Merge my series [1] to deprecate the SLOB allocator.
- Renames CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED with deprecation notice.
- The recommended replacement is CONFIG_SLUB, optionally with the new
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY tweaks for systems with 16MB or less RAM.
- Use cases that stopped working with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY instead of SLOB
should be reported to linux-mm@kvack.org and slab maintainers,
otherwise SLOB will be removed in few cycles.

SLUB gets most of its scalability by percpu slabs. However for
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY the goal is minimal memory overhead, not scalability.
Thus, #ifdef out the whole kmem_cache_cpu percpu structure and
associated code. Additionally to the slab page savings, this reduces
percpu allocator usage, and code size.
This change builds on recent commit c7323a5ad0 ("mm/slub: restrict
sysfs validation to debug caches and make it safe"), as caches with
enabled debugging also avoid percpu slabs and all allocations and
freeing ends up working with the partial list. With a bit more
refactoring by the preceding patches, use the same code paths with
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

In the following patch we want to introduce CONFIG_SLUB_TINY allocation
paths that don't use the percpu slab. To prepare, refactor the
allocation functions:
Split out __slab_alloc_node() from slab_alloc_node() where the former
does the actual allocation and the latter calls the pre/post hooks.
Analogically, split out __kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() from
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk().

Since commit c7323a5ad0 ("mm/slub: restrict sysfs validation to debug
caches and make it safe"), caches with debugging enabled use the
free_debug_processing() function to do both freeing checks and actual
freeing to partial list under list_lock, bypassing the fast paths.
We will want to use the same path for CONFIG_SLUB_TINY, but without the
debugging checks, so refactor the code so that free_debug_processing()
does only the checks, while the freeing is handled by a new function
free_to_partial_list().
For consistency, change return parameter alloc_debug_processing() from
int to bool and correct the !SLUB_DEBUG variant to return true and not
false. This didn't matter until now, but will in the following changes.

With CONFIG_SLUB_TINY we want to minimize memory overhead. By lowering
the default slub_max_order we can make slab allocations use smaller
pages. However depending on object sizes, order-0 might not be the best
due to increased fragmentation. When testing on a 8MB RAM k210 system by
Damien Le Moal [1], slub_max_order=1 had the best results, so use that
as the default for CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY not enabled, there are no
__check_heap_object() checks happening that would use the struct
kmem_cache useroffset and usersize fields. Yet the fields are still
initialized, preventing merging of otherwise compatible caches.
Also the fields contribute to struct kmem_cache size unnecessarily when
unused. Thus #ifdef them out completely when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is
disabled. In kmem_dump_obj() print object_size instead of usersize, as
that's actually the intention.
In a quick virtme boot test, this has reduced the number of caches in
/proc/slabinfo from 131 to 111.

kmalloc() redzone improvements by Feng Tang
From cover letter [1]:
kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, and one of its nature is that
it will round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2).
When user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes
could be allocated, so there is an extra space than what is originally
requested.
This patchset tries to extend the redzone sanity check to the extra
kmalloced buffer than requested, to better detect un-legitimate access
to it. (depends on SLAB_STORE_USER & SLAB_RED_ZONE)
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221021032405.1825078-1-feng.tang@intel.com/
A series by myself to reorder fields in struct slab to allow the
embedded rcu_head to grow (for debugging purposes). Requires changes to
isolate_movable_page() to skip slab pages which can otherwise become
false-positive __PageMovable due to its use of low bits in
page->mapping.
- Two patches for SLUB's sysfs by Rasmus Villemoes to remove dead code
and optimize boot time with late initialization.
- Allow SLUB's sysfs 'failslab' parameter to be runtime-controllable
again as it can be both useful and safe, by Alexander Atanasov.
In the next commit we want to rearrange struct slab fields to allow a larger
rcu_head. Afterwards, the page->mapping field will overlap with SLUB's "struct
list_head slab_list", where the value of prev pointer can become LIST_POISON2,
which is 0x122 + POISON_POINTER_DELTA. Unfortunately the bit 1 being set can
confuse PageMovable() to be a false positive and cause a GPF as reported by lkp
[1].
To fix this, make isolate_movable_page() skip pages with the PageSlab flag set.
This is a bit tricky as we need to add memory barriers to SLAB and SLUB's page
allocation and freeing, and their counterparts to isolate_movable_page().
Based on my RFC from [2]. Added a comment update from Matthew's variant in [3]
and, as done there, moved the PageSlab checks to happen before trying to take
the page lock.

kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size (mostly power
of 2), so there could be a extra space than what is requested, whose
size is the actual buffer size minus original request size.
To better detect out of bound access or abuse of this space, add
redzone sanity check for it.
In current kernel, some kmalloc user already knows the existence of
the space and utilizes it after calling 'ksize()' to know the real
size of the allocated buffer. So we skip the sanity check for objects
which have been called with ksize(), as treating them as legitimate
users. Kees Cook is working on sanitizing all these user cases,
by using kmalloc_size_roundup() to avoid ambiguous usages. And after
this is done, this special handling for ksize() can be removed.
In some cases, the free pointer could be saved inside the latter
part of object data area, which may overlap the redzone part(for
small sizes of kmalloc objects). As suggested by Hyeonggon Yoo,
force the free pointer to be in meta data area when kmalloc redzone
debug is enabled, to make all kmalloc objects covered by redzone
check.

When kasan is enabled for slab/slub, it may save kasan' free_meta
data in the former part of slab object data area in slab object's
free path, which works fine.
There is ongoing effort to extend slub's debug function which will
redzone the latter part of kmalloc object area, and when both of
the debug are enabled, there is possible conflict, especially when
the kmalloc object has small size, as caught by 0Day bot [1].
To solve it, slub code needs to know the in-object kasan's meta
data size. Currently, there is existing kasan_metadata_size()
which returns the kasan's metadata size inside slub's metadata
area, so extend it to also cover the in-object meta size by
adding a boolean flag 'in_object'.
There is no functional change to existing code logic.

kzalloc/kmalloc will round up the request size to a fixed size
(mostly power of 2), so the allocated memory could be more than
requested. Currently kzalloc family APIs will zero all the
allocated memory.
To detect out-of-bound usage of the extra allocated memory, only
zero the requested part, so that redzone sanity check could be
added to the extra space later.
For kzalloc users who will call ksize() later and utilize this
extra space, please be aware that the space is not zeroed any
more when debug is enabled. (Thanks to Kees Cook's effort to
sanitize all ksize() user cases [1], this won't be a big issue).

For SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches we use call_rcu to perform empty slab
freeing. The rcu callback rcu_free_slab() calls __free_slab() that
currently includes checking the slab consistency for caches with
SLAB_CONSISTENCY_CHECKS flags. This check needs the slab->objects field
to be intact.
Because in the next patch we want to allow rcu_head in struct slab to
become larger in debug configurations and thus potentially overwrite
more fields through a union than slab_list, we want to limit the fields
used in rcu_free_slab(). Thus move the consistency checks to
free_slab() before call_rcu(). This can be done safely even for
SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU caches where accesses to the objects can still
occur after freeing them.
As a result, only the slab->slab_cache field has to be physically
separate from rcu_head for the freeing callback to work. We also save
some cycles in the rcu callback for caches with consistency checks
enabled.

In (060807f841 mm, slub: make remaining slub_debug related attributes
read-only) failslab was made read-only.
I think it became a collateral victim to the two other options for which
the reasons are perfectly valid.
Here is why:
- sanity_checks and trace are slab internal debug options,
failslab is used for fault injection.
- for fault injections, which by presumption are random, it
does not matter if it is not set atomically. And you need to
set atleast one more option to trigger fault injection.
- in a testing scenario you may need to change it at runtime
example: module loading - you test all allocations limited
by the space option. Then you move to test only your module's
own slabs.
- when set by command line flags it effectively disables all
cache merges.

Currently, slab_sysfs_init() is an __initcall aka device_initcall. It
is rather time-consuming; on my board it takes around 11ms. That's
about 1% of the time budget I have from U-Boot letting go and until
linux must assume responsibility of keeping the external watchdog
happy.
There's no particular reason this would need to run at device_initcall
time, so instead make it a late_initcall to allow vital functionality
to get started a bit sooner.
This actually ends up winning more than just those 11ms, because the
slab caches that get created during other device_initcalls (and before
my watchdog device gets probed) now don't end up doing the somewhat
expensive sysfs_slab_add() themselves. Some example lines (with
initcall_debug set) before/after:
initcall ext4_init_fs+0x0/0x1ac returned 0 after 1386 usecs
initcall journal_init+0x0/0x138 returned 0 after 517 usecs
initcall init_fat_fs+0x0/0x68 returned 0 after 294 usecs
initcall ext4_init_fs+0x0/0x1ac returned 0 after 240 usecs
initcall journal_init+0x0/0x138 returned 0 after 32 usecs
initcall init_fat_fs+0x0/0x68 returned 0 after 18 usecs
Altogether, this means I now get to petting the watchdog around 17ms
sooner. [Of course, the time the other initcalls save is instead spent
in slab_sysfs_init(), which goes from 11ms to 16ms, so there's no
overall change in boot time.]

The function sysfs_slab_add() has two callers:
One is slab_sysfs_init(), which first initializes slab_kset, and only
when that succeeds sets slab_state to FULL, and then proceeds to call
sysfs_slab_add() for all previously created slabs.
The other is __kmem_cache_create(), but only after a
if (slab_state <= UP)
return 0;
check.
So in other words, sysfs_slab_add() is never called without
slab_kset (aka the return value of cache_kset()) being non-NULL.
And this is just as well, because if we ever did take this path and
called kobject_init(&s->kobj), and then later when called again from
slab_sysfs_init() would end up calling kobject_init_and_add(), we
would hit
if (kobj->state_initialized) {
/* do not error out as sometimes we can recover */
pr_err("kobject (%p): tried to init an initialized object, something is seriously wrong.\n",
dump_stack();
}
in kobject.c.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.
Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.
- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.
KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.
- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.
- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.
- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen
- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov
- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure
- Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.
- memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
memory consumption.

In order to report uninitialized memory coming from heap allocations KMSAN
has to poison them unless they're created with __GFP_ZERO.
It's handy that we need KMSAN hooks in the places where
init_on_alloc/init_on_free initialization is performed.
In addition, we apply __no_kmsan_checks to get_freepointer_safe() to
suppress reports when accessing freelist pointers that reside in freed
objects.

It was biscted to commit c7323a5ad0 ("mm/slub: restrict sysfs
validation to debug caches and make it safe")
The problem is inside free_debug_processing(), under certain
circumstances the slab can be removed from the partial list but not
freed by discard_slab() and thus n->nr_slabs is not decreased
accordingly. During shutdown, this non-zero n->nr_slabs is detected and
reported.
Specifically, the problem is that there are two checks for detecting a
full partial list by comparing n->nr_partial >= s->min_partial where the
latter check is affected by remove_partial() decreasing n->nr_partial
between the checks. Reoganize the code so there is a single check
upfront.

