2014-04-11mm: slab/slub: use page->list consistently instead of page->lruDave Hansen1-2/+2
'struct page' has two list_head fields: 'lru' and 'list'. Conveniently, they are unioned together. This means that code can use them interchangably, which gets horribly confusing like with this nugget from slab.c: > list_del(&page->lru); > if (page->active == cachep->num) > list_add(&page->list, &n->slabs_full); This patch makes the slab and slub code use page->lru universally instead of mixing ->list and ->lru. So, the new rule is: page->lru is what the you use if you want to keep your page on a list. Don't like the fact that it's not called ->list? Too bad.

2014-04-03mm: optimize put_mems_allowed() usageMel Gorman1-2/+2
Since put_mems_allowed() is strictly optional, its a seqcount retry, we don't need to evaluate the function if the allocation was in fact successful, saving a smp_rmb some loads and comparisons on some relative fast-paths. Since the naming, get/put_mems_allowed() does suggest a mandatory pairing, rename the interface, as suggested by Mel, to resemble the seqcount interface. This gives us: read_mems_allowed_begin() and read_mems_allowed_retry(), where it is important to note that the return value of the latter call is inverted from its previous incarnation.

2014-02-08slab: make more slab management structure off the slabJoonsoo Kim1-1/+1
Now, the size of the freelist for the slab management diminish, so that the on-slab management structure can waste large space if the object of the slab is large. Consider a 128 byte sized slab. If on-slab is used, 31 objects can be in the slab. The size of the freelist for this case would be 31 bytes so that 97 bytes, that is, more than 75% of object size, are wasted. In a 64 byte sized slab case, no space is wasted if we use on-slab. So set off-slab determining constraint to 128 bytes.

2014-02-08slab: introduce byte sized index for the freelist of a slabJoonsoo Kim1-9/+9
Currently, the freelist of a slab consist of unsigned int sized indexes. Since most of slabs have less number of objects than 256, large sized indexes is needless. For example, consider the minimum kmalloc slab. It's object size is 32 byte and it would consist of one page, so 256 indexes through byte sized index are enough to contain all possible indexes. There can be some slabs whose object size is 8 byte. We cannot handle this case with byte sized index, so we need to restrict minimum object size. Since these slabs are not major, wasted memory from these slabs would be negligible. Some architectures' page size isn't 4096 bytes and rather larger than 4096 bytes (One example is 64KB page size on PPC or IA64) so that byte sized index doesn't fit to them. In this case, we will use two bytes sized index. Below is some number for this patch. * Before * kmalloc-512 525 640 512 8 1 : tunables 54 27 0 : slabdata 80 80 0 kmalloc-256 210 210 256 15 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 14 14 0 kmalloc-192 1016 1040 192 20 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 52 52 0 kmalloc-96 560 620 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 20 20 0 kmalloc-64 2148 2280 64 60 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 38 38 0 kmalloc-128 647 682 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 22 22 0 kmalloc-32 11360 11413 32 113 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 101 101 0 kmem_cache 197 200 192 20 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 10 10 0 * After * kmalloc-512 521 648 512 8 1 : tunables 54 27 0 : slabdata 81 81 0 kmalloc-256 208 208 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 13 13 0 kmalloc-192 1029 1029 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 49 49 0 kmalloc-96 529 589 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 19 19 0 kmalloc-64 2142 2142 64 63 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 34 34 0 kmalloc-128 660 682 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 22 22 0 kmalloc-32 11716 11780 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 95 95 0 kmem_cache 197 210 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 10 10 0 kmem_caches consisting of objects less than or equal to 256 byte have one or more objects than before.

2014-02-08slab: restrict the number of objects in a slabJoonsoo Kim1-0/+21
To prepare to implement byte sized index for managing the freelist of a slab, we should restrict the number of objects in a slab to be less or equal to 256, since byte only represent 256 different values. Setting the size of object to value equal or more than newly introduced SLAB_OBJ_MIN_SIZE ensures that the number of objects in a slab is less or equal to 256 for a slab with 1 page. If page size is rather larger than 4096, above assumption would be wrong. In this case, we would fall back on 2 bytes sized index. If minimum size of kmalloc is less than 16, we use it as minimum object size and give up this optimization.

2013-10-24slab: change the management method of free objects of the slabJoonsoo Kim1-64/+30
Current free objects management method of the slab is weird, because it touch random position of the array of kmem_bufctl_t when we try to get free object. See following example. struct slab's free = 6 kmem_bufctl_t array: 1 END 5 7 0 4 3 2 To get free objects, we access this array with following pattern. 6 -> 3 -> 7 -> 2 -> 5 -> 4 -> 0 -> 1 -> END If we have many objects, this array would be larger and be not in the same cache line. It is not good for performance. We can do same thing through more easy way, like as the stack. Only thing we have to do is to maintain stack top to free object. I use free field of struct slab for this purpose. After that, if we need to get an object, we can get it at stack top and manipulate top pointer. That's all. This method already used in array_cache management. Following is an access pattern when we use this method. struct slab's free = 0 kmem_bufctl_t array: 6 3 7 2 5 4 0 1 To get free objects, we access this array with following pattern. 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7 This may help cache line footprint if slab has many objects, and, in addition, this makes code much much simpler.

2013-07-14kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel filesPaul Gortmaker1-5/+5
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux Pull slab update from Pekka Enberg: "Highlights: - Fix for boot-time problems on some architectures due to init_lock_keys() not respecting kmalloc_caches boundaries (Christoph Lameter) - CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL requested by RT folks (Joonsoo Kim) - Fix for excessive slab freelist draining (Wanpeng Li) - SLUB and SLOB cleanups and fixes (various people)" I ended up editing the branch, and this avoids two commits at the end that were immediately reverted, and I instead just applied the oneliner fix in between myself. * 'slab/for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux slub: Check for page NULL before doing the node_match check mm/slab: Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names slob: Check for NULL pointer before calling ctor() slub: Make cpu partial slab support configurable slab: add kmalloc() to kernel API documentation slab: fix init_lock_keys slob: use DIV_ROUND_UP where possible slub: do not put a slab to cpu partial list when cpu_partial is 0 mm/slub: Use node_nr_slabs and node_nr_objs in get_slabinfo mm/slub: Drop unnecessary nr_partials mm/slab: Fix /proc/slabinfo unwriteable for slab mm/slab: Sharing s_next and s_stop between slab and slub mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessively slob: Rework #ifdeffery in slab.h mm, slab: moved kmem_cache_alloc_node comment to correct place
2013-07-08mm/slab: Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific namesWanpeng Li1-2/+2
Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names instead of exporting "s_next" and "s_stop". Signed-off-by: Wanpeng Li <liwanp@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
2013-07-07slab: fix init_lock_keysChristoph Lameter1-1/+1
Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26. In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26]. This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB) if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL. Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.

2013-07-07mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessivelyWanpeng Li1-3/+9
The drain_freelist is called to drain slabs_free lists for cache reap, cache shrink, memory hotplug callback etc. The tofree parameter should be the number of slab to free instead of the number of slab objects to free. This patch fix the callers that pass # of objects. Make sure they pass # of slabs.

2013-05-01mm: slab: Verify the nodeid passed to ____cache_alloc_nodeAaron Tomlin1-0/+1
If the nodeid is > num_online_nodes() this can cause an Oops and a panic(). The purpose of this patch is to assert if this condition is true to aid debugging efforts rather than some random NULL pointer dereference or page fault. This patch is in response to BZ#42967 [1]. Using VM_BUG_ON so it's used only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, given that ____cache_alloc_node() is a hot code path.
