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.

Commit 442b06bcea ("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.

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.

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.

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 ]

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.

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.
(For that see the more complex slub patches that require cmpxchg_double)

The purpose of the locking is to prevent removal and additions
of nodes when statistics are gathered for a slab cache. So we
need to avoid racing with memory hotplug functionality.
It is enough to take the memory hotplug locks there instead
of the slub_lock.
online_pages() currently does not acquire the memory_hotplug
lock. Another patch will be submitted by the memory hotplug
authors to take the memory hotplug lock and describe the
uses of the memory hotplug lock to protect against

Having the trace calls defined in the always inlined kmalloc functions

trace functions get instantiated for each kamalloc call site. This can
simply be removed by pushing the trace calls down into the functions in

This patch

- 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

- move tracing out of inlined kmalloc_node() and pushing it down into

As explained by Linus "I'm Proud to be an American" Torvalds:
Looking at the merging code, I actually think it's totally
buggy. If you have something like this:
- load module A: create slab cache A
- load module B: create slab cache B that can merge with A
- unload module A
- "cat /proc/slabinfo": BOOM. Oops.
exactly because the name is not handled correctly, and you'll have
module B holding open a slab cache that has a name pointer that points
to module A that no longer exists.
This patch fixes the problem by using kstrdup() to allocate dynamic memory for
->name of "struct kmem_cache" as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by

The network developers have seen sporadic allocations resulting in objects
coming from unexpected NUMA nodes despite asking for objects from a
specific node.
This is due to get_partial() calling get_any_partial() if partial
slabs are exhausted for a node even if a node was specified and therefore
one would expect allocations only from the specified node.
get_any_partial() sporadically may return a slab from a foreign
node to gradually reduce the size of partial lists on remote nodes
and thereby reduce total memory use for a slab cache.
The behavior is controlled by the remote_defrag_ratio of each cache.
Strictly speaking this is permitted behavior since __GFP_THISNODE was
not specified for the allocation but it is certain surprising.
This patch makes sure that the remote defrag behavior only occurs
if no node was specified.

SLUB: Allow full duplication of kmalloc array for 390
slub: move kmem_cache_node into it's own cacheline
Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later. But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.
The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:
(mpol: mempolicy)
task1 task1's mpol task2
alloc page 1
alloc on node0? NO 1
1 change mems from 1 to 0
1 rebind task1's mpol
0-1 set new bits
0 clear disallowed bits
alloc on node1? NO 0
...
can't alloc page
goto oom
This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits). So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local

This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.
On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average. I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

Remove the fields in struct kmem_cache_cpu that were used to cache data from
struct kmem_cache when they were in different cachelines. The cacheline that
holds the per cpu array pointer now also holds these values. We can cut down
the struct kmem_cache_cpu size to almost half.
The get_freepointer() and set_freepointer() functions that used to be only
intended for the slow path now are also useful for the hot path since access
to the size field does not require accessing an additional cacheline anymore.
This results in consistent use of functions for setting the freepointer of
objects throughout SLUB.
Also we initialize all possible kmem_cache_cpu structures when a slab is
created. No need to initialize them when a processor or node comes online.

Using per cpu allocations removes the needs for the per cpu arrays in the
kmem_cache struct. These could get quite big if we have to support systems
with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in:
1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only
need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all
processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator.
2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the
system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially
support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus.
3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of
kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu
alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug
functionality.
4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and
address calculations are avoided.

The unlikely() annotation in slab_alloc() covers too much of the expression.
It's actually very likely that the object is not NULL so use unlikely() only
for the __GFP_ZERO expression like SLAB does.

When collecting slub stats for particular workloads, it's necessary to
collect each statistic for all caches before the job is even started
because the counters are usually greater than zero just from boot and
initialization.
This allows a statistic to be cleared on each cpu by writing '0' to its
sysfs file. This creates a baseline for statistics of interest before
the workload is started.
Setting a statistic to a particular value is not supported, so all values
written to these files other than '0' returns -EINVAL.

This patch moves the masking of debugging flags which increase a cache's
min order due to metadata when `slub_debug=O' is used from
kmem_cache_flags() to kmem_cache_open().
Instead of defining the maximum metadata size increase in a preprocessor
macro, this approach uses the cache's ->size and ->objsize members to
determine if the min order increased due to debugging options. If so,
the flags specified in the more appropriately named DEBUG_METADATA_FLAGS
are masked off.
This approach was suggested by Christoph Lameter
<cl@linux-foundation.org>.

When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.
Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options. The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.
Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.
This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:
slub_debug=O
When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.

3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len];
Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters

num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the

This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the

number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

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.

kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some
