2011-06-03slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirementChris Metcalf1-8/+4
On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled, the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly. In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

2011-05-25slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug modeChristoph Lameter1-1/+2
Commit 442b06bcea23 ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label 'unlock_out' then does it again. Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the 'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the debug case. So the tid update is useless. Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations. Also a pretty useless thing. So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

2011-05-21slub: Remove node check in slab_freeChristoph Lameter1-1/+3
We can set the page pointing in the percpu structure to NULL to have the same effect as setting c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE. Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for forcing the slab_free to the slowpath for debugging. We still need to set c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE to force the slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

2011-05-17slub: avoid label inside conditionalDavid Rientjes1-3/+3
Jumping to a label inside a conditional is considered poor style, especially considering the current organization of __slab_alloc(). This removes the 'load_from_page' label and just duplicates the three lines of code that it uses: c->node = page_to_nid(page); c->page = page; goto load_freelist; since it's probably not worth making this a separate helper function.

2011-05-07slub: Remove CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL ifdefferyChristoph Lameter1-56/+0
Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used everywhere. There may be performance implications since: A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced to a very short irqoff section. There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback case we only have to do one disable and enable like before. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
2011-05-04slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchgThomas Gleixner1-2/+2
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it actually needs the irq-safe one. That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b' instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation code. And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't work for SLUB. This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem. This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions to use 'bool' like they should. [ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reported-and-tested-by: werner <w.landgraf@ru.ru> Acked-and-tested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1105041539050.3005@ionos Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-03-24SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating itChristoph Lameter1-1/+1
It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot. Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu area before causes the mapping to be established before we get to a cmpxchg16b emulation.

2011-03-11Lockless (and preemptless) fastpaths for slubChristoph Lameter1-2/+203
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.

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. This can simply be removed by pushing the trace calls down into the functions in slub.c. On my x86_64 built this patch shrinks the code size of the kernel by approx 36K and also shrinks the code size of many modules -- too many to list here ;) size vmlinux (2.6.36) reports text data bss dec hex filename 5410611 743172 828928 6982711 6a8c37 vmlinux 5373738 744244 828928 6946910 6a005e vmlinux + patch The resulting kernel has had some testing & kmalloc trace still seems to work. This patch - moves trace_kmalloc out of the inlined kmalloc() and pushes it down into kmem_cache_alloc_trace() so this it only get instantiated once. - rename kmem_cache_alloc_notrace() to kmem_cache_alloc_trace() to indicate that now is does have tracing. (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>
2010-10-06SLUB: Fix memory hotplug with !NUMAPekka Enberg1-1/+1
This patch fixes the following build breakage when memory hotplug is enabled on UMA configurations: /home/test/linux-2.6/mm/slub.c: In function 'kmem_cache_init': /home/test/linux-2.6/mm/slub.c:3031:2: error: 'slab_memory_callback' undeclared (first use in this function) /home/test/linux-2.6/mm/slub.c:3031:2: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in make[2]: *** [mm/slub.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [mm] Error 2 make: *** [sub-make] Error 2 Reported-by: Zimny Lech <napohybelskurwysynom2010@gmail.com> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
2010-10-06slub: Move functions to reduce #ifdefsChristoph Lameter1-156/+141

2010-10-06slub: Enable sysfs support for !CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUGChristoph Lameter1-5/+35

2010-10-06SLUB: Optimize slab_free() debug checkPekka Enberg1-2/+2
This patch optimizes slab_free() debug check to use "c->node != NUMA_NO_NODE" instead of "c->node >= 0" because the former generates smaller code on x86-64: Before: 4736: 48 39 70 08 cmp %rsi,0x8(%rax) 473a: 75 26 jne 4762 <kfree+0xa2> 473c: 44 8b 48 10 mov 0x10(%rax),%r9d 4740: 45 85 c9 test %r9d,%r9d 4743: 78 1d js 4762 <kfree+0xa2> After: 4736: 48 39 70 08 cmp %rsi,0x8(%rax) 473a: 75 23 jne 475f <kfree+0x9f> 473c: 83 78 10 ff cmpl $0xffffffffffffffff,0x10(%rax) 4740: 74 1d je 475f <kfree+0x9f> This patch also cleans up __slab_alloc() to use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of "-1" for enabling debugging for a per-CPU cache.
