is rather costly, there are paranoid use-cases where in-memory data lifetime is desired to be minimized. There are various arguments for/against the realism of the associated threat models, but given that we'll need the infrastructure for MTE anyway, and there are people who want wipe-on-free behavior no matter what the performance cost, it seems reasonable to include it in this series.

kasan, slub: fix handling of kasan_slab_free hook The kasan_slab_free hook's return value denotes whether the reuse of a slab object must be delayed (e.g. when the object is put into memory qurantine). The current way SLUB handles this hook is by ignoring its return value and hardcoding checks similar (but not exactly the same) to the ones performed in kasan_slab_free, which is prone to making mistakes. The main difference between the hardcoded checks and the ones in kasan_slab_free is whether we want to perform a free in case when an invalid-free or a double-free was detected (we don't). This patch changes the way SLUB handles this by: 1. taking into account the return value of kasan_slab_free for each of the objects, that are being freed; 2. reconstructing the freelist of objects to exclude the ones, whose reuse must be delayed.

kasan, mm: integrate slab init_on_free with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_free is enabled. With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_free are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. For SLUB, the memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_free_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_free_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_free is enabled.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

static struct slab *allocate_slab(struct kmem_cache *s, gfp_t flags, int node)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

slab->inuse = 0;
slab->frozen = 0;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slab->slab_cache = s;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

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.

shuffle = shuffle_freelist(s, slab);
mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

static void free_slab(struct kmem_cache *s, struct slab *slab)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

static void discard_slab(struct kmem_cache *s, struct slab *slab)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: do not assert not having lock in removing freed partial Vladimir reported the following issue: Commit c65c1877bd68 ("slub: use lockdep_assert_held") requires remove_partial() to be called with n->list_lock held, but free_partial() called from kmem_cache_close() on cache destruction does not follow this rule, leading to a warning: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2787 at mm/slub.c:1536 __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x1b2/0x1f0() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 2787 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G W 3.14.0-rc1-mm1+ #1 Hardware name: 0000000000000600 ffff88003ae1dde8 ffffffff816d9583 0000000000000600 0000000000000000 ffff88003ae1de28 ffffffff8107c107 0000000000000000 ffff880037ab2b00 ffff88007c240d30 ffffea0001ee5280 ffffea0001ee52a0 Call Trace: __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x1b2/0x1f0 kmem_cache_destroy+0x43/0xf0 xfs_destroy_zones+0x103/0x110 [xfs] exit_xfs_fs+0x38/0x4e4 [xfs] SyS_delete_module+0x19a/0x1f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b His solution was to add a spinlock in order to quiet lockdep. Although there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system. Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed. Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

__add_partial(struct kmem_cache_node *n, struct slab *slab, int tail)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Although there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system. Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed. Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

Although there would be no contention to adding the lock, that lock also requires disabling of interrupts which will have a larger impact on the system. Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed. Also added a __add_partial() function that does not do the lock validation either, as it is not needed for the creation of the cache.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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 ...

(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().

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

struct kmem_cache_node *n, struct slab *slab,
mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race: task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable() task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial) interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually halves of the pointer page->lru.prev task B (on another CPU): frees page interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial() happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

static void put_cpu_partial(struct kmem_cache *s, struct slab *slab, int drain);
mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race: task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable() task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial) interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually halves of the pointer page->lru.prev task B (on another CPU): frees page interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial() happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node() get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate. "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly. As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently. This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node() get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate.

As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

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().

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails" This reverts commit 8ff60eb052eeba95cfb3efe16b08c9199f8121cf. The kernel test robot reports a huge performance regression due to the commit, and the reason seems fairly straightforward: when there is contention on the page list (which is what causes acquire_slab() to fail), we do _not_ want to just loop and try again, because that will transfer the contention to the 'n->list_lock' spinlock we hold, and just make things even worse. This is admittedly likely a problem only on big machines - the kernel test robot report comes from a 96-thread dual socket Intel Xeon Gold 6252 setup, but the regression there really is quite noticeable: -47.9% regression of stress-ng.rawpkt.ops_per_sec and the commit that was marked as being fixed (7ced37197196: "slub: Acquire_slab() avoid loop") actually did the loop exit early very intentionally (the hint being that "avoid loop" part of that commit message), exactly to avoid this issue. The correct thing to do may be to pick some kind of reasonable middle ground: instead of breaking out of the loop on the very first sign of contention, or trying over and over and over again, the right thing may be to re-try _once_, and then give up on the second failure (or pick your favorite value for "once"..).

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().

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

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: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

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.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

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

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().

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.

cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3 Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that there is no node to alloc memory. The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example: (mpol: mempolicy) task1 task1's mpol task2 alloc page 1 alloc on node0? NO 1 1 change mems from 1 to 0 1 rebind task1's mpol 0-1 set new bits 0 clear disallowed bits alloc on node1? NO 0 ... can't alloc page goto oom This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up.

[ 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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

mm/slub.c: fix corrupted freechain in deactivate_slab() The slub_debug is able to fix the corrupted slab freelist/page. However, alloc_debug_processing() only checks the validity of current and next freepointer during allocation path. As a result, once some objects have their freepointers corrupted, deactivate_slab() may lead to page fault. Below is from a test kernel module when 'slub_debug=PUF,kmalloc-128 slub_nomerge'. The test kernel corrupts the freepointer of one free object on purpose. Unfortunately, deactivate_slab() does not detect it when iterating the freechain.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB). I wonder if this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: refactoring unfreeze_partials() Current implementation of unfreeze_partials() is so complicated, but benefit from it is insignificant. In addition many code in do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop, we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case. In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed, remove_partial should be called case by case. I think that these are disadvantages of current implementation, so I do refactoring unfreeze_partials(). Minimizing code in do {} while loop introduce a reduced fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

slub: refactoring unfreeze_partials() Current implementation of unfreeze_partials() is so complicated, but benefit from it is insignificant. In addition many code in do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop, we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case. In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed, remove_partial should be called case by case.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

slub: refactoring unfreeze_partials() Current implementation of unfreeze_partials() is so complicated, but benefit from it is insignificant. In addition many code in do {} while loop have a bad influence to a fail rate of cmpxchg_double_slab. Under current implementation which test status of cpu partial slab and acquire list_lock in do {} while loop, we don't need to acquire a list_lock and gain a little benefit when front of the cpu partial slab is to be discarded, but this is a rare case. In case that add_partial is performed and cmpxchg_double_slab is failed, remove_partial should be called case by case.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race: task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable() task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial) interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually halves of the pointer page->lru.prev task B (on another CPU): frees page interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial() happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race: task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable() task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial) interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually halves of the pointer page->lru.prev task B (on another CPU): frees page interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial() happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

this_cpu_write(s->cpu_slab->partial, slab);
mm, slub: protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs instead of cmpxchg Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race: task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable() task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial) interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually halves of the pointer page->lru.prev task B (on another CPU): frees page interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial() happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

Maybe that's acceptable, I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be in a completely different state. Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial() on RT. After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial() with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere. This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

struct slab *slab = c->slab;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.

static bool has_cpu_slab(int cpu, struct kmem_cache *s)
slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy(). So every cache being destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system, regardless if the cache has ever been used there. For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy(). So running some infiniband config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency sensitive task. I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario. This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such objects. The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for locking regardless. Without this patch the following artificial test case: $ cd /sys/kernel/slab $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none. The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y config was tested using fault injection framework.

return c->slab || slub_percpu_partial(c);
slub: only IPI CPUs that have per cpu obj to flush flush_all() is called for each kmem_cache_destroy(). So every cache being destroyed dynamically ends up sending an IPI to each CPU in the system, regardless if the cache has ever been used there. For example, if you close the Infinband ipath driver char device file, the close file ops calls kmem_cache_destroy(). So running some infiniband config tool on one a single CPU dedicated to system tasks might interrupt the rest of the 127 CPUs dedicated to some CPU intensive or latency sensitive task. I suspect there is a good chance that every line in the output of "git grep kmem_cache_destroy linux/ | grep '\->'" has a similar scenario. This patch attempts to rectify this issue by sending an IPI to flush the per cpu objects back to the free lists only to CPUs that seem to have such objects. The check which CPU to IPI is racy but we don't care since asking a CPU without per cpu objects to flush does no damage and as far as I can tell the flush_all by itself is racy against allocs on remote CPUs anyway, so if you required the flush_all to be determinstic, you had to arrange for locking regardless. Without this patch the following artificial test case: $ cd /sys/kernel/slab $ for DIR in *; do cat $DIR/alloc_calls > /dev/null; done produces 166 IPIs on an cpuset isolated CPU. With it it produces none. The code path of memory allocation failure for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y config was tested using fault injection framework.

