423c929cbb mm/slab_common: commonize slab merge logic
Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation.  Now, it is only
applied to SLUB, but, it would be good to apply it to SLAB.  This patch is
preparation step to apply slab merge to SLAB by commonizing slab merge
logic.

07f361b2be mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header
We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size().  According to my code inspection,
this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
it.  Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
internal header.

After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
kernel build.  For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
full kernel build.

0bd62b1190 slab: delete cache from list after __kmem_cache_shutdown succeeds
Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
__kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
41a212859a ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
release the lock.  Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

073ee1c6cd memcg: get rid of memcg_create_cache_name
Instead of calling back to memcontrol.c from kmem_cache_create_memcg in
order to just create the name of a per memcg cache, let's allocate it in
place.  We only need to pass the memcg name to kmem_cache_create_memcg for
that - everything else can be done in slab_common.c.

bd67314586 memcg, slab: simplify synchronization scheme
At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
memcg kmem caches:

 - slab_mutex.  This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
   and destruction paths.  We also take it when updating per root cache
   memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches).  As a result, taking
   it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
   memcg).  Why do we need something else then?  The point is it is
   private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
   other mutexes (get_online_cpus).  So we just don't want to rely upon it
   and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.

 - activate_kmem_mutex.  Initially it was added to synchronize
   initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem).  However, since we can
   grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
   initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
   protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g.  see
   __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).

 - We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
   want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g.  for
   destroying all memcg caches on offline).  So we have per memcg
   slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.

The mutexes are taken in the following order:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex

Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:

 - We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
   memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order.  As a result, in
   mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
   memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.

 - We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
   between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
   destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).  Currently we just
   don't bother about it.

This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex.  It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists.  The locking
order is following:

   activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex

This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex.  As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.

Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g.  mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.

The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

03afc0e25f slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
for each online NUMA node.  To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.

To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug.  For
instance, in case of slub:

    CPU0                            CPU1
    ----                            ----
    kmem_cache_create:              online_pages:
     __kmem_cache_create:            slab_memory_callback:
                                      slab_mem_going_online_callback:
                                       lock slab_mutex
                                       for each slab_caches list entry
                                           allocate kmem_cache node
                                       unlock slab_mutex
      lock slab_mutex
      init_kmem_cache_nodes:
       for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
           allocate kmem_cache node
      add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
      unlock slab_mutex
                                    online_pages (continued):
                                     node_states_set_node

As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.

To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
deal with cpu hotplug.  This patch does the trick.

Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.

52383431b3 mm: get rid of __GFP_KMEMCG
Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator.  The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages.  Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path.  So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.

The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages.  They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

5dfb417509 sl[au]b: charge slabs to kmemcg explicitly
We have only a few places where we actually want to charge kmem so
instead of intruding into the general page allocation path with
__GFP_KMEMCG it's better to explictly charge kmem there.  All kmem
charges will be easier to follow that way.

This is a step towards removing __GFP_KMEMCG.  It removes __GFP_KMEMCG
from memcg caches' allocflags.  Instead it makes slab allocation path
call memcg_charge_kmem directly getting memcg to charge from the cache's
memcg params.

This also eliminates any possibility of misaccounting an allocation
going from one memcg's cache to another memcg, because now we always
charge slabs against the memcg the cache belongs to.  That's why this
patch removes the big comment to memcg_kmem_get_cache.

694617474e slab_common: fix the check for duplicate slab names
The patch 3e374919b3 is supposed to fix the
problem where kmem_cache_create incorrectly reports duplicate cache name
and fails. The problem is described in the header of that patch.

However, the patch doesn't really fix the problem because of these
reasons:

* the logic to test for debugging is reversed. It was intended to perform
  the check only if slub debugging is enabled (which implies that caches
  with the same parameters are not merged). Therefore, there should be
  #if !defined(CONFIG_SLUB) || defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)
  The current code has the condition reversed and performs the test if
  debugging is disabled.

* slub debugging may be enabled or disabled based on kernel command line,
  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is just the default settings. Therefore the test
  based on definition of CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is unreliable.

This patch fixes the problem by removing the test
"!defined(CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON)". Therefore, duplicate names are never
checked if the SLUB allocator is used.