A patch from Feng Tang that enhances the existing debugfs alloc_traces
file for kmalloc caches with information about how much space is wasted
by allocations that needs less space than the particular kmalloc cache
provides.
As Christophe JAILLET suggested [1]
In create_unique_id(),
"looks that ID_STR_LENGTH could even be reduced to 32 or 16.
The 2nd BUG_ON at the end of the function could certainly be just
removed as well or remplaced by a:
if (p > name + ID_STR_LENGTH - 1) {
kfree(name);
return -E<something>;
}
"
According to above suggestion, let's do below cleanups:
1. reduce ID_STR_LENGTH to 32, as the buffer size should be enough;
2. use WARN_ON instead of BUG_ON() and return error if check condition
is true;
3. use snprintf instead of sprintf to avoid overflow.

kmalloc's API family is critical for mm, with one nature that it will
round up the request size to a fixed one (mostly power of 2). Say
when user requests memory for '2^n + 1' bytes, actually 2^(n+1) bytes
could be allocated, so in worst case, there is around 50% memory
space waste.
The wastage is not a big issue for requests that get allocated/freed
quickly, but may cause problems with objects that have longer life
time.
We've met a kernel boot OOM panic (v5.10), and from the dumped slab
info:
[ 26.062145] kmalloc-2k 814056KB 814056KB
From debug we found there are huge number of 'struct iova_magazine',
whose size is 1032 bytes (1024 + 8), so each allocation will waste
1016 bytes. Though the issue was solved by giving the right (bigger)
size of RAM, it is still nice to optimize the size (either use a
kmalloc friendly size or create a dedicated slab for it).
And from lkml archive, there was another crash kernel OOM case [1]
back in 2019, which seems to be related with the similar slab waste
situation, as the log is similar:
[ 4.332648] iommu: Adding device 0000:20:02.0 to group 16
[ 4.338946] swapper/0 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6040c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0
...
[ 4.857565] kmalloc-2048 59164KB 59164KB
The crash kernel only has 256M memory, and 59M is pretty big here.
(Note: the related code has been changed and optimised in recent
kernel [2], these logs are just picked to demo the problem, also
a patch changing its size to 1024 bytes has been merged)
So add an way to track each kmalloc's memory waste info, and
leverage the existing SLUB debug framework (specifically
SLUB_STORE_USER) to show its call stack of original allocation,
so that user can evaluate the waste situation, identify some hot
spots and optimize accordingly, for a better utilization of memory.
The waste info is integrated into existing interface:
'/sys/kernel/debug/slab/kmalloc-xx/alloc_traces', one example of
'kmalloc-4k' after boot is:
126 ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe] waste=233856/1856 age=280763/281414/282065 pid=1330 cpus=32 nodes=1
__kmem_cache_alloc_node+0x11f/0x4e0
__kmalloc_node+0x4e/0x140
ixgbe_alloc_q_vector+0xbe/0x830 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_init_interrupt_scheme+0x2ae/0xc90 [ixgbe]
ixgbe_probe+0x165f/0x1d20 [ixgbe]
local_pci_probe+0x78/0xc0
work_for_cpu_fn+0x26/0x40
...
which means in 'kmalloc-4k' slab, there are 126 requests of
2240 bytes which got a 4KB space (wasting 1856 bytes each
and 233856 bytes in total), from ixgbe_alloc_q_vector().
And when system starts some real workload like multiple docker
instances, there could are more severe waste.

The PREEMPT_RT specific disabling of irqs in __cmpxchg_double_slab()
(through slab_[un]lock()) is unnecessary as bit_spin_lock() disables
preemption and that's sufficient on PREEMPT_RT where no allocation/free
operation is performed in hardirq context and so can't interrupt the
current operation.
That means we no longer need the slab_[un]lock() wrappers, so delete
them and rename the current __slab_[un]lock() to slab_[un]lock().

All alloc and free operations on debug caches are now serialized by
n->list_lock, so we can remove slab_lock() usage in validate_slab()
and list_slab_objects() as those also happen under n->list_lock.
Note the usage in list_slab_objects() could happen even on non-debug
caches, but only during cache shutdown time, so there should not be any
parallel freeing activity anymore. Except for buggy slab users, but in
that case the slab_lock() would not help against the common cmpxchg
based fast paths (in non-debug caches) anyway.
Also adjust documentation comments accordingly.

Rongwei Wang reports [1] that cache validation triggered by writing to
/sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/validate is racy against normal cache
operations (e.g. freeing) in a way that can cause false positive
inconsistency reports for caches with debugging enabled. The problem is
that debugging actions that mark object free or active and actual
freelist operations are not atomic, and the validation can see an
inconsistent state.
For caches that do or don't have debugging enabled, additional races
involving n->nr_slabs are possible that result in false reports of wrong
slab counts.
This patch attempts to solve these issues while not adding overhead to
normal (especially fastpath) operations for caches that do not have
debugging enabled. Such overhead would not be justified to make possible
userspace-triggered validation safe. Instead, disable the validation for
caches that don't have debugging enabled and make their sysfs validate
handler return -EINVAL.
For caches that do have debugging enabled, we can instead extend the
existing approach of not using percpu freelists to force all alloc/free
operations to the slow paths where debugging flags is checked and acted
upon. There can adjust the debug-specific paths to increase n->list_lock
coverage against concurrent validation as necessary.
The processing on free in free_debug_processing() already happens under
n->list_lock so we can extend it to actually do the freeing as well and
thus make it atomic against concurrent validation. As observed by
Hyeonggon Yoo, we do not really need to take slab_lock() anymore here
because all paths we could race with are protected by n->list_lock under
the new scheme, so drop its usage here.
The processing on alloc in alloc_debug_processing() currently doesn't
take any locks, but we have to first allocate the object from a slab on
the partial list (as debugging caches have no percpu slabs) and thus
take the n->list_lock anyway. Add a function alloc_single_from_partial()
that grabs just the allocated object instead of the whole freelist, and
does the debug processing. The n->list_lock coverage again makes it
atomic against validation and it is also ultimately more efficient than
the current grabbing of freelist immediately followed by slab
deactivation.
To prevent races on n->nr_slabs updates, make sure that for caches with
debugging enabled, inc_slabs_node() or dec_slabs_node() is called under
n->list_lock. When allocating a new slab for a debug cache, handle the
allocation by a new function alloc_single_from_new_slab() instead of the
current forced deactivation path.
Neither of these changes affect the fast paths at all. The changes in
slow paths are negligible for non-debug caches.