mm: slub: fix flush_cpu_slab()/__free_slab() invocations in task context. Commit 5a836bf6b09f ("mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context") moved all flush_cpu_slab() invocations to the global workqueue to avoid a problem related with deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() being called from an IRQ context on PREEMPT_RT kernels. When the flush_all_cpu_locked() function is called from a task context it may happen that a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set ends up flushing the global workqueue, this will cause a dependency issue. workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nvme-delete-wq:nvme_delete_ctrl_work [nvme_core] is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events:flush_cpu_slab WARNING: CPU: 37 PID: 410 at kernel/workqueue.c:2637 check_flush_dependency+0x10a/0x120 Workqueue: nvme-delete-wq nvme_delete_ctrl_work [nvme_core] RIP: 0010:check_flush_dependency+0x10a/0x120[ 453.262125] Call Trace: __flush_work.isra.0+0xbf/0x220 ? __queue_work+0x1dc/0x420 flush_all_cpus_locked+0xfb/0x120 __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x2b/0x320 kmem_cache_destroy+0x49/0x100 bioset_exit+0x143/0x190 blk_release_queue+0xb9/0x100 kobject_cleanup+0x37/0x130 nvme_fc_ctrl_free+0xc6/0x150 [nvme_fc] nvme_free_ctrl+0x1ac/0x2b0 [nvme_core] Fix this bug by creating a workqueue for the flush operation with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

static inline int node_match(struct slab *slab, int node)
SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab.

mm, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc() Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags. Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts are undesirable. As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into ___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit, slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled. kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption. When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow blocking (this will be improved by later patches). The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption (on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following patches. Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

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, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc() Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags. Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts are undesirable. As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into ___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit, slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled. kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption. When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow blocking (this will be improved by later patches). The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption (on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following patches. Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

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().

On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB however only allocates kmem_cache_node on online N_NORMAL_MEMORY nodes, and relies on node_to_mem_node to return such valid node for other nodes since commit a561ce00b09e ("slub: fall back to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on memoryless node"). This is however not true in this configuration where the _node_numa_mem_ array is not initialized for nodes 0 and 2-31, thus it contains zeroes and get_partial() ends up accessing non-allocated kmem_cache_node. A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3] where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k kmalloc-512. This seems to have the same underlying issue with node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4]. This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node() anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no usable memory. The "usable memory" condition is also changed from node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures. The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in ___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being reached with an invalid node.

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.

A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3] where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k kmalloc-512. This seems to have the same underlying issue with node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4]. This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node() anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no usable memory. The "usable memory" condition is also changed from node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures. The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in ___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being reached with an invalid node.

node = NUMA_NO_NODE;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

A related issue was reported by Bharata (originally by Ramachandran) [3] where a similar PowerPC configuration, but with mainline kernel without patch [2] ends up allocating large amounts of pages by kmalloc-1k kmalloc-512. This seems to have the same underlying issue with node_to_mem_node() not behaving as expected, and might probably also lead to an infinite loop with CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL [4]. This patch should fix both issues by not relying on node_to_mem_node() anymore and instead simply falling back to NUMA_NO_NODE, when kmalloc_node(node) is attempted for a node that's not online, or has no usable memory. The "usable memory" condition is also changed from node_present_pages() to N_NORMAL_MEMORY node state, as that is exactly the condition that SLUB uses to allocate kmem_cache_node structures. The check in get_partial() is removed completely, as the checks in ___slab_alloc() are now sufficient to prevent get_partial() being reached with an invalid node.

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: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster.

To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages When a user or administrator requires swap for their application, they create a swap partition and file, format it with mkswap and activate it with swapon. Swap over the network is considered as an option in diskless systems. The two likely scenarios are when blade servers are used as part of a cluster where the form factor or maintenance costs do not allow the use of disks and thin clients. The Linux Terminal Server Project recommends the use of the Network Block Device (NBD) for swap according to the manual at https://sourceforge.net/projects/ltsp/files/Docs-Admin-Guide/LTSPManual.pdf/download There is also documentation and tutorials on how to setup swap over NBD at places like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/EnableNBDSWAP The nbd-client also documents the use of NBD as swap. Despite this, the fact is that a machine using NBD for swap can deadlock within minutes if swap is used intensively. This patch series addresses the problem. The core issue is that network block devices do not use mempools like normal block devices do. As the host cannot control where they receive packets from, they cannot reliably work out in advance how much memory they might need. Some years ago, Peter Zijlstra developed a series of patches that supported swap over an NFS that at least one distribution is carrying within their kernels. This patch series borrows very heavily from Peter's work to support swapping over NBD as a pre-requisite to supporting swap-over-NFS. The bulk of the complexity is concerned with preserving memory that is allocated from the PFMEMALLOC reserves for use by the network layer which is needed for both NBD and NFS. Patch 1 adds knowledge of the PFMEMALLOC reserves to SLAB and SLUB to preserve access to pages allocated under low memory situations to callers that are freeing memory. Patch 2 optimises the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks Patch 3 introduces __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to the PFMEMALLOC reserves without setting PFMEMALLOC. Patch 4 opens the possibility for softirqs to use PFMEMALLOC reserves for later use by network packet processing. Patch 5 only sets page->pfmemalloc when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS was required Patch 6 ignores memory policies when ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS is set. Patches 7-12 allows network processing to use PFMEMALLOC reserves when the socket has been marked as being used by the VM to clean pages. If packets are received and stored in pages that were allocated under low-memory situations and are unrelated to the VM, the packets are dropped. Patch 11 reintroduces __skb_alloc_page which the networking folk may object to but is needed in some cases to propogate pfmemalloc from a newly allocated page to an skb. If there is a strong objection, this patch can be dropped with the impact being that swap-over-network will be slower in some cases but it should not fail. Patch 13 is a micro-optimisation to avoid a function call in the common case. Patch 14 tags NBD sockets as being SOCK_MEMALLOC so they can use PFMEMALLOC if necessary. Patch 15 notes that it is still possible for the PFMEMALLOC reserve to be depleted. To prevent this, direct reclaimers get throttled on a waitqueue if 50% of the PFMEMALLOC reserves are depleted. It is expected that kswapd and the direct reclaimers already running will clean enough pages for the low watermark to be reached and the throttled processes are woken up. Patch 16 adds a statistic to track how often processes get throttled Some basic performance testing was run using kernel builds, netperf on loopback for UDP and TCP, hackbench (pipes and sockets), iozone and sysbench. Each of them were expected to use the sl*b allocators reasonably heavily but there did not appear to be significant performance variances. For testing swap-over-NBD, a machine was booted with 2G of RAM with a swapfile backed by NBD. 8*NUM_CPU processes were started that create anonymous memory mappings and read them linearly in a loop. The total size of the mappings were 4*PHYSICAL_MEMORY to use swap heavily under memory pressure. Without the patches and using SLUB, the machine locks up within minutes and runs to completion with them applied. With SLAB, the story is different as an unpatched kernel run to completion. However, the patched kernel completed the test 45% faster. MICRO 3.5.0-rc2 3.5.0-rc2 vanilla swapnbd Unrecognised test vmscan-anon-mmap-write MMTests Statistics: duration Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 197.80 173.07 User+Sys Time Running Test (seconds) 206.96 182.03 Total Elapsed Time (seconds) 3240.70 1762.09 This patch: mm: sl[au]b: add knowledge of PFMEMALLOC reserve pages Allocations of pages below the min watermark run a risk of the machine hanging due to a lack of memory. To prevent this, only callers who have PF_MEMALLOC or TIF_MEMDIE set and are not processing an interrupt are allowed to allocate with ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS. Once they are allocated to a slab though, nothing prevents other callers consuming free objects within those slabs. This patch limits access to slab pages that were alloced from the PFMEMALLOC reserves. When this patch is applied, pages allocated from below the low watermark are returned with page->pfmemalloc set and it is up to the caller to determine how the page should be protected. SLAB restricts access to any page with page->pfmemalloc set to callers which are known to able to access the PFMEMALLOC reserve. If one is not available, an attempt is made to allocate a new page rather than use a reserve. SLUB is a bit more relaxed in that it only records if the current per-CPU page was allocated from PFMEMALLOC reserve and uses another partial slab if the caller does not have the necessary GFP or process flags. This was found to be sufficient in tests to avoid hangs due to SLUB generally maintaining smaller lists than SLAB. In low-memory conditions it does mean that !PFMEMALLOC allocators can fail a slab allocation even though free objects are available because they are being preserved for callers that are freeing pages.

