kernfs: remove KERNFS_STATIC_NAME

When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid
making a separate copy of its name.  It's currently only used for sysfs
attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged.
There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted
dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the
rodata section.

Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(),
there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around.  Remove it.

9 years agomm/util: add kstrdup_const
Andrzej Hajda [Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:36:24 +0000 (14:36 -0800)]
mm/util: add kstrdup_const

kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither
destination will be ever modified.  In such case we can just reuse the
source instead of duplicating it.  The problem is that we must be sure
that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough.

I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in
kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is
read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time.

This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup -
kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata
otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup.  To verify if the source is in
.rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels
__start_rodata, __end_rodata.  I guess it should work with all
architectures.

The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for
cases where situtation described above happens frequently.

I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it
saves 3272 string allocations.  Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64
bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about
100KB or 200KB of memory.

Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs:

By caller:
  2260 __kernfs_new_node
    631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8
    318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8
      51 kmem_cache_create
      12 alloc_vfsmnt

By string (with count >= 5):
    883 power
    876 subsystem
    135 parameters
    132 device
     61 iommu_group
    ...

This patch (of 5):

Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant
char array.  The function checks if input string is in persistent and
read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it
fallbacks to kstrdup.

kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory
deallocation of the string.

lib: crc32: constify crc32 lookup table

Commit 8f243af42ade ("sections: fix const sections for crc32 table")
removed the compile-time generated crc32 tables from the RO sections,
because it conflicts with the definition of __cacheline_aligned which
puts all such aligned data into .data..cacheline_aligned section
optimized for wasting less space, and can cause alignment issues when
used in combination with const with some gcc versions like 4.7.0 due to
a gcc bug [1].

Given that most gcc versions should have the fix by now, we can just use
____cacheline_aligned, which only aligns the data but doesn't move it
into specific sections as opposed to __cacheline_aligned.  In case of
gcc versions having the mentioned bug, the alignment attribute will have
no effect, but the data will still be made RO.

After patch tables are in RO:

Bare metal kernels should avoid reading the VTB as KVM does not restore

won't observe any stolen time.

detector.

Whilst these messages are harmless, they are accompanied with a stack
trace which causes undue concern and more problematically the stack trace
in the guest has nothing to do with the observed problem and can only be
misleading.

Futhermore, on POWER8 this is completely avoidable with the introduction
of the Virtual Time Base (VTB) register.

This patch (of 2):

This permits the use of arch specific clocks for which virtualised kernels
can use their notion of 'running' time, not the elpased wall time which
will include host execution time.

The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space.  The
anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack
uses normal 4k pages.  You can go over to smaps to figure out what the
page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize.  But, I think
this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands.

This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of
pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task.  This is
specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page
backed VMAs.

This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups
taken from the following dicussion threads:

zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request

Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used
zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram
meta freeing.

However, the init_lock is really troublesome.  We can't do call
zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because
zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as
read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock.
So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but
it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat
between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working
zsmalloc compaction.  :(

Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path.  This
patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta
lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context.
It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource
destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the
resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again.

As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.

zram: rework reset and destroy path

We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to
zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran.  Potentially, we can
race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths.

The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from
zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we
first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform
destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device().  This is done to
remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device
reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e.  disksize).

Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have
->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later
zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future.

So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path.

1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init()

2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into
   destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to
   destroy as its argument.

3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder
   operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and
   queue cleanup.  So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device().

4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock.

However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.

Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().

zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset.  There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:

-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true

So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store().  This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.

mm: fix negative nr_isolated counts

The vmstat interfaces are good at hiding negative counts (at least when
CONFIG_SMP); but if you peer behind the curtain, you find that
nr_isolated_anon and nr_isolated_file soon go negative, and grow ever
more negative: so they can absorb larger and larger numbers of isolated
pages, yet still appear to be zero.

I'm happy to avoid a congestion_wait() when too_many_isolated() myself;
but I guess it's there for a good reason, in which case we ought to get
too_many_isolated() working again.

The imbalance comes from isolate_migratepages()'s ISOLATE_ABORT case:
putback_movable_pages() decrements the NR_ISOLATED counts, but we forgot
to call acct_isolated() to increment them.

It is possible that the bug whcih this patch fixes could cause OOM kills
when the system still has a lot of reclaimable page cache.

This is problematic because no page flag is supposed to be set when

The root cause is that we call lru_add_drain_all() to make sure that the
page is in buddy, but that doesn't work because this function just
schedule= s a work item and doesn't wait its completion.

mm/compaction: stop the isolation when we isolate enough freepage

Currently, freepage isolation in one pageblock doesn't consider how many
freepages we isolate. When I traced flow of compaction, compaction
sometimes isolates more than 256 freepages to migrate just 32 pages.

In this patch, freepage isolation is stopped at the point that we
have more isolated freepage than isolated page for migration. This
results in slowing down free page scanner and make compaction success
rate higher.

stress-highalloc test in mmtests with non movable order 7 allocation shows
increase of compaction success rate.

Compaction success rate (Compaction success * 100 / Compaction stalls, %)
27.13 : 31.82

(separate test due to enormous tracepoint buffer)
(zone_start=4096, zone_end=1048576)
586034 : 654378

In fact, I didn't fully understand why this patch results in such good
result. There was a guess that not used freepages are released to pcp list
and on next compaction trial we won't isolate them again so compaction
success rate would decrease. To prevent this effect, I tested with adding
pcp drain code on release_freepages(), but, it has no good effect.

Anyway, this patch reduces waste time to isolate unneeded freepages so
seems reasonable.

Vlastimil said:

: I briefly tried it on top of the pivot-changing series and with order-9

9 years agoslub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:59:47 +0000 (14:59 -0800)]
slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately

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

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

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

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

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

9 years agoslub: fix kmem_cache_shrink return value
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:59:44 +0000 (14:59 -0800)]
slub: fix kmem_cache_shrink return value

It is supposed to return 0 if the cache has no remaining objects and 1
otherwise, while currently it always returns 0.  Fix it.

9 years agoslub: never fail to shrink cache
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:59:41 +0000 (14:59 -0800)]
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.

9 years agomemcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline
Vladimir Davydov [Thu, 12 Feb 2015 22:59:38 +0000 (14:59 -0800)]
memcg: reparent list_lrus and free kmemcg_id on css offline

Now, the only reason to keep kmemcg_id till css free is list_lru, which
uses it to distribute elements between per-memcg lists.  However, it can
be easily sorted out - we only need to change kmemcg_id of an offline
cgroup to its parent's id, making further list_lru_add()'s add elements to
the parent's list, and then move all elements from the offline cgroup's
list to the one of its parent.  It will work, because a racing
list_lru_del() does not need to know the list it is deleting the element
from.  It can decrement the wrong nr_items counter though, but the ongoing
reparenting will fix it.  After list_lru reparenting is done we are free
to release kmemcg_id saving a valuable slot in a per-memcg array for new
cgroups.