By default kfence allocation can happen for any slab object, whose size is
up to PAGE_SIZE, as long as that allocation is the first allocation after
expiration of kfence sample interval. But in certain debugging scenarios
we may be interested in debugging corruptions involving some specific slub
objects like dentry or ext4_* etc. In such cases limiting kfence for
allocations involving only specific slub objects will increase the
probablity of catching the issue since kfence pool will not be consumed by
other slab objects.
This patch introduces a sysfs interface
'/sys/kernel/slab/<name>/skip_kfence' to disable kfence for specific
slabs. Having the interface work in this way does not impact
current/default behavior of kfence and allows us to use kfence for
specific slabs (when needed) as well. The decision to skip/use kfence is

using TRACE_EVENT() macro.
And then this patch does:
- Do not pass pointer to struct kmem_cache to trace_kmalloc.
gfp flag is enough to know if it's accounted or not.
- Avoid dereferencing s->object_size and s->size when not using kmem_cache_alloc event.
- Avoid dereferencing s->name in when not using kmem_cache_free event.

Most callers of memcg_slab_free_hook() already know the slab, which could
be passed to memcg_slab_free_hook() directly to reduce the overhead of an
another call of virt_to_slab(). For bulk freeing of objects, the call of
slab_objcgs() in the loop in memcg_slab_free_hook() is redundant as well.
Rework memcg_slab_free_hook() and build_detached_freelist() to reduce
those unnecessary overhead and make memcg_slab_free_hook() can handle bulk
freeing in slab_free().
Move the calling site of memcg_slab_free_hook() from do_slab_free() to
slab_free() for slub to make the code clearer since the logic is weird
(e.g. the caller need to judge whether it needs to call
memcg_slab_free_hook()). It is easy to make mistakes like missing calling
of memcg_slab_free_hook() like fixes of:
commit d1b2cf6cb8 ("mm: memcg/slab: uncharge during kmem_cache_free_bulk()")
commit ae085d7f93 ("mm: kfence: fix missing objcg housekeeping for SLAB")
This optimization is mainly for bulk objects freeing. The following numbers
is shown for 16-object freeing.

The fastpath in slab_alloc_node() assumes that c->slab is stable as long as
the TID stays the same. However, two places in __slab_alloc() currently
don't update the TID when deactivating the CPU slab.
If multiple operations race the right way, this could lead to an object
getting lost; or, in an even more unlikely situation, it could even lead to
an object being freed onto the wrong slab's freelist, messing up the
`inuse` counter and eventually causing a page to be freed to the page
allocator while it still contains slab objects.
(I haven't actually tested these cases though, this is just based on
looking at the code. Writing testcases for this stuff seems like it'd be
a pain...)
The race leading to state inconsistency is (all operations on the same CPU
and kmem_cache):
- task A: begin do_slab_free():
- read TID
- read pcpu freelist (==NULL)
- check `slab == c->slab` (true)
- [PREEMPT A->B]
- task B: begin slab_alloc_node():
- fastpath fails (`c->freelist` is NULL)
- enter __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- take local_lock_irqsave()
- read c->freelist as NULL
- get_freelist() returns NULL
- write `c->slab = NULL`
- drop local_unlock_irqrestore()
- goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is NULL
- get_partial() returns NULL
- slub_put_cpu_ptr() (enables preemption)
- [PREEMPT B->A]
- task A: finish do_slab_free():
- this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() succeeds()
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab==NULL, c->freelist!=NULL]
From there, the object on c->freelist will get lost if task B is allowed to
continue from here: It will proceed to the retry_load_slab label,
set c->slab, then jump to load_freelist, which clobbers c->freelist.
But if we instead continue as follows, we get worse corruption:
- task A: run __slab_free() on object from other struct slab:
- CPU_PARTIAL_FREE case (slab was on no list, is now on pcpu partial)
- task A: run slab_alloc_node() with NUMA node constraint:
- fastpath fails (c->slab is NULL)
- call __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- c->slab is NULL: goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is non-NULL
- set c->slab to slub_percpu_partial(c)
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab points to slab-1, c->freelist has objects
from slab-2]
- goto redo
- node_match() fails
- goto deactivate_slab
- existing c->freelist is passed into deactivate_slab()
- inuse count of slab-1 is decremented to account for object from
slab-2
At this point, the inuse count of slab-1 is 1 lower than it should be.
This means that if we free all allocated objects in slab-1 except for one,
SLUB will think that slab-1 is completely unused, and may free its page,
leading to use-after-free.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Conversion of slub_debug stack traces to stackdepot, allowing more
useful debugfs-based inspection for e.g. memory leak debugging.
Allocation and free debugfs info now includes full traces and is
sorted by the unique trace frequency.
The stackdepot conversion was already attempted last year but
reverted by ae14c63a9f. The memory overhead (while not actually
enabled on boot) has been meanwhile solved by making the large
stackdepot allocation dynamic. The xfstest issues haven't been
reproduced on current kernel locally nor in -next, so the slab cache
layout changes that originally made that bug manifest were probably
not the root cause.
- Refactoring of dma-kmalloc caches creation.
- Trivial cleanups such as removal of unused parameters, fixes and
clarifications of comments.
- Hyeonggon Yoo joins as a reviewer.

Calling kmem_obj_info() via kmem_dump_obj() on KFENCE objects has been
producing garbage data due to the object not actually being maintained
by SLAB or SLUB.
Fix this by implementing __kfence_obj_info() that copies relevant
information to struct kmem_obj_info when the object was allocated by
KFENCE; this is called by a common kmem_obj_info(), which also calls the
slab/slub/slob specific variant now called __kmem_obj_info().
For completeness, kmem_dump_obj() now displays if the object was

The problem of unconditional memory overhead by stackdepot has been

deactivate_slab().
- A bunch of trivial changes, such as removal of unused parameters,
making stuff static, and employing helper functions.
* tag 'slab-for-5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab:
mm: slub: Delete useless parameter of alloc_slab_page()
mm: slab: Delete unused SLAB_DEACTIVATED flag
mm/slub: remove forced_order parameter in calculate_sizes
mm/slub: refactor deactivate_slab()
mm/slub: limit number of node partial slabs only in cache creation
mm/slub: use helper macro __ATTR_XX_MODE for SLAB_ATTR(_RO)
mm/slab_common: use helper function is_power_of_2()
mm/slob: make kmem_cache_boot static
We currently allocate scope for every memcg to be able to tracked on
every superblock instantiated in the system, regardless of whether that
superblock is even accessible to that memcg.
These huge memcg counts come from container hosts where memcgs are
confined to just a small subset of the total number of superblocks that
instantiated at any given point in time.
For these systems with huge container counts, list_lru does not need the
capability of tracking every memcg on every superblock. What it comes
down to is that adding the memcg to the list_lru at the first insert.
So introduce kmem_cache_alloc_lru to allocate objects and its list_lru.
In the later patch, we will convert all inode and dentry allocation from
kmem_cache_alloc to kmem_cache_alloc_lru.