c->slab = NULL;
mm/slub: add missing TID updates on slab deactivation The fastpath in slab_alloc_node() assumes that c->slab is stable as long as the TID stays the same. However, two places in __slab_alloc() currently don't update the TID when deactivating the CPU slab. If multiple operations race the right way, this could lead to an object getting lost; or, in an even more unlikely situation, it could even lead to an object being freed onto the wrong slab's freelist, messing up the `inuse` counter and eventually causing a page to be freed to the page allocator while it still contains slab objects. (I haven't actually tested these cases though, this is just based on looking at the code. Writing testcases for this stuff seems like it'd be a pain...) The race leading to state inconsistency is (all operations on the same CPU and kmem_cache): - task A: begin do_slab_free(): - read TID - read pcpu freelist (==NULL) - check `slab == c->slab` (true) - [PREEMPT A->B] - task B: begin slab_alloc_node(): - fastpath fails (`c->freelist` is NULL) - enter __slab_alloc() - slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption) - enter ___slab_alloc() - take local_lock_irqsave() - read c->freelist as NULL - get_freelist() returns NULL - write `c->slab = NULL` - drop local_unlock_irqrestore() - goto new_slab - slub_percpu_partial() is NULL - get_partial() returns NULL - slub_put_cpu_ptr() (enables preemption) - [PREEMPT B->A] - task A: finish do_slab_free(): - this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() succeeds() - [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab==NULL, c->freelist!=NULL] From there, the object on c->freelist will get lost if task B is allowed to continue from here: It will proceed to the retry_load_slab label, set c->slab, then jump to load_freelist, which clobbers c->freelist. But if we instead continue as follows, we get worse corruption: - task A: run __slab_free() on object from other struct slab: - CPU_PARTIAL_FREE case (slab was on no list, is now on pcpu partial) - task A: run slab_alloc_node() with NUMA node constraint: - fastpath fails (c->slab is NULL) - call __slab_alloc() - slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption) - enter ___slab_alloc() - c->slab is NULL: goto new_slab - slub_percpu_partial() is non-NULL - set c->slab to slub_percpu_partial(c) - [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab points to slab-1, c->freelist has objects from slab-2] - goto redo - node_match() fails - goto deactivate_slab - existing c->freelist is passed into deactivate_slab() - inuse count of slab-1 is decremented to account for object from slab-2 At this point, the inuse count of slab-1 is 1 lower than it should be. This means that if we free all allocated objects in slab-1 except for one, SLUB will think that slab-1 is completely unused, and may free its page, leading to use-after-free.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

c->slab = NULL;
c->freelist = NULL;
mm/slub: add missing TID updates on slab deactivation The fastpath in slab_alloc_node() assumes that c->slab is stable as long as the TID stays the same. However, two places in __slab_alloc() currently don't update the TID when deactivating the CPU slab. If multiple operations race the right way, this could lead to an object getting lost; or, in an even more unlikely situation, it could even lead to an object being freed onto the wrong slab's freelist, messing up the `inuse` counter and eventually causing a page to be freed to the page allocator while it still contains slab objects. (I haven't actually tested these cases though, this is just based on looking at the code. Writing testcases for this stuff seems like it'd be a pain...) The race leading to state inconsistency is (all operations on the same CPU and kmem_cache): - task A: begin do_slab_free(): - read TID - read pcpu freelist (==NULL) - check `slab == c->slab` (true) - [PREEMPT A->B] - task B: begin slab_alloc_node(): - fastpath fails (`c->freelist` is NULL) - enter __slab_alloc() - slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption) - enter ___slab_alloc() - take local_lock_irqsave() - read c->freelist as NULL - get_freelist() returns NULL - write `c->slab = NULL` - drop local_unlock_irqrestore() - goto new_slab - slub_percpu_partial() is NULL - get_partial() returns NULL - slub_put_cpu_ptr() (enables preemption) - [PREEMPT B->A] - task A: finish do_slab_free(): - this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() succeeds() - [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab==NULL, c->freelist!=NULL] From there, the object on c->freelist will get lost if task B is allowed to continue from here: It will proceed to the retry_load_slab label, set c->slab, then jump to load_freelist, which clobbers c->freelist. But if we instead continue as follows, we get worse corruption: - task A: run __slab_free() on object from other struct slab: - CPU_PARTIAL_FREE case (slab was on no list, is now on pcpu partial) - task A: run slab_alloc_node() with NUMA node constraint: - fastpath fails (c->slab is NULL) - call __slab_alloc() - slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption) - enter ___slab_alloc() - c->slab is NULL: goto new_slab - slub_percpu_partial() is non-NULL - set c->slab to slub_percpu_partial(c) - [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab points to slab-1, c->freelist has objects from slab-2] - goto redo - node_match() fails - goto deactivate_slab - existing c->freelist is passed into deactivate_slab() - inuse count of slab-1 is decremented to account for object from slab-2 At this point, the inuse count of slab-1 is 1 lower than it should be. This means that if we free all allocated objects in slab-1 except for one, SLUB will think that slab-1 is completely unused, and may free its page, leading to use-after-free.

deactivate_slab(s, slab, freelist);
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

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.

return NULL;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB). I wonder if this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc() Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags. Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts are undesirable. As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into ___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit, slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled. kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption. When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow blocking (this will be improved by later patches). The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption (on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following patches. Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in all configurations.

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.

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.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB). I wonder if this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?] Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

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.

slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc() Recycling a page is a problem, since freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, and possibly very cold on cpu currently owning slab. Adding a prefetch of cache line containing the pointer to next object in slab_alloc() helps a lot in many workloads, in particular on assymetric ones (allocations done on one cpu, frees on another cpus). Added cost is three machine instructions only. Examples on my dual socket quad core ht machine (Intel CPU E5540 @2.53GHz) (16 logical cpus, 2 memory nodes), 64bit kernel.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption.

slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in slab_alloc() Recycling a page is a problem, since freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, and possibly very cold on cpu currently owning slab. Adding a prefetch of cache line containing the pointer to next object in slab_alloc() helps a lot in many workloads, in particular on assymetric ones (allocations done on one cpu, frees on another cpus). Added cost is three machine instructions only. Examples on my dual socket quad core ht machine (Intel CPU E5540 @2.53GHz) (16 logical cpus, 2 memory nodes), 64bit kernel.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

kasan, mm: integrate slab init_on_alloc with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_alloc is enabled. With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_alloc are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. The memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_post_alloc_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_post_alloc_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc is enabled.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

mm: introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that superblock is even accessible to that memcg. These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that instantiated at any given point in time. For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock. What it comes down to is that adding the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert. So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru. In the later patch, we will convert all inode and dentry allocation from kmem_cache_alloc to kmem_cache_alloc_lru.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB.

However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab.

* have a longer lifetime than the cpu slabs in most processing loads.
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel.

Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I.

Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

SLUB: Support for performance statistics The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load. -r Report option will report detailed statistics on Example (tbench load): slabinfo -AD ->Shows the most active slabs Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast skbuff_fclone_cache 33 111953835 111953835 99 99 :0000192 2666 5283688 5281047 99 99 :0001024 849 5247230 5246389 83 83 vm_area_struct 1349 119642 118355 91 22 :0004096 15 66753 66751 98 98 :0000064 2067 25297 23383 98 78 dentry 10259 28635 18464 91 45 :0000080 11004 18950 8089 98 98 :0000096 1703 12358 10784 99 98 :0000128 762 10582 9875 94 18 :0000512 184 9807 9647 95 81 :0002048 479 9669 9195 83 65 anon_vma 777 9461 9002 99 71 kmalloc-8 6492 9981 5624 99 97 :0000768 258 7174 6931 58 15 So the skbuff_fclone_cache is of highest importance for the tbench load.

* Slab on the partial list.
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

discard_slab(s, slab);
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

slub: fix spelling succedd to succeed With this patchset the SLUB allocator now has both bulk alloc and free implemented. This patchset mostly optimizes the "fastpath" where objects are available on the per CPU fastpath page. This mostly amortize the less-heavy none-locked cmpxchg_double used on fastpath. The "fallback" bulking (e.g __kmem_cache_free_bulk) provides a good basis for comparison. Measurements[1] of the fallback functions __kmem_cache_{free,alloc}_bulk have been copied from slab_common.c and forced "noinline" to force a function call like slab_common.c.

