2ade4de871 memcg, kmem: rename cache_from_memcg to cache_from_memcg_idx
We can't see the relationship with memcg from the parameters,
so the name with memcg_idx would be more reasonable.

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

  Problem is that slub_debug option is not parsed before
  create_boot_cache is called. Solve this by changing slub_debug to
  early_param.

  Kernels 3.11, 3.10 are also affected.  I am not sure about older
  kernels.

Christoph Lameter explains:

  kmem_cache_flags may be called with NULL parameter during early boot.
  Skip the test in that case.

d56791b38e slub: proper kmemleak tracking if CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG disabled
Move all kmemleak calls into hook functions, and make it so
that all hooks (both inside and outside of #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG)
call the appropriate kmemleak routines.  This allows for kmemleak
to be configured independently of slub debug features.

It also fixes a bug where kmemleak was only partially enabled in some
configurations.

f1b6eb6e6b mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmallocXXX functions to common code
The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
in slob.

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
can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

370905069c Revert "slub: do not put a slab to cpu partial list when cpu_partial is 0"
This reverts commit 318df36e57.

This commit caused Steven Rostedt's hackbench runs to run out of memory
due to a leak.  As noted by Joonsoo Kim, it is buggy in the following
scenario:

 "I guess, you may set 0 to all kmem caches's cpu_partial via sysfs,
  doesn't it?

  In this case, memory leak is possible in following case.  Code flow of
  possible leak is follwing case.

   * in __slab_free()
   1. (!new.inuse || !prior) && !was_frozen
   2. !kmem_cache_debug && !prior
   3. new.frozen = 1
   4. after cmpxchg_double_slab, run the (!n) case with new.frozen=1
   5. with this patch, put_cpu_partial() doesn't do anything,
      because this cache's cpu_partial is 0
   6. return

  In step 5, leak occur"

And Steven does indeed have cpu_partial set to 0 due to RT testing.

Joonsoo is cooking up a patch, but everybody agrees that reverting this
for now is the right thing to do.

0db0628d90 kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Now, this uses SLUB pretty much unmodified, but as it is the -rt kernel
with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set, spinlocks are mutexes, although they do
disable migration. But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the
spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I
believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt
patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-)

Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable
can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not
check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic.

As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if
it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the
__slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?

7cccd80b43 slub: tid must be retrieved from the percpu area of the current processor
As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a
different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and
before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the
wrong node in slab_alloc().

The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the
freelist of the wrong page.

The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is
possible.

4d7868e647 slub: Do not dereference NULL pointer in node_match
The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore
the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing
of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg
succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are
able to perform the same allocation from the freelist.

Check for the NULL pointer in node_match.

A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.

633b076464 slub: correct to calculate num of acquired objects in get_partial_node()
There is a subtle bug when calculating a number of acquired objects.

Currently, we calculate "available = page->objects - page->inuse",
after acquire_slab() is called in get_partial_node().

In acquire_slab() with mode = 1, we always set new.inuse = page->objects.
So,

	acquire_slab(s, n, page, object == NULL);

	if (!object) {
		c->page = page;
		stat(s, ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL);
		object = t;
		available = page->objects - page->inuse;

		!!! availabe is always 0 !!!
	...

Therfore, "available > s->cpu_partial / 2" is always false and
we always go to second iteration.
This patch correct this problem.

After that, we don't need return value of put_cpu_partial().
So remove it.

7d557b3cb6 slub: correctly bootstrap boot caches
After we create a boot cache, we may allocate from it until it is bootstraped.
This will move the page from the partial list to the cpu slab list. If this
happens, the loop:

	list_for_each_entry(p, &n->partial, lru)

that we use to scan for all partial pages will yield nothing, and the pages
will keep pointing to the boot cpu cache, which is of course, invalid. To do
that, we should flush the cache to make sure that the cpu slab is back to the
partial list.

22b751c3d0 mm: rename page struct field helpers
The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern.  As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset().  There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

5413dfba88 slub: drop mutex before deleting sysfs entry
Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new
attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series.  In short, slab_mutex
will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function.  This will
create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is
destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then
calls in to the sysfs directory removal function.

In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what
__kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the
lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove.  This is pretty much the last
operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by
splitting this and moving this call alone to later on.  This will fit
nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look
weird now.

ebe945c276 memcg: add comments clarifying aspects of cache attribute propagation
This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation.

First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in
memcontrol.h.  The usages already in the codebase are safe.  In mm/slub.c,
it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop.
In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a
few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is
indeed safe.

A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the
parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes.

107dab5c92 slub: slub-specific propagation changes
SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based
tunables.  When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any
tunables the parent cache already had.

This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by
the allocator.  We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields.
Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by
sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and
then ->store() in the memcg cache.

The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering
for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee.  To
avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store
time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache.  We
will then get a buffer big enough to hold it.  The corolary to this, is
that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated.

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.

1f458cbf12 memcg: destroy memcg caches
Implement destruction of memcg caches.  Right now, only caches where our
reference counter is the last remaining are deleted.  If there are any
other reference counters around, we just leave the caches lying around
until they go away.

When that happens, a destruction function is called from the cache code.
Caches are only destroyed in process context, so we queue them up for
later processing in the general case.

d79923fad9 sl[au]b: allocate objects from memcg cache
We are able to match a cache allocation to a particular memcg.  If the
task doesn't change groups during the allocation itself - a rare event,
this will give us a good picture about who is the first group to touch a
cache page.

This patch uses the now available infrastructure by calling
memcg_kmem_get_cache() before all the cache allocations.

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.

b9d5ab2562 slub, hotplug: ignore unrelated node's hot-adding and hot-removing
SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have normal memory and it ignores the
other node's hot-adding and hot-removing.

Aka: if some memory of a node which has no onlined memory is online, but
this new memory onlined is not normal memory (for example, highmem), we
should not allocate kmem_cache_node for SLUB.

And if the last normal memory is offlined, but the node still has memory,
we should remove kmem_cache_node for that node.  (The current code delays
it when all of the memory is offlined)

So we only do something when marg->status_change_nid_normal > 0.
marg->status_change_nid is not suitable here.

The same problem doesn't exist in SLAB, because SLAB allocates kmem_list3
for every node even the node don't have normal memory, SLAB tolerates
kmem_list3 on alien nodes.  SLUB only focuses on the nodes which have
normal memory, it don't tolerate alien kmem_cache_node.  The patch makes
SLUB become self-compatible and avoids WARNs and BUGs in rare conditions.