Simplify deactivate_slab() by unlocking n->list_lock and retrying
cmpxchg_double() when cmpxchg_double() fails, and perform
add_{partial,full} only when it succeed.
Releasing and taking n->list_lock again here is not harmful as SLUB

SLUB sets number of minimum partial slabs for node (min_partial)
using set_min_partial(). SLUB holds at least min_partial slabs even if
they're empty to avoid excessive use of page allocator.
set_min_partial() limits value of min_partial limits value of
min_partial MIN_PARTIAL and MAX_PARTIAL. As set_min_partial() can be
called by min_partial_store() too, Only limit value of min_partial

The fields 'next' and 'slabs' are only used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL
is enabled. We can put their definition to #ifdef to prevent accidental
use when disabled.
Currenlty show_slab_objects() and slabs_cpu_partial_show() contain code
accessing the slabs field that's effectively dead with
CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL=n through the wrappers slub_percpu_partial() and
slub_percpu_partial_read_once(), but to prevent a compile error, we need
to hide all this code behind #ifdef.

KASAN accesses some slab related struct page fields so we need to
convert it to struct slab. Some places are a bit simplified thanks to
kasan_addr_to_slab() encapsulating the PageSlab flag check through
virt_to_slab(). When resolving object address to either a real slab or
a large kmalloc, use struct folio as the intermediate type for testing
the slab flag to avoid unnecessary implicit compound_head().

Preparatory, callers convert back to struct page for now.
Also move setting page flags to alloc_slab_page() where we still operate
on a struct page. This means the page->slab_cache pointer is now set
later than the PageSlab flag, which could theoretically confuse some pfn
walker assuming PageSlab means there would be a valid cache pointer. But
as the code had no barriers and used __set_bit() anyway, it could have
happened already, so there shouldn't be such a walker.

On big-endian s390, the alloc/free_traces attributes produce endless
output, because of always 0 idx in slab_debugfs_show().
idx is de-referenced from *v, which points to a loff_t value, with
unsigned int idx = *(unsigned int *)v;
This will only give the upper 32 bits on big-endian, which remain 0.
Instead of only fixing this de-reference, during discussion it seemed
more appropriate to change the seq_ops so that they use an explicit
iterator in private loc_track struct.
This patch adds idx to loc_track, which will also fix the endianness

After the memory is freed, it can be immediately allocated by other
CPUs, before the "free" trace report has been emitted. This causes
inaccurate traces.
For example, if the following sequence of events occurs:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(1) alloc xxxxxx
(2) free xxxxxx
(3) alloc xxxxxx
(4) free xxxxxx
Then they will be inaccurately reported via tracing, so that they appear
to have happened in this order:
CPU 0 CPU 1
(1) alloc xxxxxx
(2) alloc xxxxxx
(3) free xxxxxx
(4) free xxxxxx
This makes it look like CPU 1 somehow managed to allocate memory that
CPU 0 still had allocated for itself.
In order to avoid this, emit the "free xxxxxx" tracing report just
before the actual call to free the memory, instead of just after it.

This has served its purpose and is no longer used. All usercopy
violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances
(or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected.
This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3b ("usercopy: Allow
strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is
effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too.
This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

Commit 0ad9500e16 ("slub: prefetch next freelist pointer in
slab_alloc()") introduced prefetch_freepointer() because when other
cpu(s) freed objects into a page that current cpu owns, the freelist
link is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects and possibly very cold on
current cpu.
But if freelist link chain is hot on cpu(s) which freed objects, it's
better to invalidate that chain because they're not going to access
again within a short time.
So use prefetchw instead of prefetch. On supported architectures like
x86 and arm, it invalidates other copied instances of a cache line when
prefetching it.

The defaults are determined based on object size and can go up to 30 for
objects smaller than 256 bytes. Before the previous patch changed the
accounting, this could have made cpu partial list contain up to 30
pages. After that patch, only up to 2 pages with default allocation
order.
Very short lists limit the usefulness of the whole concept of cpu
partial lists, so this patch aims at a more reasonable default under the
new accounting. The defaults are quadrupled, except for object size >=
PAGE_SIZE where it's doubled. This makes the lists grow up to 10 pages
in practice.
A quick test of booting a kernel under virtme with 4GB RAM and 8 vcpus
shows the following slab memory usage after boot:
Before previous patch (using page->pobjects):

After previous patch (using page->pages):

After this patch (using page->pages, higher defaults):

In the same setup, I also ran 5 times:

Differences in time were in the noise, we can compare slub stats as
given by slabinfo -r skbuff_head_cache (the other cache heavily used by
hackbench, kmalloc-cg-512 looks similar). Negligible stats left out for
brevity.

As expected, memory usage dropped significantly with change of
accounting, increasing the defaults increased it, but not as much. The
number of page allocation/frees dropped significantly with the new
accounting, but didn't increase with the higher defaults.
Interestingly, the number of fasthpath allocations increased, as well as
allocations from the cpu partial list, even though it's shorter.

With CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL enabled, SLUB keeps a percpu list of
partial slabs that can be promoted to cpu slab when the previous one is
depleted, without accessing the shared partial list. A slab can be
added to this list by 1) refill of an empty list from get_partial_node()
- once we really have to access the shared partial list, we acquire
multiple slabs to amortize the cost of locking, and 2) first free to a
previously full slab - instead of putting the slab on a shared partial
list, we can more cheaply freeze it and put it on the per-cpu list.
To control how large a percpu partial list can grow for a kmem cache,
set_cpu_partial() calculates a target number of free objects on each
cpu's percpu partial list, and this can be also set by the sysfs file
cpu_partial.
However, the tracking of actual number of objects is imprecise, in order
to limit overhead from cpu X freeing an objects to a slab on percpu
partial list of cpu Y. Basically, the percpu partial slabs form a
single linked list, and when we add a new slab to the list with current
head "oldpage", we set in the struct page of the slab we're adding:
page->pages = oldpage->pages + 1; // this is precise
page->pobjects = oldpage->pobjects + (page->objects - page->inuse);
page->next = oldpage;
Thus the real number of free objects in the slab (objects - inuse) is
only determined at the moment of adding the slab to the percpu partial
list, and further freeing doesn't update the pobjects counter nor
propagate it to the current list head. As Jann reports [1], this can
easily lead to large inaccuracies, where the target number of objects
(up to 30 by default) can translate to the same number of (empty) slab
pages on the list. In case 2) above, we put a slab with 1 free object
on the list, thus only increase page->pobjects by 1, even if there are
subsequent frees on the same slab. Jann has noticed this in practice
and so did we [2] when investigating significant increase of kmemcg
usage after switching from SLAB to SLUB.
While this is no longer a problem in kmemcg context thanks to the
accounting rewrite in 5.9, the memory waste is still not ideal and it's
questionable whether it makes sense to perform free object count based
control when object counts can easily become so much inaccurate. So
this patch converts the accounting to be based on number of pages only
(which is precise) and removes the page->pobjects field completely.
This is also ultimately simpler.
To retain the existing set_cpu_partial() heuristic, first calculate the
target number of objects as previously, but then convert it to target
number of pages by assuming the pages will be half-filled on average.
This assumption might obviously also be inaccurate in practice, but
cannot degrade to actual number of pages being equal to the target
number of objects.
We could also skip the intermediate step with target number of objects
and rewrite the heuristic in terms of pages. However we still have the
sysfs file cpu_partial which uses number of objects and could break
existing users if it suddenly becomes number of pages, so this patch
doesn't do that.
In practice, after this patch the heuristics limit the size of percpu
partial list up to 2 pages. In case of a reported regression (which
would mean some workload has benefited from the previous imprecise
object based counting), we can tune the heuristics to get a better
compromise within the new scheme, while still avoid the unexpectedly
long percpu partial lists.

==========
Evaluation
==========
Mel was kind enough to run v1 through mmtests machinery for netperf
(localhost) and hackbench and, for most significant results see below.
So there are some apparent regressions, especially with hackbench, which
I think ultimately boils down to having shorter percpu partial lists on
average and some benchmarks benefiting from longer ones. Monitoring
slab usage also indicated less memory usage by slab. Based on that, the
following patch will bump the defaults to allow longer percpu partial
lists than after this patch.
However the goal is certainly not such that we would limit the percpu
partial lists to 30 pages just because previously a specific alloc/free
pattern could lead to the limit of 30 objects translate to a limit to 30
pages - that would make little sense. This is a correctness patch, and
if a workload benefits from larger lists, the sysfs tuning knobs are
still there to allow that.

Patch series "Fixups for slub".
This series contains various bug fixes for slub. We fix memoryleak,
use-afer-free, NULL pointer dereferencing and so on in slub. More
details can be found in the respective changelogs.
This patch (of 5):
It's possible that __seq_open_private() will return NULL. So we should
check it before using lest dereferencing NULL pointer. And in error
paths, we forgot to release private buffer via seq_release_private().
Memory will leak in these paths.

Embed local_lock into struct kmem_cpu_slab and use the irq-safe versions of
local_lock instead of plain local_irq_save/restore. On !PREEMPT_RT that's
equivalent, with better lockdep visibility. On PREEMPT_RT that means better
preemption.
However, the cost on PREEMPT_RT is the loss of lockless fast paths which only
work with cpu freelist. Those are designed to detect and recover from being
preempted by other conflicting operations (both fast or slow path), but the
slow path operations assume they cannot be preempted by a fast path operation,
which is guaranteed naturally with disabled irqs. With local locks on
PREEMPT_RT, the fast paths now also need to take the local lock to avoid races.
In the allocation fastpath slab_alloc_node() we can just defer to the slowpath
__slab_alloc() which also works with cpu freelist, but under the local lock.
In the free fastpath do_slab_free() we have to add a new local lock protected
version of freeing to the cpu freelist, as the existing slowpath only works
with the page freelist.
Also update the comment about locking scheme in SLUB to reflect changes done
by this series.

We currently use preempt_disable() (directly or via get_cpu_ptr()) to stabilize
the pointer to kmem_cache_cpu. On PREEMPT_RT this would be incompatible with
the list_lock spinlock. We can use migrate_disable() instead, but that
increases overhead on !PREEMPT_RT as it's an unconditional function call.
In order to get the best available mechanism on both PREEMPT_RT and
!PREEMPT_RT, introduce private slub_get_cpu_ptr() and slub_put_cpu_ptr()
wrappers and use them.