Note to stable kernel maintainers: when backporint this patch, please
backport also the patch 3e374919b3.

b8529907ba memcg, slab: do not destroy children caches if parent has aliases
Currently we destroy children caches at the very beginning of
kmem_cache_destroy().  This is wrong, because the root cache will not
necessarily be destroyed in the end - if it has aliases (refcount > 0),
kmem_cache_destroy() will simply decrement its refcount and return.  In
this case, at best we will get a bunch of warnings in dmesg, like this
one:

  kmem_cache_destroy kmalloc-32:0: Slab cache still has objects
  CPU: 1 PID: 7139 Comm: modprobe Tainted: G    B   W    3.13.0+ #117

At worst - if kmem_cache_destroy() will race with an allocation from a
memcg cache - the kernel will panic.

This patch fixes this by moving children caches destruction after the
check if the cache has aliases.  Plus, it forbids destroying a root
cache if it still has children caches, because each children cache keeps
a reference to its parent.

051dd46050 memcg, slab: unregister cache from memcg before starting to destroy it
Currently, memcg_unregister_cache(), which deletes the cache being
destroyed from the memcg_slab_caches list, is called after
__kmem_cache_shutdown() (see kmem_cache_destroy()), which starts to
destroy the cache.

As a result, one can access a partially destroyed cache while traversing
a memcg_slab_caches list, which can have deadly consequences (for
instance, cache_show() called for each cache on a memcg_slab_caches list
from mem_cgroup_slabinfo_read() will dereference pointers to already
freed data).

To fix this, let's move memcg_unregister_cache() before the cache
destruction process beginning, issuing memcg_register_cache() on failure.

794b1248be memcg, slab: separate memcg vs root cache creation paths
Memcg-awareness turned kmem_cache_create() into a dirty interweaving of
memcg-only and except-for-memcg calls.  To clean this up, let's move the
code responsible for memcg cache creation to a separate function.

5722d094ad memcg, slab: cleanup memcg cache creation
This patch cleans up the memcg cache creation path as follows:

- Move memcg cache name creation to a separate function to be called
  from kmem_cache_create_memcg().  This allows us to get rid of the mutex
  protecting the temporary buffer used for the name formatting, because
  the whole cache creation path is protected by the slab_mutex.

- Get rid of memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This function serves as a proxy
  to kmem_cache_create_memcg().  After separating the cache name creation
  path, it would be reduced to a function call, so let's inline it.

a44cb94491 memcg, slab: never try to merge memcg caches
When a kmem cache is created (kmem_cache_create_memcg()), we first try to
find a compatible cache that already exists and can handle requests from
the new cache, i.e.  has the same object size, alignment, ctor, etc.  If
there is such a cache, we do not create any new caches, instead we simply
increment the refcount of the cache found and return it.

Currently we do this procedure not only when creating root caches, but
also for memcg caches.  However, there is no point in that, because, as
every memcg cache has exactly the same parameters as its parent and cache
merging cannot be turned off in runtime (only on boot by passing
"slub_nomerge"), the root caches of any two potentially mergeable memcg
caches should be merged already, i.e.  it must be the same root cache, and
therefore we couldn't even get to the memcg cache creation, because it
already exists.

The only exception is boot caches - they are explicitly forbidden to be
merged by setting their refcount to -1.  There are currently only two of
them - kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node, which are used in slab internals (I
do not count kmalloc caches as their refcount is set to 1 immediately
after creation).  Since they are prevented from merging preliminary I
guess we should avoid to merge their children too.

So let's remove the useless code responsible for merging memcg caches.

ba3253c78d slab: fix wrong retval on kmem_cache_create_memcg error path
On kmem_cache_create_memcg() error path we set 'err', but leave 's' (the
new cache ptr) undefined.  The latter can be NULL if we could not
allocate the cache, or pointing to a freed area if we failed somewhere
later while trying to initialize it.  Initially we checked 'err'
immediately before exiting the function and returned NULL if it was set
ignoring the value of 's':

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

Recently this check was, in fact, broken by commit f717eb3abb ("slab:
do not panic if we fail to create memcg cache"), which turned it to:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err && !memcg) {
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

As a result, if we are failing creating a cache for a memcg, we will
skip the check and return 's' that can contain crap.  Obviously, commit
f717eb3abb intended not to return crap on error allocating a cache for
a memcg, but only to remove the error reporting in this case, so the
check should look like this:

    out_unlock:
        ...
        if (err) {
            if (!memcg)
                return NULL;
            /* report error */
            return NULL;
        }
        return s;