Once the working set increases, resulting in activating the "slowpath" (that contains the heavier locked cmpxchg_double) the improvement decreases. I'm currently working on also optimizing the "slowpath" (as network stack use-case hits this), but this patchset should provide a good foundation for further improvements. Rest of my patch queue in this area needs some more work, but preliminary results are good. I'm attending Netfilter Workshop[2] next week, and I'll hopefully return working on further improvements in this area.

mm/slub: optimize alloc/free fastpath by removing preemption on/off We had to insert a preempt enable/disable in the fastpath a while ago in order to guarantee that tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved on the same cpu. It is the problem only for CONFIG_PREEMPT in which scheduler can move the process to other cpu during retrieving data. Now, I reach the solution to remove preempt enable/disable in the fastpath. If tid is matched with kmem_cache_cpu's tid after tid and kmem_cache_cpu are retrieved by separate this_cpu operation, it means that they are retrieved on the same cpu. If not matched, we just have to retry it. With this guarantee, preemption enable/disable isn't need at all even if CONFIG_PREEMPT, so this patch removes it. I saw roughly 5% win in a fast-path loop over kmem_cache_alloc/free in CONFIG_PREEMPT.

Note that this change slightly worses performance in !CONFIG_PREEMPT, roughly 0.3%. Implementing each case separately would help performance, but, since it's so marginal, I didn't do that. This would help maintanance since we have same code for all cases.

Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects. If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in terms of atomic operations that have to be performed. We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects. They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is particular good for netperf. In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB. [I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

However, there is someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB).

kasan, slub: fix handling of kasan_slab_free hook The kasan_slab_free hook's return value denotes whether the reuse of a slab object must be delayed (e.g. when the object is put into memory qurantine). The current way SLUB handles this hook is by ignoring its return value and hardcoding checks similar (but not exactly the same) to the ones performed in kasan_slab_free, which is prone to making mistakes. The main difference between the hardcoded checks and the ones in kasan_slab_free is whether we want to perform a free in case when an invalid-free or a double-free was detected (we don't). This patch changes the way SLUB handles this by: 1. taking into account the return value of kasan_slab_free for each of the objects, that are being freed; 2. reconstructing the freelist of objects to exclude the ones, whose reuse must be delayed.

kasan: add CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS This commit splits the current CONFIG_KASAN config option into two: 1. CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC, that enables the generic KASAN mode (the one that exists now); 2. CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS, that enables the software tag-based KASAN mode. The name CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS is chosen as in the future we will have another hardware tag-based KASAN mode, that will rely on hardware memory tagging support in arm64. With CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS enabled, compiler options are changed to instrument kernel files with -fsantize=kernel-hwaddress (except the ones for which KASAN_SANITIZE := n is set). Both CONFIG_KASAN_GENERIC and CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS support both CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE and CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE instrumentation modes. This commit also adds empty placeholder (for now) implementation of tag-based KASAN specific hooks inserted by the compiler and adjusts common hooks implementation. While this commit adds the CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS config option, this option is not selectable, as it depends on HAVE_ARCH_KASAN_SW_TAGS, which we will enable once all the infrastracture code has been added.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

slub: initial bulk free implementation This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk(). SLUB allocator now both have bulk alloc and free implemented. Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free(). In worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles). Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of local_irq_{disable+enable}. Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to why this optimization works.

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

slub: initial bulk free implementation This implements SLUB specific kmem_cache_free_bulk(). SLUB allocator now both have bulk alloc and free implemented. Choose to reenable local IRQs while calling slowpath __slab_free(). In worst case, where all objects hit slowpath call, the performance should still be faster than fallback function __kmem_cache_free_bulk(), because local_irq_{disable+enable} is very fast (7-cycles), while the fallback invokes this_cpu_cmpxchg() which is slightly slower (9-cycles). Nitpicking, this should be faster for N>=4, due to the entry cost of local_irq_{disable+enable}. Do notice that the save+restore variant is very expensive, this is key to why this optimization works.

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: 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: 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. This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles. Performance data: Benchmarked[1] obj size 256 bytes on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with "slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

slub bulk alloc: extract objects from the per cpu slab First piece: acceleration of retrieval of per cpu objects If we are allocating lots of objects then it is advantageous to disable interrupts and avoid the this_cpu_cmpxchg() operation to get these objects faster. Note that we cannot do the fast operation if debugging is enabled, because we would have to add extra code to do all the debugging checks. And it would not be fast anyway. Note also that the requirement of having interrupts disabled avoids having to do processor flag operations.

mm, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc() Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags. Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts are undesirable. As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into ___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit, slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled. kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption. When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow blocking (this will be improved by later patches). The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption (on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following patches. Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

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, slub: move disabling/enabling irqs to ___slab_alloc() Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags. Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts are undesirable. As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into ___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit, slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled. kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption. When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow blocking (this will be improved by later patches). The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption (on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following patches. Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

mm, slub: better heuristic for number of cpus when calculating slab order When creating a new kmem cache, SLUB determines how large the slab pages will based on number of inputs, including the number of CPUs in the system. Larger slab pages mean that more objects can be allocated/free from per-cpu slabs before accessing shared structures, but also potentially more memory can be wasted due to low slab usage and fragmentation. The rough idea of using number of CPUs is that larger systems will be more likely to benefit from reduced contention, and also should have enough memory to spare. Number of CPUs used to be determined as nr_cpu_ids, which is number of possible cpus, but on some systems many will never be onlined, thus commit 045ab8c9487b ("mm/slub: let number of online CPUs determine the slub page order") changed it to nr_online_cpus(). However, for kmem caches created early before CPUs are onlined, this may lead to permamently low slab page sizes. Vincent reports a regression [1] of hackbench on arm64 systems: "I'm facing significant performances regression on a large arm64 server system (224 CPUs). Regressions is also present on small arm64 system (8 CPUs) but in a far smaller order of magnitude On 224 CPUs system : 9 iterations of hackbench -l 16000 -g 16 v5.11-rc4 : 9.135sec (+/- 0.45%) v5.11-rc4 + revert this patch: 3.173sec (+/- 0.48%) v5.10: 3.136sec (+/- 0.40%)" Mel reports a regression [2] of hackbench on x86_64, with lockstat suggesting page allocator contention: "i.e. the patch incurs a 7% to 32% performance penalty. This bisected cleanly yesterday when I was looking for the regression and then found the thread. Numerous caches change size. For example, kmalloc-512 goes from order-0 (vanilla) to order-2 with the revert. So mostly this is down to the number of times SLUB calls into the page allocator which only caches order-0 pages on a per-cpu basis" Clearly num_online_cpus() doesn't work too early in bootup. We could change the order dynamically in a memory hotplug callback, but runtime order changing for existing kmem caches has been already shown as dangerous, and removed in 32a6f409b693 ("mm, slub: remove runtime allocation order changes"). It could be resurrected in a safe manner with some effort, but to fix the regression we need something simpler. We could use num_present_cpus() that should be the number of physically present CPUs even before they are onlined. That would work for PowerPC [3], which triggered the original commit, but that still doesn't work on arm64 [4] as explained in [5]. So this patch tries to determine the best available value without specific arch knowledge. - num_present_cpus() if the number is larger than 1, as that means the arch is likely setting it properly - nr_cpu_ids otherwise This should fix the reported regressions while also keeping the effect of 045ab8c9487b for PowerPC systems. It's possible there are configurations where num_present_cpus() is 1 during boot while nr_cpu_ids is at the same time bloated, so these (if they exist) would keep the large orders based on nr_cpu_ids as was before 045ab8c9487b.