Jann Horn reported [1] the following theoretically possible race:
task A: put_cpu_partial() calls preempt_disable()
task A: oldpage = this_cpu_read(s->cpu_slab->partial)
interrupt: kfree() reaches unfreeze_partials() and discards the page
task B (on another CPU): reallocates page as page cache
task A: reads page->pages and page->pobjects, which are actually
halves of the pointer page->lru.prev
task B (on another CPU): frees page
interrupt: allocates page as SLUB page and places it on the percpu partial list
task A: this_cpu_cmpxchg() succeeds
which would cause page->pages and page->pobjects to end up containing
halves of pointers that would then influence when put_cpu_partial()
happens and show up in root-only sysfs files. Maybe that's acceptable,
I don't know. But there should probably at least be a comment for now
to point out that we're reading union fields of a page that might be
in a completely different state.
Additionally, the this_cpu_cmpxchg() approach in put_cpu_partial() is only safe
against s->cpu_slab->partial manipulation in ___slab_alloc() if the latter
disables irqs, otherwise a __slab_free() in an irq handler could call
put_cpu_partial() in the middle of ___slab_alloc() manipulating ->partial
and corrupt it. This becomes an issue on RT after a local_lock is introduced
in later patch. The fix means taking the local_lock also in put_cpu_partial()
on RT.
After debugging this issue, Mike Galbraith suggested [2] that to avoid
different locking schemes on RT and !RT, we can just protect put_cpu_partial()
with disabled irqs (to be converted to local_lock_irqsave() later) everywhere.
This should be acceptable as it's not a fast path, and moving the actual
partial unfreezing outside of the irq disabled section makes it short, and with
the retry loop gone the code can be also simplified. In addition, the race
reported by Jann should no longer be possible.

We need to disable irqs around slab_lock() (a bit spinlock) to make it
irq-safe. Most calls to slab_lock() are nested under spin_lock_irqsave() which
doesn't disable irqs on PREEMPT_RT, so add explicit disabling with PREEMPT_RT.
The exception is cmpxchg_double_slab() which already disables irqs, so use a
__slab_[un]lock() variant without irq disable there.
slab_[un]lock() thus needs a flags pointer parameter, which is unused on !RT.
free_debug_processing() now has two flags variables, which looks odd, but only
one is actually used - the one used in spin_lock_irqsave() on !RT and the one
used in slab_lock() on RT.
As a result, __cmpxchg_double_slab() and cmpxchg_double_slab() become
effectively identical on RT, as both will disable irqs, which is necessary on
RT as most callers of this function also rely on irqsaving lock operations.
Thus, assert that irqs are already disabled in __cmpxchg_double_slab() only on
!RT and also change the VM_BUG_ON assertion to the more standard lockdep_assert
one.

flush_all() flushes a specific SLAB cache on each CPU (where the cache
is present). The deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() invocation happens
within IPI handler and is problematic for PREEMPT_RT.
The flush operation is not a frequent operation or a hot path. The
per-CPU flush operation can be moved to within a workqueue.
Because a workqueue handler, unlike IPI handler, does not disable irqs,
flush_slab() now has to disable them for working with the kmem_cache_cpu
fields. deactivate_slab() is safe to call with irqs enabled.

flush_slab() is called either as part IPI handler on given live cpu, or as a
cleanup on behalf of another cpu that went offline. The first case needs to
protect updating the kmem_cache_cpu fields with disabled irqs. Currently the
whole call happens with irqs disabled by the IPI handler, but the following
patch will change from IPI to workqueue, and flush_slab() will have to disable
irqs (to be replaced with a local lock later) in the critical part.
To prepare for this change, replace the call to flush_slab() for the dead cpu
handling with an opencoded variant that will not disable irqs nor take a local
lock.

Unfreezing partial list can be split to two phases - detaching the list from
struct kmem_cache_cpu, and processing the list. The whole operation does not
need to be protected by disabled irqs. Restructure the code to separate the
detaching (with disabled irqs) and unfreezing (with irq disabling to be reduced
in the next patch).
Also, unfreeze_partials() can be called from another cpu on behalf of a cpu
that is being offlined, where disabling irqs on the local cpu has no sense, so
restructure the code as follows:
- __unfreeze_partials() is the bulk of unfreeze_partials() that processes the
detached percpu partial list
- unfreeze_partials() detaches list from current cpu with irqs disabled and
calls __unfreeze_partials()
- unfreeze_partials_cpu() is to be called for the offlined cpu so it needs no
irq disabling, and is called from __flush_cpu_slab()
- flush_cpu_slab() is for the local cpu thus it needs to call
unfreeze_partials(). So it can't simply call
__flush_cpu_slab(smp_processor_id()) anymore and we have to open-code the
proper calls.

unfreeze_partials() can be optimized so that it doesn't need irqs disabled for

The function is now safe to be called with irqs enabled, so move the calls
outside of irq disabled sections.
When called from ___slab_alloc() -> flush_slab() we have irqs disabled, so to
reenable them before deactivate_slab() we need to open-code flush_slab() in
___slab_alloc() and reenable irqs after modifying the kmem_cache_cpu fields.
But that means a IRQ handler meanwhile might have assigned a new page to
kmem_cache_cpu.page so we have to retry the whole check.
The remaining callers of flush_slab() are the IPI handler which has disabled
irqs anyway, and slub_cpu_dead() which will be dealt with in the following
patch.

dectivate_slab() now no longer touches the kmem_cache_cpu structure, so it will
be possible to call it with irqs enabled. Just convert the spin_lock calls to
their irq saving/restoring variants to make it irq-safe.
Note we now have to use cmpxchg_double_slab() for irq-safe slab_lock(), because
in some situations we don't take the list_lock, which would disable irqs.

deactivate_slab() removes the cpu slab by merging the cpu freelist with slab's
freelist and putting the slab on the proper node's list. It also sets the
respective kmem_cache_cpu pointers to NULL.
By extracting the kmem_cache_cpu operations from the function, we can make it
not dependent on disabled irqs.
Also if we return a single free pointer from ___slab_alloc, we no longer have
to assign kmem_cache_cpu.page before deactivation or care if somebody preempted
us and assigned a different page to our kmem_cache_cpu in the process.

The function get_partial() does not need to have irqs disabled as a whole. It's
sufficient to convert spin_lock operations to their irq saving/restoring
versions.
As a result, it's now possible to reach the page allocator from the slab
allocator without disabling and re-enabling interrupts on the way.

Building on top of the previous patch, re-enable irqs before checking new
pages. alloc_debug_processing() is now called with enabled irqs so we need to
remove VM_BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()); in check_slab() - there doesn't seem to be
a need for it anyway.

