Slab lacks any memory hotplug support for nodes that are hotplugged
without cpus being hotplugged. This is possible at least on x86
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_SPARSE kernels where SRAT entries are marked
ACPI_SRAT_MEM_HOT_PLUGGABLE and the regions of RAM represent a seperate
node. It can also be done manually by writing the start address to
/sys/devices/system/memory/probe for kernels that have
CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE set, which is how this patch was tested, and
then onlining the new memory region.
When a node is hotadded, a nodelist for that node is allocated and
initialized for each slab cache. If this isn't completed due to a lack
of memory, the hotadd is aborted: we have a reasonable expectation that
kmalloc_node(nid) will work for all caches if nid is online and memory is
available.
Since nodelists must be allocated and initialized prior to the new node's
memory actually being online, the struct kmem_list3 is allocated off-node
due to kmalloc_node()'s fallback.
When an entire node would be offlined, its nodelists are subsequently
drained. If slab objects still exist and cannot be freed, the offline is
aborted. It is possible that objects will be allocated between this
drain and page isolation, so it's still possible that the offline will
still fail, however.

This patch allow to inject faults only for specific slabs.
In order to preserve default behavior cache filter is off by
default (all caches are faulty).
One may define specific set of slabs like this:
# mark skbuff_head_cache as faulty
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/slab/skbuff_head_cache/failslab
# Turn on cache filter (off by default)
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/failslab/cache-filter
# Turn on fault injection

When factoring common code into transfer_objects in commit 3ded175 ("slab: add
transfer_objects() function"), the 'touched' logic got a bit broken. When
refilling from the shared array (taking objects from the shared array), we are
making use of the shared array so it should be marked as touched.
Subsequently pulling an element from the cpu array and allocating it should
also touch the cpu array, but that is taken care of after the alloc_done label.
(So yes, the cpu array was getting touched = 1 twice).
So revert this logic to how it worked in earlier kernels.
This also affects the behaviour in __drain_alien_cache, which would previously
'touch' the shared array and now does not. I think it is more logical not to
touch there, because we are pushing objects into the shared array rather than
pulling them off. So there is no good reason to postpone reaping them -- if the
shared array is getting utilized, then it will get 'touched' in the alloc path
(where this patch now restores the touch).

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.
Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
even then you'll be missing some.
For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
using that to do the test.
Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get
rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to
kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some
changes to allocator boostrap code.
Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps
before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar:

A generic page poisoning mechanism was added with commit:
6a11f75b6a
which destructively poisons full pages with a bitpattern.
On arches where PAGE_POISONING is used, this conflicts with the slab
redzone checking enabled by DEBUG_SLAB, scribbling bits all over its
magic words and making it complain about that quite emphatically.
On x86 (and I presume at present all the other arches which set
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC too), the kernel_map_pages() operation
is non destructive so it can coexist with the other DEBUG_SLAB
mechanisms just fine.
This patch favours the expensive full page destruction test for
cases where there is a collision and it is explicitly selected.

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.

Commit 6cb062296f ("Categorize GFP flags")
left one call-site in alloc_slabmgmt() to clear GFP_THISNODE instead of
GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. Unfortunately, that ends up clearing __GFP_NOWARN
and __GFP_NORETRY as well which is not what we want. As the only caller
of alloc_slabmgmt() already clears GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK before passing
local_flags to it, we can just remove the clearing of GFP_THISNODE.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:
1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects
Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.
While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.
The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.
Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.
The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.
Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.
The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.
The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list
Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.
The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).
The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.
The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly
as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As
the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx
could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
used.
This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
well as the node index.

Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones
allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these
zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The
first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The
second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
allocations.
An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

Introduce a node_zonelist() helper function. It is used to lookup the
appropriate zonelist given a node and a GFP mask. The patch on its own is a
cleanup but it helps clarify parts of the two-zonelist-per-node patchset. If
necessary, it can be merged with the next patch in this set without problems.

NUMA slab allocator cpu migration bugfix
The NUMA slab allocator (specifically, cache_alloc_refill)
is not refreshing its local copies of what cpu and what
numa node it is on, when it drops and reacquires the irq
block that it inherited from its caller. As a result
those values become invalid if an attempt to migrate the
process to another numa node occured while the irq block
had been dropped.
The solution is to make cache_alloc_refill reload these
variables whenever it drops and reacquires the irq block.
The error is very difficult to hit. When it does occur,
one gets the following oops + stack traceback bits in
check_spinlock_acquired:
kernel BUG at mm/slab.c:2417
cache_alloc_refill+0xe6
kmem_cache_alloc+0xd0
...
This patch was developed against 2.6.23, ported to and

If the node we're booting on doesn't have memory, bootstrapping kmalloc()
caches resorts to fallback_alloc() which requires ->nodelists set for all
nodes. Fix that by calling set_up_list3s() for CACHE_CACHE in
kmem_cache_init().
As kmem_getpages() is called with GFP_THISNODE set, this used to work before
because of breakage in 2.6.22 and before with GFP_THISNODE returning pages from
the wrong node if a node had no memory. So it may have worked accidentally and
in an unsafe manner because the pages would have been associated with the wrong
node which could trigger bug ons and locking troubles.

Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for
/proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's.
This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB
and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some
day too.

The database performance group have found that half the cycles spent
in kmem_cache_free are spent in this one call to BUG_ON. Moving it
into the CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG-only function cache_free_debugcheck() is a
performance win of almost 0.5% on their particular benchmark.
The call was added as part of commit ddc2e812d5
with the comment that "overhead should be minimal". It may have been
minimal at the time, but it isn't now.
[ Quoth Pekka Enberg: "I don't think the BUG_ON per se caused the
performance regression but rather the virt_to_head_page() changes to
virt_to_cache() that were added later." ]
