2012-09-25mm, slob: Add support for kmalloc_track_caller()Ezequiel Garcia
Currently slob falls back to regular kmalloc for this case. With this patch kmalloc_track_caller() is correctly implemented, thus tracing the specified caller. This is important to trace accurately allocations performed by krealloc, kstrdup, kmemdup, etc. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

2012-09-05mm/sl[aou]b: Get rid of __kmem_cache_destroyChristoph Lameter
What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown. This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure. Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred free to the page allocator occurs.

2012-07-09mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create()Christoph Lameter
Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

2012-06-14mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cacheChristoph Lameter
Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

On boot up, interrupts are disabled and lockdep will warn if some flags are set in gfp and interrupts are disabled. But these flags are masked off with the gfp_allowed_mask during boot. Because SLOB does not mask the flags against gfp_allowed_mask it triggers the warn on. Adding this mask fixes the bug. I also found that kmem_cache_alloc_node() was missing both the mask and the lockdep check, and that was added too.

Don't hold SLOB lock when freeing the page. Reduces lock hold width.

2009-02-14lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS)Nick Piggin
Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too). Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer to merge worthy ;) -- After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep. I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's interrupt contexts). I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes. It *seems* to work. I did a quick test. ================================= [ INFO: inconsistent lock state ] 2.6.28-rc6-00007-ged31348-dirty #26 --------------------------------- inconsistent {in-reclaim-W} -> {ov-reclaim-W} usage. modprobe/8526 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE1:SE1] takes: (testlock){--..}, at: [<ffffffffa0020055>] brd_init+0x55/0x216 [brd] {in-reclaim-W} state was registered at: [<ffffffff80267bdb>] __lock_acquire+0x75b/0x1a60 [<ffffffff80268f71>] lock_acquire+0x91/0xc0 [<ffffffff8070f0e1>] mutex_lock_nested+0xb1/0x310 [<ffffffffa002002b>] brd_init+0x2b/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff8020903b>] _stext+0x3b/0x170 [<ffffffff80272ebf>] sys_init_module+0xaf/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8020c3fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff irq event stamp: 3929 hardirqs last enabled at (3929): [<ffffffff8070f2b5>] mutex_lock_nested+0x285/0x310 hardirqs last disabled at (3928): [<ffffffff8070f089>] mutex_lock_nested+0x59/0x310 softirqs last enabled at (3732): [<ffffffff8061f623>] sk_filter+0x83/0xe0 softirqs last disabled at (3730): [<ffffffff8061f5b6>] sk_filter+0x16/0xe0 other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by modprobe/8526: #0: (testlock){--..}, at: [<ffffffffa0020055>] brd_init+0x55/0x216 [brd] stack backtrace: Pid: 8526, comm: modprobe Not tainted 2.6.28-rc6-00007-ged31348-dirty #26 Call Trace: [<ffffffff80265483>] print_usage_bug+0x193/0x1d0 [<ffffffff80266530>] mark_lock+0xaf0/0xca0 [<ffffffff80266735>] mark_held_locks+0x55/0xc0 [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff802667ca>] trace_reclaim_fs+0x2a/0x60 [<ffffffff80285005>] __alloc_pages_internal+0x475/0x580 [<ffffffff8070f29e>] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x26e/0x310 [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffffa002006a>] brd_init+0x6a/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffffa0020000>] ? brd_init+0x0/0x216 [brd] [<ffffffff8020903b>] _stext+0x3b/0x170 [<ffffffff8070f8b9>] ? mutex_unlock+0x9/0x10 [<ffffffff8070f83d>] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x10d/0x180 [<ffffffff802669ec>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x12c/0x190 [<ffffffff80272ebf>] sys_init_module+0xaf/0x1e0 [<ffffffff8020c3fb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