When we obtain a new slab page from node partial list or page allocator, we
assign it to kmem_cache_cpu, perform some checks, and if they fail, we undo
the assignment.
In order to allow doing the checks without irq disabled, restructure the code
so that the checks are done first, and kmem_cache_cpu.page assignment only
after they pass.

allocate_slab() currently re-enables irqs before calling to the page allocator.
It depends on gfpflags_allow_blocking() to determine if it's safe to do so.
Now we can instead simply restore irq before calling it through new_slab().
The other caller early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() is unaffected by this.

Continue reducing the irq disabled scope. Check for per-cpu partial slabs with
first with irqs enabled and then recheck with irqs disabled before grabbing
the slab page. Mostly preparatory for the following patches.

As another step of shortening irq disabled sections in ___slab_alloc(), delay
disabling irqs until we pass the initial checks if there is a cached percpu
slab and it's suitable for our allocation.
Now we have to recheck c->page after actually disabling irqs as an allocation
in irq handler might have replaced it.
Because we call pfmemalloc_match() as one of the checks, we might hit
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!PageSlab(page)) in PageSlabPfmemalloc in case we get
interrupted and the page is freed. Thus introduce a pfmemalloc_match_unsafe()
variant that lacks the PageSlab check.

Currently __slab_alloc() disables irqs around the whole ___slab_alloc(). This
includes cases where this is not needed, such as when the allocation ends up in
the page allocator and has to awkwardly enable irqs back based on gfp flags.
Also the whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() is executed with irqs disabled even when
it hits the __slab_alloc() slow path, and long periods with disabled interrupts
are undesirable.
As a first step towards reducing irq disabled periods, move irq handling into
___slab_alloc(). Callers will instead prevent the s->cpu_slab percpu pointer
from becoming invalid via get_cpu_ptr(), thus preempt_disable(). This does not
protect against modification by an irq handler, which is still done by disabled
irq for most of ___slab_alloc(). As a small immediate benefit,
slab_out_of_memory() from ___slab_alloc() is now called with irqs enabled.
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() disables irqs for its fastpath and then re-enables them
before calling ___slab_alloc(), which then disables them at its discretion. The
whole kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() operation also disables preemption.
When ___slab_alloc() calls new_slab() to allocate a new page, re-enable
preemption, because new_slab() will re-enable interrupts in contexts that allow
blocking (this will be improved by later patches).
The patch itself will thus increase overhead a bit due to disabled preemption
(on configs where it matters) and increased disabling/enabling irqs in
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk(), but that will be gradually improved in the following
patches.
Note in __slab_alloc() we need to change the #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT guard to
CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT to make sure preempt disable/enable is properly paired in
all configurations. On configs without involuntary preemption and debugging
the re-read of kmem_cache_cpu pointer is still compiled out as it was before.

In slab_alloc_node() and do_slab_free() fastpaths we need to guarantee that
our kmem_cache_cpu pointer is from the same cpu as the tid value. Currently
that's done by reading the tid first using this_cpu_read(), then the
kmem_cache_cpu pointer and verifying we read the same tid using the pointer and
plain READ_ONCE().
This can be simplified to just fetching kmem_cache_cpu pointer and then reading
tid using the pointer. That guarantees they are from the same cpu. We don't
need to read the tid using this_cpu_read() because the value will be validated
by this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(), making sure we are on the correct cpu and the
freelist didn't change by anyone preempting us since reading the tid.

When we allocate slab object from a newly acquired page (from node's partial
list or page allocator), we usually also retain the page as a new percpu slab.
There are two exceptions - when pfmemalloc status of the page doesn't match our
gfp flags, or when the cache has debugging enabled.
The current code for these decisions is not easy to follow, so restructure it
and add comments. The new structure will also help with the following changes.
No functional change.

The function get_partial() finds a suitable page on a partial list, acquires
and returns its freelist and assigns the page pointer to kmem_cache_cpu.
In later patch we will need more control over the kmem_cache_cpu.page
assignment, so instead of passing a kmem_cache_cpu pointer, pass a pointer to a
pointer to a page that get_partial() can fill and the caller can assign the
kmem_cache_cpu.page pointer. No functional change as all of this still happens
with disabled IRQs.

The later patches will need more fine grained control over individual actions
in ___slab_alloc(), the only caller of new_slab_objects(), so dissolve it
there. This is a preparatory step with no functional change.
The only minor change is moving WARN_ON_ONCE() for using a constructor together
with __GFP_ZERO to new_slab(), which makes it somewhat less frequent, but still
able to catch a development change introducing a systematic misuse.

Commit d6e0b7fa11 ("slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately")
introduced cpu partial flushing for kmemcg caches, based on setting the target
cpu_partial to 0 and adding a flushing check in put_cpu_partial().
This code that sets cpu_partial to 0 was later moved by c9fc586403 ("slab:
introduce __kmemcg_cache_deactivate()") and ultimately removed by 9855609bde
("mm: memcg/slab: use a single set of kmem_caches for all accounted
allocations"). However the check and flush in put_cpu_partial() was never
removed, although it's effectively a dead code. So this patch removes it.
Note that d6e0b7fa11 also added preempt_disable()/enable() to
unfreeze_partials() which could be thus also considered unnecessary. But
further patches will rely on it, so keep it.

In slab_free_hook() we disable irqs around the debug_check_no_locks_freed()
call, which is unnecessary, as irqs are already being disabled inside the call.
This seems to be leftover from the past where there were more calls inside the
irq disabled sections. Remove the irq disable/enable operations.

validate_slab_cache() is called either to handle a sysfs write, or from a
self-test context. In both situations it's straightforward to preallocate a
private object bitmap instead of grabbing the shared static one meant for
critical sections, so let's do that.

Slub has a static spinlock protected bitmap for marking which objects are on
freelist when it wants to list them, for situations where dynamically
allocating such map can lead to recursion or locking issues, and on-stack
bitmap would be too large.
The handlers of debugfs files alloc_traces and free_traces also currently use this
shared bitmap, but their syscall context makes it straightforward to allocate a
private map before entering locked sections, so switch these processing paths
to use a private bitmap.