2edefe1155 memcg, slab: fix races in per-memcg cache creation/destruction
We obtain a per-memcg cache from a root kmem_cache by dereferencing an
entry of the root cache's memcg_params::memcg_caches array.  If we find
no cache for a memcg there on allocation, we initiate the memcg cache
creation (see memcg_kmem_get_cache()).  The cache creation proceeds
asynchronously in memcg_create_kmem_cache() in order to avoid lock
clashes, so there can be several threads trying to create the same
kmem_cache concurrently, but only one of them may succeed.  However, due
to a race in the code, it is not always true.  The point is that the
memcg_caches array can be relocated when we activate kmem accounting for
a memcg (see memcg_update_all_caches(), memcg_update_cache_size()).  If
memcg_update_cache_size() and memcg_create_kmem_cache() proceed
concurrently as described below, we can leak a kmem_cache.

Asume two threads schedule creation of the same kmem_cache.  One of them
successfully creates it.  Another one should fail then, but if
memcg_create_kmem_cache() interleaves with memcg_update_cache_size() as
follows, it won't:

  memcg_create_kmem_cache()             memcg_update_cache_size()
  (called w/o mutexes held)             (called with slab_mutex,
                                         set_limit_mutex held)
  -------------------------             -------------------------

  mutex_lock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

                                        s->memcg_params=kzalloc(...)

  new_cachep=cache_from_memcg_idx(cachep,idx)
  // new_cachep==NULL => proceed to creation

                                        s->memcg_params->memcg_caches[i]
                                            =cur_params->memcg_caches[i]

  // kmem_cache_create_memcg takes slab_mutex
  // so we will hang around until
  // memcg_update_cache_size finishes, but
  // nothing will prevent it from succeeding so
  // memcg_caches[idx] will be overwritten in
  // memcg_register_cache!

  new_cachep = kmem_cache_create_memcg(...)
  mutex_unlock(&memcg_cache_mutex)

Let's fix this by moving the check for existence of the memcg cache to
kmem_cache_create_memcg() to be called under the slab_mutex and make it
return NULL if so.

A similar race is possible when destroying a memcg cache (see
kmem_cache_destroy()).  Since memcg_unregister_cache(), which clears the
pointer in the memcg_caches array, is called w/o protection, we can race
with memcg_update_cache_size() and omit clearing the pointer.  Therefore
memcg_unregister_cache() should be moved before we release the
slab_mutex.

1aa1325425 memcg, slab: clean up memcg cache initialization/destruction
Currently, we have rather a messy function set relating to per-memcg
kmem cache initialization/destruction.

Per-memcg caches are created in memcg_create_kmem_cache().  This
function calls kmem_cache_create_memcg() to allocate and initialize a
kmem cache and then "registers" the new cache in the
memcg_params::memcg_caches array of the parent cache.

During its work-flow, kmem_cache_create_memcg() executes the following
memcg-related functions:

 - memcg_alloc_cache_params(), to initialize memcg_params of the newly
   created cache;
 - memcg_cache_list_add(), to add the new cache to the memcg_slab_caches
   list.

On the other hand, kmem_cache_destroy() called on a cache destruction
only calls memcg_release_cache(), which does all the work: it cleans the
reference to the cache in its parent's memcg_params::memcg_caches,
removes the cache from the memcg_slab_caches list, and frees
memcg_params.

Such an inconsistency between destruction and initialization paths make
the code difficult to read, so let's clean this up a bit.

This patch moves all the code relating to registration of per-memcg
caches (adding to memcg list, setting the pointer to a cache from its
parent) to the newly created memcg_register_cache() and
memcg_unregister_cache() functions making the initialization and
destruction paths look symmetrical.

3965fc3652 slab: clean up kmem_cache_create_memcg() error handling
Currently kmem_cache_create_memcg() backoffs on failure inside
conditionals, without using gotos.  This results in the rollback code
duplication, which makes the function look cumbersome even though on
error we should only free the allocated cache.  Since in the next patch
I am going to add yet another rollback function call on error path
there, let's employ labels instead of conditionals for undoing any
changes on failure to keep things clean.

3e374919b3 slab_common: Do not check for duplicate slab names
SLUB can alias multiple slab kmem_create_requests to one slab cache to save
memory and increase the cache hotness. As a result the name of the slab can be
stale. Only check the name for duplicates if we are in debug mode where we do
not merge multiple caches.