SLUB: dynamic per-cache MIN_PARTIAL This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more pages we keep on the partial list. I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al. To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository: git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git and then run the following command n times on your machine: time ./fio examples/netio The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows: [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ] real time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17 SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72 SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20 sys time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28 SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28 SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29 user time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29 SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67 SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32 As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close to the size of a page.

init_kmem_cache_node(struct kmem_cache_node *n)
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Place kmem_cache_cpu structures in a NUMA aware way The kmem_cache_cpu structures introduced are currently an array placed in the kmem_cache struct. Meaning the kmem_cache_cpu structures are overwhelmingly on the wrong node for systems with a higher amount of nodes. These are performance critical structures since the per node information has to be touched for every alloc and free in a slab. In order to place the kmem_cache_cpu structure optimally we put an array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu structs in kmem_cache (similar to SLAB). However, the kmem_cache_cpu structures can now be allocated in a more intelligent way. We would like to put per cpu structures for the same cpu but different slab caches in cachelines together to save space and decrease the cache footprint. However, the slab allocators itself control only allocations per node. We set up a simple per cpu array for every processor with 100 per cpu structures which is usually enough to get them all set up right. If we run out then we fall back to kmalloc_node. This also solves the bootstrap problem since we do not have to use slab allocator functions early in boot to get memory for the small per cpu structures. Pro: - NUMA aware placement improves memory performance - All global structures in struct kmem_cache become readonly - Dense packing of per cpu structures reduces cacheline footprint in SMP and NUMA. - Potential avoidance of exclusive cacheline fetches on the free and alloc hotpath since multiple kmem_cache_cpu structures are in one cacheline. This is particularly important for the kmalloc array. Cons: - Additional reference to one read only cacheline (per cpu array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu) in both slab_alloc() and slab_free().

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles. Sadly this does nothing for the slowpath which is where the main issues with performance in slub are but the best case performance rises significantly.

Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slub Use the this_cpu_cmpxchg_double functionality to implement a lockless allocation algorithm on arches that support fast this_cpu_ops. Each of the per cpu pointers is paired with a transaction id that ensures that updates of the per cpu information can only occur in sequence on a certain cpu. A transaction id is a "long" integer that is comprised of an event number and the cpu number. The event number is incremented for every change to the per cpu state. This means that the cmpxchg instruction can verify for an update that nothing interfered and that we are updating the percpu structure for the processor where we picked up the information and that we are also currently on that processor when we update the information. This results in a significant decrease of the overhead in the fastpaths. It also makes it easy to adopt the fast path for realtime kernels since this is lockless and does not require the use of the current per cpu area over the critical section. It is only important that the per cpu area is current at the beginning of the critical section and at the end. So there is no need even to disable preemption. Test results show that the fastpath cycle count is reduced by up to ~ 40% (alloc/free test goes from ~140 cycles down to ~80). The slowpath for kfree adds a few cycles.

static struct kmem_cache *kmem_cache_node;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

We set up a simple per cpu array for every processor with 100 per cpu structures which is usually enough to get them all set up right. If we run out then we fall back to kmalloc_node. This also solves the bootstrap problem since we do not have to use slab allocator functions early in boot to get memory for the small per cpu structures. Pro: - NUMA aware placement improves memory performance - All global structures in struct kmem_cache become readonly - Dense packing of per cpu structures reduces cacheline footprint in SMP and NUMA. - Potential avoidance of exclusive cacheline fetches on the free and alloc hotpath since multiple kmem_cache_cpu structures are in one cacheline. This is particularly important for the kmalloc array. Cons: - Additional reference to one read only cacheline (per cpu array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu) in both slab_alloc() and slab_free().

* memory on a fresh node that has no slab structures yet.
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

slab = new_slab(kmem_cache_node, GFP_NOWAIT, node);
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

BUG_ON(!slab);
mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

n = slab->freelist;
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

kasan, mm: integrate slab init_on_alloc with HW_TAGS This change uses the previously added memory initialization feature of HW_TAGS KASAN routines for slab memory when init_on_alloc is enabled. With this change, memory initialization memset() is no longer called when both HW_TAGS KASAN and init_on_alloc are enabled. Instead, memory is initialized in KASAN runtime. The memory initialization memset() is moved into slab_post_alloc_hook() that currently directly follows the initialization loop. A new argument is added to slab_post_alloc_hook() that indicates whether to initialize the memory or not. To avoid discrepancies with which memory gets initialized that can be caused by future changes, both KASAN hook and initialization memset() are put together and a warning comment is added. Combining setting allocation tags with memory initialization improves HW_TAGS KASAN performance when init_on_alloc is enabled.

Instead of adding a spinlock to a location where it is not needed for lockdep, make a __remove_partial() function that does not test if the list_lock is held, as no one should have it due to it being freed.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects.

#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL
mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists.

So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

mm/slub: increase default cpu partial list sizes The defaults are determined based on object size and can go up to 30 for objects smaller than 256 bytes. Before the previous patch changed the accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30 pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation order. Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >= PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages in practice.

mm/slub: increase default cpu partial list sizes The defaults are determined based on object size and can go up to 30 for objects smaller than 256 bytes. Before the previous patch changed the accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30 pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation order. Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >= PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages in practice. A quick test of booting a kernel under virtme with 4GB RAM and 8 vcpus shows the following slab memory usage after boot: Before previous patch (using page->pobjects): Slab: 36732 kB SReclaimable: 14836 kB SUnreclaim: 21896 kB After previous patch (using page->pages): Slab: 34720 kB SReclaimable: 13716 kB SUnreclaim: 21004 kB After this patch (using page->pages, higher defaults): Slab: 35252 kB SReclaimable: 13944 kB SUnreclaim: 21308 kB In the same setup, I also ran 5 times: hackbench -l 16000 -g 16 Differences in time were in the noise, we can compare slub stats as given by slabinfo -r skbuff_head_cache (the other cache heavily used by hackbench, kmalloc-cg-512 looks similar).

Interestingly, the number of fasthpath allocations increased, as well as allocations from the cpu partial list, even though it's shorter.

mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub: fix incorrect interpretation of s->offset In a couple of places in the slub memory allocator, the code uses "s->offset" as a check to see if the free pointer is put right after the object. That check is no longer true with commit 3202fa62fb43 ("slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object"). As a result, echoing "1" into the validate sysfs file, e.g. of dentry, may cause a bunch of "Freepointer corrupt" error reports like the following to appear with the system in panic afterwards. ============================================================================= BUG dentry(666:pmcd.service) (Tainted: G B): Freepointer corrupt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To fix it, use the check "s->offset == s->inuse" in the new helper function freeptr_outside_object() instead. Also add another helper function get_info_end() to return the end of info block (inuse + free pointer if not overlapping with object).

slub: relocate freelist pointer to middle of object In a recent discussion[1] with Vitaly Nikolenko and Silvio Cesare, it became clear that moving the freelist pointer away from the edge of allocations would likely improve the overall defensive posture of the inline freelist pointer. My benchmarks show no meaningful change to performance (they seem to show it being faster), so this looks like a reasonable change to make. Instead of having the freelist pointer at the very beginning of an allocation (offset 0) or at the very end of an allocation (effectively offset -sizeof(void *) from the next allocation), move it away from the edges of the allocation and into the middle. This provides some protection against small-sized neighboring overflows (or underflows), for which the freelist pointer is commonly the target. (Large or well controlled overwrites are much more likely to attack live object contents, instead of attempting freelist corruption.) The vaunted kernel build benchmark, across 5 runs. Before: Mean: 250.05 Std Dev: 1.85 and after, which appears mysteriously faster: Mean: 247.13 Std Dev: 0.76 Attempts at running "sysbench --test=memory" show the change to be well in the noise (sysbench seems to be pretty unstable here -- it's not really measuring allocation). Hackbench is more allocation-heavy, and while the std dev is above the difference, it looks like may manifest as an improvement as well: 20 runs of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000", before: Mean: 36.322 Std Dev: 0.577 and after: Mean: 36.056 Std Dev: 0.598 [1] https://twitter.com/vnik5287/status/1235113523098685440 Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Vitaly Nikolenko <vnik@duasynt.com> Cc: Silvio Cesare <silvio.cesare@gmail.com> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com>Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/202003051624.AAAC9AECC@keescook Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

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().

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects.

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).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

mm: add SLUB free list pointer obfuscation This SLUB free list pointer obfuscation code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's 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. This adds a per-cache random value to SLUB caches that is XORed with their freelist pointer address and value. This adds nearly zero overhead and frustrates the very common heap overflow exploitation method of overwriting freelist pointers. A recent example of the attack is written up here: http://cyseclabs.com/blog/cve-2016-6187-heap-off-by-one-exploit and there is a section dedicated to the technique the book "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core". This is based on patches by Daniel Micay, and refactored to minimize the use of #ifdef. With 200-count cycles of "hackbench -g 20 -l 1000" I saw the following run times: before: mean 10.11882499999999999995 variance .03320378329145728642 stdev .18221905304181911048 after: mean 10.12654000000000000014 variance .04700556623115577889 stdev .21680767106160192064 The difference gets lost in the noise, but if the above is to be taken literally, using CONFIG_FREELIST_HARDENED is 0.07% slower.

Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

mm: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp. It is a very focused testing, kernbench show the overall impact on the system is way lower. Before: Single thread testing ===================== 1.

SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slab, slub: skip unnecessary kasan_cache_shutdown() The kasan quarantine is designed to delay freeing slab objects to catch use-after-free. The quarantine can be large (several percent of machine memory size). When kmem_caches are deleted related objects are flushed from the quarantine but this requires scanning the entire quarantine which can be very slow. We have seen the kernel busily working on this while holding slab_mutex and badly affecting cache_reaper, slabinfo readers and memcg kmem cache creations. It can easily reproduced by following script: yes . | head -1000000 | xargs stat > /dev/null for i in `seq 1 10`; do seq 500 | (cd /cg/memory && xargs mkdir) seq 500 | xargs -I{} sh -c 'echo $BASHPID > \ /cg/memory/{}/tasks && exec stat .' > /dev/null seq 500 | (cd /cg/memory && xargs rmdir) done The busy stack: kasan_cache_shutdown shutdown_cache memcg_destroy_kmem_caches mem_cgroup_css_free css_free_rwork_fn process_one_work worker_thread kthread ret_from_fork This patch is based on the observation that if the kmem_cache to be destroyed is empty then there should not be any objects of this cache in the quarantine. Without the patch the script got stuck for couple of hours. With the patch the script completed within a second.

This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A.

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.

mm/slub: Fix backtrace of objects to handle redzone adjustment This commit fixes commit 8e7f37f2aaa5 ("mm: Add mem_dump_obj() to print source of memory block"). With current code, the backtrace of allocated object is incorrect: / # cat /proc/meminfo [ 14.969843] slab kmalloc-64 start c8ab0140 data offset 64 pointer offset 0 size 64 allocated at 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.970635] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.970794] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.970932] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971077] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971202] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971317] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971423] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971635] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971740] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.971871] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.972229] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.972363] 0x6b6b6b6b [ 14.972505] 0xa56b6b6b [ 14.972631] 0xbbbbbbbb [ 14.972734] 0xc8ab0400 [ 14.972891] meminfo_proc_show+0x40/0x4fc The reason is that the object address was not adjusted for the red zone.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm, kfence: insert KFENCE hooks for SLUB Inserts KFENCE hooks into the SLUB 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.

slub: never fail to shrink cache SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

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

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, slub: stop freeing kmem_cache_node structures on node offline Patch series "mm, slab, slub: remove cpu and memory hotplug locks". Some related work caused me to look at how we use get/put_mems_online() and get/put_online_cpus() during kmem cache creation/descruction/shrinking, and realize that it should be actually safe to remove all of that with rather small effort (as e.g. Michal Hocko suspected in some of the past discussions already). This has the benefit to avoid rather heavy locks that have caused locking order issues already in the past. So this is the result, Patches 2 and 3 remove memory hotplug and cpu hotplug locking, respectively. Patch 1 is due to realization that in fact some races exist despite the locks (even if not removed), but the most sane solution is not to introduce more of them, but rather accept some wasted memory in scenarios that should be rare anyway (full memory hot remove), as we do the same in other contexts already. This patch (of 3): Commit e4f8e513c3d3 ("mm/slub: fix a deadlock in show_slab_objects()") has fixed a problematic locking order by removing the memory hotplug lock get/put_online_mems() from show_slab_objects(). During the discussion, it was argued [1] that this is OK, because existing slabs on the node would prevent a hotremove to proceed. That's true, but per-node kmem_cache_node structures are not necessarily allocated on the same node and may exist even without actual slab pages on the same node. Any path that uses get_node() directly or via for_each_kmem_cache_node() (such as show_slab_objects()) can race with freeing of kmem_cache_node even with the !NULL check, resulting in use-after-free. To that end, commit e4f8e513c3d3 argues in a comment that: * We don't really need mem_hotplug_lock (to hold off * slab_mem_going_offline_callback) here because slab's memory hot * unplug code doesn't destroy the kmem_cache->node[] data. While it's true that slab_mem_going_offline_callback() doesn't free the kmem_cache_node, the later callback slab_mem_offline_callback() actually does, so the race and use-after-free exists. Not just for show_slab_objects() after commit e4f8e513c3d3, but also many other places that are not under slab_mutex. And adding slab_mutex locking or other synchronization to SLUB paths such as get_any_partial() would be bad for performance and error-prone. The easiest solution is therefore to make the abovementioned comment true and stop freeing the kmem_cache_node structures, accepting some wasted memory in the full memory node removal scenario. Analogically we also don't free hotremoved pgdat as mentioned in [1], nor the similar per-node structures in SLAB. Importantly this approach will not block the hotremove, as generally such nodes should be movable in order to succeed hotremove in the first place, and thus the GFP_KERNEL allocated kmem_cache_node will come from elsewhere.

memcg: memory hotplug fix for notifier callback Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug. While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem. (Because freeing bootmem requires special care.) Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true. But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.) And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section". So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL. One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never be called. (low priority than slub now.) I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it. Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation: - free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%.

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.

slub: force on no_hash_pointers when slub_debug is enabled Obscuring the pointers that slub shows when debugging makes for some confusing slub debug messages: Padding overwritten. 0x0000000079f0674a-0x000000000d4dce17 Those addresses are hashed for kernel security reasons. If we're trying to be secure with slub_debug on the commandline we have some big problems given that we dump whole chunks of kernel memory to the kernel logs. Let's force on the no_hash_pointers commandline flag when slub_debug is on the commandline. This makes slub debug messages more meaningful and if by chance a kernel address is in some slub debug object dump we will have a better chance of figuring out what went wrong. Note that we don't use %px in the slub code because we want to reduce the number of places that %px is used in the kernel. This also nicely prints a big fat warning at kernel boot if slub_debug is on the commandline so that we know that this kernel shouldn't be used on production systems.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

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.

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: SLUB freelist randomization Implements freelist randomization for the SLUB allocator. It was previous implemented for the SLAB allocator. Both use the same configuration option (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM). The list is randomized during initialization of a new set of pages. The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed at boot for performance. Each kmem_cache has its own randomized freelist. This security feature reduces the predictability of the kernel SLUB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks much less stable. 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) Performance results: slab_test impact is between 3% to 4% on average for 100000 attempts without smp.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

Commit 5a836bf6b09f ("mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations __free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context") moved all flush_cpu_slab() invocations to the global workqueue to avoid a problem related with deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() being called from an IRQ context on PREEMPT_RT kernels. When the flush_all_cpu_locked() function is called from a task context it may happen that a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set ends up flushing the global workqueue, this will cause a dependency issue. workqueue: WQ_MEM_RECLAIM nvme-delete-wq:nvme_delete_ctrl_work [nvme_core] is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM events:flush_cpu_slab WARNING: CPU: 37 PID: 410 at kernel/workqueue.c:2637 check_flush_dependency+0x10a/0x120 Workqueue: nvme-delete-wq nvme_delete_ctrl_work [nvme_core] RIP: 0010:check_flush_dependency+0x10a/0x120[ 453.262125] Call Trace: __flush_work.isra.0+0xbf/0x220 ? __queue_work+0x1dc/0x420 flush_all_cpus_locked+0xfb/0x120 __kmem_cache_shutdown+0x2b/0x320 kmem_cache_destroy+0x49/0x100 bioset_exit+0x143/0x190 blk_release_queue+0xb9/0x100 kobject_cleanup+0x37/0x130 nvme_fc_ctrl_free+0xc6/0x150 [nvme_fc] nvme_free_ctrl+0x1ac/0x2b0 [nvme_core] Fix this bug by creating a workqueue for the flush operation with the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones) This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency of slab counters. Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values around an object have not been compromised. A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file. i.e. echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs slabinfo -v Error messages will show up in the syslog. Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available. Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones) This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency of slab counters. Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values around an object have not been compromised. A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file. i.e. echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs slabinfo -v Error messages will show up in the syslog. Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available. Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones) This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency of slab counters. Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values around an object have not been compromised. A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file. i.e. echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs slabinfo -v Error messages will show up in the syslog. Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available. Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

The corruption of freepointer uses correct offset, the original resiliency test got broken with freepointer changes.

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/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.

[ 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/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).

[ 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.

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.

void *addr = slab_address(slab);
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/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.

