mm/slab: fix unexpected index mapping result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE+1)
Commit description is copied from the original post of this bug:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/135349
Kernels after v3.9 use kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) to get the next
larger cache size than the size index INDEX_NODE mapping. In kernels
3.9 and earlier we used malloc_sizes[INDEX_L3 + 1].cs_size.
However, sometimes we can't get the right output we expected via
kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1), causing a BUG().
The mapping table in the latest kernel is like:
index = {0, 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, n}
size = {0, 96, 192, 8, 16, 32, 64, 2^n}
The mapping table before 3.10 is like this:
index = {0 , 1 , 2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, n}
size = {32, 64, 96, 128, 192, 256, 512, 2^(n+3)}
The problem on my mips64 machine is as follows:
(1) When configured DEBUG_SLAB && DEBUG_PAGEALLOC && DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
&& DEBUG_SPINLOCK, the sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node) will be "150",
and the macro INDEX_NODE turns out to be "2": #define INDEX_NODE
kmalloc_index(sizeof(struct kmem_cache_node))
(2) Then the result of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) is 8.
(3) Then "if(size >= kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1)" will lead to "size
= PAGE_SIZE".
(4) Then "if ((size >= (PAGE_SIZE >> 3))" test will be satisfied and
"flags |= CFLGS_OFF_SLAB" will be covered.
(5) if (flags & CFLGS_OFF_SLAB)" test will be satisfied and will go to
"cachep->slabp_cache = kmalloc_slab(slab_size, 0u)", and the result
here may be NULL while kernel bootup.
(6) Finally,"BUG_ON(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(cachep->slabp_cache));" causes the
BUG info as the following shows (may be only mips64 has this problem):
This patch fixes the problem of kmalloc_size(INDEX_NODE + 1) and removes
the BUG by adding 'size >= 256' check to guarantee that all necessary
small sized slabs are initialized regardless sequence of slab size in
mapping table.