This fixes the following problem reported by Jonathan Brassow:

  The problem with kmem_cache* is this:

  *) Assume CONFIG_SLUB is set
  1) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
  - creates new kmem_cache structure
  2) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-b")
  - If identical cache characteristics, it will be merged with the previously
    created cache associated with "foo-a".  The cache's refcount will be
    incremented and an alias will be created via sysfs_slab_alias().
  3) kmem_cache_destroy(<ptr>)
  - Attempting to destroy cache associated with "foo-a", but instead the
    refcount is simply decremented.  I don't even think the sysfs aliases are
    ever removed...
  4) kmem_cache_create(name="foo-a")
  - This FAILS because kmem_cache_sanity_check colides with the existing
    name ("foo-a") associated with the non-removed cache.

  This is a problem for RAID (specifically dm-raid) because the name used
  for the kmem_cache_create is ("raid%d-%p", level, mddev).  If the cache
  persists for long enough, the memory address of an old mddev will be
  reused for a new mddev - causing an identical formulation of the cache
  name.  Even though kmem_cache_destory had long ago been used to delete
  the old cache, the merging of caches has cause the name and cache of that
  old instance to be preserved and causes a colision (and thus failure) in
  kmem_cache_create().  I see this regularly in my testing.

As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.

kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but

if the __GFP_NOWARN flag is _not_ set to expose kernel bugs.

956e46efb2 mm/slab: Fix crash during slab init
Commit 8a965b3baa ("mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc
caches") introduced a regression that caused us to crash early during
boot.  The commit was introducing ordering of slab creation, making sure
two odd-sized slabs were created after specific powers of two sizes.

But, if any of the power of two slabs were created earlier during boot,
slabs at index 1 or 2 might not get created at all.  This patch makes
sure none of the slabs get skipped.

Tony Lindgren bisected this down to the offending commit, which really
helped because bisect kept bringing me to almost but not quite this one.

8a965b3baa mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc caches
For SLAB the kmalloc caches must be created in ascending sizes in order
for the OFF_SLAB sub-slab cache to work properly.

Create the non power of two caches immediately after the prior power of
two kmalloc cache. Do not create the non power of two caches before all
other caches.

6286ae97d1 slab: Return NULL for oversized allocations
The inline path seems to have changed the SLAB behavior for very large
kmalloc allocations with  commit e3366016 ("slab: Use common
kmalloc_index/kmalloc_size functions"). This patch restores the old
behavior but also adds diagnostics so that we can figure where in the
code these large allocations occur.

b1e0541674 mm/sl[au]b: correct allocation type check in kmalloc_slab()
commit "slab: Common Kmalloc cache determination" made mistake
in kmalloc_slab(). SLAB_CACHE_DMA is for kmem_cache creation,
not for allocation. For allocation, we should use GFP_XXX to identify
type of allocation. So, change SLAB_CACHE_DMA to GFP_DMA.

943a451a87 slab: propagate tunable values
SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables.  When
creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
parent cache already had.

This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created.  But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.

Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization.  We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.

It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation.  In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.

This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier.  We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

749c54151a memcg: aggregate memcg cache values in slabinfo
When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage
information somewhere.  We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo,
with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information
stored in the group itself.

For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache.

55007d8497 memcg: allocate memory for memcg caches whenever a new memcg appears
Every cache that is considered a root cache (basically the "original"
caches, tied to the root memcg/no-memcg) will have an array that should be
large enough to store a cache pointer per each memcg in the system.

Theoreticaly, this is as high as 1 << sizeof(css_id), which is currently
in the 64k pointers range.  Most of the time, we won't be using that much.

What goes in this patch, is a simple scheme to dynamically allocate such
an array, in order to minimize memory usage for memcg caches.  Because we
would also like to avoid allocations all the time, at least for now, the
array will only grow.  It will tend to be big enough to hold the maximum
number of kmem-limited memcgs ever achieved.

We'll allocate it to be a minimum of 64 kmem-limited memcgs.  When we have
more than that, we'll start doubling the size of this array every time the
limit is reached.

Because we are only considering kmem limited memcgs, a natural point for
this to happen is when we write to the limit.  At that point, we already
have set_limit_mutex held, so that will become our natural synchronization
mechanism.

2633d7a028 slab/slub: consider a memcg parameter in kmem_create_cache
Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation.  When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg.  We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache

Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version.  We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.

A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs.  Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.