#ifdef SLAB_SUPPORTS_SYSFS
SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc() The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

struct slab *slab;
SLUB: Avoid page struct cacheline bouncing due to remote frees to cpu slab A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer because of cacheline bouncing. This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called kmem_cache_cpu. Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure. This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with the page struct lock the slab. The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern. The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/ slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance. If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted. If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However, both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via the partial list happen. It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased performance. More code cleanups become possible: - Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around. Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions. - Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality checks. Effect on allocations: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch: Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching that cacheline) The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is halfway out of the hot path. Effect on freeing: Cachelines touched before this patch: Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free: Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that avoids touching the page struct on free) Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not the cpu slab. Summary: Pro: - Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing. - Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment that talks about that concern). Cons: - Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these references. - Memory usage grows slightly. The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word (pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data. So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm/slub: fix a deadlock in show_slab_objects() A long time ago we fixed a similar deadlock in show_slab_objects() [1]. However, it is apparently due to the commits like 01fb58bcba63 ("slab: remove synchronous synchronize_sched() from memcg cache deactivation path") and 03afc0e25f7f ("slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}"), this kind of deadlock is back by just reading files in /sys/kernel/slab which will generate a lockdep splat below. Since the "mem_hotplug_lock" here is only to obtain a stable online node mask while racing with NUMA node hotplug, in the worst case, the results may me miscalculated while doing NUMA node hotplug, but they shall be corrected by later reads of the same files.

SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm, slub: remove runtime allocation order changes SLUB allows runtime changing of page allocation order by writing into the /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/order file. Jann has reported [1] that this interface allows the order to be set too small, leading to crashes. While it's possible to fix the immediate issue, closer inspection reveals potential races. Storing the new order calls calculate_sizes() which non-atomically updates a lot of kmem_cache fields while the cache is still in use. Unexpected behavior might occur even if the fields are set to the same value as they were. This could be fixed by splitting out the part of calculate_sizes() that depends on forced_order, so that we only update kmem_cache.oo field. This could still race with init_cache_random_seq(), shuffle_freelist(), allocate_slab(). Perhaps it's possible to audit and e.g. add some READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE accesses, it might be easier just to remove the runtime order changes, which is what this patch does. If there are valid usecases for per-cache order setting, we could e.g. extend the boot parameters to do that.

slub: add min_partial sysfs tunable Now that a cache's min_partial has been moved to struct kmem_cache, it's possible to easily tune it from userspace by adding a sysfs attribute. It may not be desirable to keep a large number of partial slabs around if a cache is used infrequently and memory, especially when constrained by a cgroup, is scarce. It's better to allow userspace to set the minimum policy per cache instead of relying explicitly on kmem_cache_shrink(). The memory savings from simply moving min_partial from struct kmem_cache_node to struct kmem_cache is obviously not significant (unless maybe you're from SGI or something), at the largest it's # allocated caches * (MAX_NUMNODES - 1) * sizeof(unsigned long) The true savings occurs when userspace reduces the number of partial slabs that would otherwise be wasted, especially on machines with a large number of nodes (ia64 with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT at 10 for default?). As well as the kernel estimates ideal values for n->min_partial and ensures it's within a sane range, userspace has no other input other than writing to /sys/kernel/slab/cache/shrink. There simply isn't any better heuristic to add when calculating the partial values for a better estimate that works for all possible caches. And since it's currently a static value, the user really has no way of reclaiming that wasted space, which can be significant when constrained by a cgroup (either cpusets or, later, memory controller slab limits) without shrinking it entirely. This also allows the user to specify that increased fragmentation and more partial slabs are actually desired to avoid the cost of allocating new slabs at runtime for specific caches. There's also no reason why this should be a per-struct kmem_cache_node value in the first place. You could argue that a machine would have such node size asymmetries that it should be specified on a per-node basis, but we know nobody is doing that right now since it's a purely static value at the moment and there's no convenient way to tune that via slub's sysfs interface.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work.

{
mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option.

The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

cpu, objects, slabs);
mm, slub: change percpu partial accounting from objects to pages With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node() - once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list. To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache, set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file cpu_partial. However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding: page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse); page->next = oldpage; Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects (up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB. While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only (which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely. This is also ultimately simpler. To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average. This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target number of objects. We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch doesn't do that. In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly long percpu partial lists. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CAG48ez2Qx5K1Cab-m8BdSibp6wLTip6ro4=-umR7BLsEgjEYzA@mail.gmail.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/2f0f46e8-2535-410a-1859-e9cfa4e57c18@suse.cz/ ========== Evaluation ========== Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf (localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below. So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial lists than after this patch. However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30 pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are still there to allow that.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

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>

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>

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm, slub: make some slub_debug related attributes read-only SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the files. Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache. Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be recomputed. However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths. Thus it would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support. The documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits its usefulness anyway for many caches. Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles was the only way to achieve such configuration. After the previous patch it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute files read-only. While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another.

mm, slub: make some slub_debug related attributes read-only SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given cache. The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the files. Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache. Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be recomputed. However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths. Thus it would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support. The documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits its usefulness anyway for many caches. Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles was the only way to achieve such configuration. After the previous patch it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute files read-only. While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones) This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency of slab counters. Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values around an object have not been compromised. A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file. i.e. echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs slabinfo -v Error messages will show up in the syslog. Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available. Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an inconsistent state. For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong slab counts. This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate handler return -EINVAL. For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock coverage against concurrent validation as necessary. The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under the new scheme, so drop its usage here. The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial() that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab deactivation. To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the current forced deactivation path. Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

slub: never fail to shrink cache SLUB's version of __kmem_cache_shrink() not only removes empty slabs, but also tries to rearrange the partial lists to place slabs filled up most to the head to cope with fragmentation. To achieve that, it allocates a temporary array of lists used to sort slabs by the number of objects in use. If the allocation fails, the whole procedure is aborted. This is unacceptable for the kernel memory accounting extension of the memory cgroup, where we want to make sure that kmem_cache_shrink() successfully discarded empty slabs. Although the allocation failure is utterly unlikely with the current page allocator implementation, which retries GFP_KERNEL allocations of order <= 2 infinitely, it is better not to rely on that. This patch therefore makes __kmem_cache_shrink() allocate the array on stack instead of calling kmalloc, which may fail. The array size is chosen to be equal to 32, because most SLUB caches store not more than 32 objects per slab page. Slab pages with <= 32 free objects are sorted using the array by the number of objects in use and promoted to the head of the partial list, while slab pages with > 32 free objects are left in the end of the list without any ordering imposed on them.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Support for performance statistics The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity.

treewide: kmalloc() -> kmalloc_array() The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This patch replaces cases of: kmalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own implementation of kmalloc().

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

kfence: add sysfs interface to disable kfence for selected slabs. By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by other slab objects. This patch introduces a sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced) SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

slub: add min_partial sysfs tunable Now that a cache's min_partial has been moved to struct kmem_cache, it's possible to easily tune it from userspace by adding a sysfs attribute. It may not be desirable to keep a large number of partial slabs around if a cache is used infrequently and memory, especially when constrained by a cgroup, is scarce. It's better to allow userspace to set the minimum policy per cache instead of relying explicitly on kmem_cache_shrink(). The memory savings from simply moving min_partial from struct kmem_cache_node to struct kmem_cache is obviously not significant (unless maybe you're from SGI or something), at the largest it's # allocated caches * (MAX_NUMNODES - 1) * sizeof(unsigned long) The true savings occurs when userspace reduces the number of partial slabs that would otherwise be wasted, especially on machines with a large number of nodes (ia64 with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT at 10 for default?). As well as the kernel estimates ideal values for n->min_partial and ensures it's within a sane range, userspace has no other input other than writing to /sys/kernel/slab/cache/shrink. There simply isn't any better heuristic to add when calculating the partial values for a better estimate that works for all possible caches. And since it's currently a static value, the user really has no way of reclaiming that wasted space, which can be significant when constrained by a cgroup (either cpusets or, later, memory controller slab limits) without shrinking it entirely. This also allows the user to specify that increased fragmentation and more partial slabs are actually desired to avoid the cost of allocating new slabs at runtime for specific caches. There's also no reason why this should be a per-struct kmem_cache_node value in the first place. You could argue that a machine would have such node size asymmetries that it should be specified on a per-node basis, but we know nobody is doing that right now since it's a purely static value at the moment and there's no convenient way to tune that via slub's sysfs interface.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones) This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency of slab counters. Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values around an object have not been compromised. A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file. i.e. echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs slabinfo -v Error messages will show up in the syslog. Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available. Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB: Support for performance statistics The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache footprint of SLUB. There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime statistics and its off by default. The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options: -D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size mode to activity mode. -A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity.

slub: per cpu cache for partial pages Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid per node lock taking. In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure. We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning partial lists for pages with free objects. The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones. Potential future enhancements: 1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts. 2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

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.

kfence: add sysfs interface to disable kfence for selected slabs. By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by other slab objects. This patch introduces a sysfs interface '/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is taken depending on whether kmem_cache.flags has (newly introduced) SLAB_SKIP_KFENCE flag set or not.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K.

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).

Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code In order to report uninitialized memory coming from heap allocations KMSAN has to poison them unless they're created with __GFP_ZERO. It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

slub: fix sysfs duplicate filename creation when slub_debug=O When slub_debug=O is set. It is possible to clear debug flags for an "unmergeable" slab cache in kmem_cache_open(). It makes the "unmergeable" cache became "mergeable" in sysfs_slab_add(). These caches will generate their "unique IDs" by create_unique_id(), but it is possible to create identical unique IDs. In my experiment, sgpool-128, names_cache, biovec-256 generate the same ID ":Ft-0004096" and the kernel reports "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/kernel/slab/:Ft-0004096'". To repeat my experiment, set disable_higher_order_debug=1, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y in kernel-4.14.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

slub: make sysfs directories for memcg sub-caches optional SLUB creates a per-cache directory under /sys/kernel/slab which hosts a bunch of debug files. Usually, there aren't that many caches on a system and this doesn't really matter; however, if memcg is in use, each cache can have per-cgroup sub-caches. SLUB creates the same directories for these sub-caches under /sys/kernel/slab/$CACHE/cgroup. Unfortunately, because there can be a lot of cgroups, active or draining, the product of the numbers of caches, cgroups and files in each directory can reach a very high number - hundreds of thousands is commonplace. Millions and beyond aren't difficult to reach either. What's under /sys/kernel/slab is primarily for debugging and the information and control on the a root cache already cover its sub-caches. While having a separate directory for each sub-cache can be helpful for development, it doesn't make much sense to pay this amount of overhead by default. This patch introduces a boot parameter slub_memcg_sysfs which determines whether to create sysfs directories for per-memcg sub-caches. It also adds CONFIG_SLUB_MEMCG_SYSFS_ON which determines the boot parameter's default value and defaults to 0.

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.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I.

Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases. Tested on: i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator SLUB Boot options slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This increases the managed chunk size and therefore reduces meta data and locking overhead. slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8. slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified. slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of caches Available Debug options F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency R Red zoning P Object / padding poisoning U Track last free / alloc T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs). To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab allocator.

mm: kmsan: call KMSAN hooks from SLUB code In order to report uninitialized memory coming from heap allocations KMSAN has to poison them unless they're created with __GFP_ZERO. It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed. In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed objects.

SLUB core This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns with the existing implementation. A. Management of object queues A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of queueing them up. B. Storage overhead of object queues SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues. C. SLAB meta data overhead SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over. SLAB cannot do this. D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs. E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects from one node and then will switch to the next. F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to decrease fragmentation. G. Tunables SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the better SLUB will be scaling. G. Slab merging We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying slub_nomerge on boot up. Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those. H. Diagnostics The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths). SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option. Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running with the usual performance and it is much more likely that race conditions can be reproduced. I. Resiliency If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the system to continue. J. Tracing Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache and dump the object contents on free. K. On demand DMA cache creation. Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed. For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is completely eliminated. L. Performance increase Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may enable further performance increases.

mm: slub: make slab_sysfs_init() a late_initcall Currently, slab_sysfs_init() is an __initcall aka device_initcall. It is rather time-consuming; on my board it takes around 11ms. That's about 1% of the time budget I have from U-Boot letting go and until linux must assume responsibility of keeping the external watchdog happy. There's no particular reason this would need to run at device_initcall time, so instead make it a late_initcall to allow vital functionality to get started a bit sooner. This actually ends up winning more than just those 11ms, because the slab caches that get created during other device_initcalls (and before my watchdog device gets probed) now don't end up doing the somewhat expensive sysfs_slab_add() themselves. Some example lines (with initcall_debug set) before/after: initcall ext4_init_fs+0x0/0x1ac returned 0 after 1386 usecs initcall journal_init+0x0/0x138 returned 0 after 517 usecs initcall init_fat_fs+0x0/0x68 returned 0 after 294 usecs initcall ext4_init_fs+0x0/0x1ac returned 0 after 240 usecs initcall journal_init+0x0/0x138 returned 0 after 32 usecs initcall init_fat_fs+0x0/0x68 returned 0 after 18 usecs Altogether, this means I now get to petting the watchdog around 17ms sooner. [Of course, the time the other initcalls save is instead spent in slab_sysfs_init(), which goes from 11ms to 16ms, so there's no overall change in boot time.] Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@gmail.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

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/slub: Convert most struct page to struct slab by spatch The majority of conversion from struct page to struct slab in SLUB internals can be delegated to a coccinelle semantic patch. This includes renaming of variables with 'page' in name to 'slab', and similar. Big thanks to Julia Lawall and Luis Chamberlain for help with coccinelle. // Options: --include-headers --no-includes --smpl-spacing include/linux/slub_def.h mm/slub.c // Note: needs coccinelle 1.1.1 to avoid breaking whitespace, and ocaml for the // embedded script // build list of functions to exclude from applying the next rule @initialize:ocaml@ @@ let ok_function p = not (List.mem (List.hd p).current_element ["nearest_obj";"obj_to_index";"objs_per_slab_page";"__slab_lock";"__slab_unlock";"free_nonslab_page";"kmalloc_large_node"]) // convert the type from struct page to struct page in all functions except the // list from previous rule // this also affects struct kmem_cache_cpu, but that's ok @@ position p : script:ocaml() { ok_function p }; @@ - struct page@p + struct slab // in struct kmem_cache_cpu, change the name from page to slab // the type was already converted by the previous rule @@ @@ struct kmem_cache_cpu { ... -struct slab *page; +struct slab *slab; ... } // there are many places that use c->page which is now c->slab after the // previous rule @@ struct kmem_cache_cpu *c; @@ -c->page +c->slab @@ @@ struct kmem_cache { ... - unsigned int cpu_partial_pages; + unsigned int cpu_partial_slabs; ... } @@ struct kmem_cache *s; @@ - s->cpu_partial_pages + s->cpu_partial_slabs @@ @@ static void - setup_page_debug( + setup_slab_debug( ...) {...} @@ @@ - setup_page_debug( + setup_slab_debug( ...); // for all functions (with exceptions), change any "struct slab *page" // parameter to "struct slab *slab" in the signature, and generally all // occurences of "page" to "slab" in the body - with some special cases. @@ identifier fn !~ "free_nonslab_page|obj_to_index|objs_per_slab_page|nearest_obj"; @@ fn(..., - struct slab *page + struct slab *slab ,...) { <... - page + slab ...> } // similar to previous but the param is called partial_page @@ identifier fn; @@ fn(..., - struct slab *partial_page + struct slab *partial_slab ,...) { <... - partial_page + partial_slab ...> } // similar to previous but for functions that take pointer to struct page ptr @@ identifier fn; @@ fn(..., - struct slab **ret_page + struct slab **ret_slab ,...) { <... - ret_page + ret_slab ...> } // functions converted by previous rules that were temporarily called using // slab_page(E) so we want to remove the wrapper now that they accept struct // slab ptr directly @@ identifier fn =~ "slab_free|do_slab_free"; expression E; @@ fn(..., - slab_page(E) + E ,...) // similar to previous but for another pattern @@ identifier fn =~ "slab_pad_check|check_object"; @@ fn(..., - folio_page(folio, 0) + slab ,...) // functions that were returning struct page ptr and now will return struct // slab ptr, including slab_page() wrapper removal @@ identifier fn =~ "allocate_slab|new_slab"; expression E; @@ static -struct slab * +struct slab * fn(...) { <... - slab_page(E) + E ...> } // rename any former struct page * declarations @@ @@ struct slab * ( - page + slab | - partial_page + partial_slab | - oldpage + oldslab ) ; // this has to be separate from previous rule as page and page2 appear at the // same line @@ @@ struct slab * -page2 +slab2 ; // similar but with initial assignment @@ expression E; @@ struct slab * ( - page + slab | - flush_page + flush_slab | - discard_page + slab_to_discard | - page_to_unfreeze + slab_to_unfreeze ) = E; // convert most of struct page to struct slab usage inside functions (with // exceptions), including specific variable renames @@ identifier fn !~ "nearest_obj|obj_to_index|objs_per_slab_page|__slab_(un)*lock|__free_slab|free_nonslab_page|kmalloc_large_node"; expression E; @@ fn(...) { <...
