* 'slab/for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/penberg/linux: (24 commits)
mm, slab_common: Fix bootstrap creation of kmalloc caches
slab: Return NULL for oversized allocations
mm: slab: Verify the nodeid passed to ____cache_alloc_node
slub: tid must be retrieved from the percpu area of the current processor
slub: Do not dereference NULL pointer in node_match
slub: add 'likely' macro to inc_slabs_node()
slub: correct to calculate num of acquired objects in get_partial_node()
slub: correctly bootstrap boot caches
mm/sl[au]b: correct allocation type check in kmalloc_slab()
slab: Fixup CONFIG_PAGE_ALLOC/DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK sections
slab: Handle ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN correctly
slab: Common definition for kmem_cache_node
slab: Rename list3/l3 to node
slab: Common Kmalloc cache determination
stat: Use size_t for sizes instead of unsigned
slab: Common function to create the kmalloc array
slab: Common definition for the array of kmalloc caches
slab: Common constants for kmalloc boundaries
slab: Rename nodelists to node
slab: Common name for the per node structures
...
If the nodeid is > num_online_nodes() this can cause an Oops and a
panic(). The purpose of this patch is to assert if this condition is
true to aid debugging efforts rather than some random NULL pointer
dereference or page fault.
This patch is in response to BZ#42967 [1]. Using VM_BUG_ON so it's used
only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, given that ____cache_alloc_node() is a
hot code path.

Make slab use the common functions. We can get rid of a lot
of old ugly stuff as a results. Among them the sizes
array and the weird include/linux/kmalloc_sizes file and
some pretty bad #include statements in slab_def.h.
The one thing that is different in slab is that the 32 byte
cache will also be created for arches that have page sizes
larger than 4K. There are numerous smaller allocations that
SLOB and SLUB can handle better because of their support for
smaller allocation sizes so lets keep the 32 byte slab also
for arches with > 4K pages.

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.

SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When
creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
parent cache already had.
This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.
It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.
This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

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.

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

memcg_kmem_get_cache() before all the cache allocations.

We currently provide lockdep annotation for kmalloc caches, and also
caches that have SLAB_DEBUG_OBJECTS enabled. The reason for this is that
we can quite frequently nest in the l3->list_lock lock, which is not
something trivial to avoid.
My proposal with this patch, is to extend this to caches whose slab
management object lives within the slab as well ("on_slab"). The need for
this arose in the context of testing kmemcg-slab patches. With such
patchset, we can have per-memcg kmalloc caches. So the same path that led
to nesting between kmalloc caches will could then lead to in-memcg
nesting. Because they are not annotated, lockdep will trigger.

The nodelists field in kmem_cache is pointing to the first unused
object in the array field when bootstrap is complete.
A problem with the current approach is that the statically sized
kmem_cache structure use on boot can only contain NR_CPUS entries.
If the number of nodes plus the number of cpus is greater then we
would overwrite memory following the kmem_cache_boot definition.
Increase the size of the array field to ensure that also the node
pointers fit into the array field.
Once we do that we no longer need the kmem_cache_nodelists
array and we can then also use that structure elsewhere.

Some flags are used internally by the allocators for management
purposes. One example of that is the CFLGS_OFF_SLAB flag that slab uses
to mark that the metadata for that cache is stored outside of the slab.
No cache should ever pass those as a creation flags. We can just ignore
this bit if it happens to be passed (such as when duplicating a cache in
the kmem memcg patches).
Because such flags can vary from allocator to allocator, we allow them
to make their own decisions on that, defining SLAB_AVAILABLE_FLAGS with
all flags that are valid at creation time. Allocators that doesn't have
any specific flag requirement should define that to mean all flags.
Common code will mask out all flags not belonging to that set.

The header format is highly similar between slab and slub. The main
difference lays in the fact that slab may optionally have statistics

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Right now, we call ClearSlabPfmemalloc() for first page of slab when we
clear SlabPfmemalloc flag. This is fine for most swap-over-network use
cases as it is expected that order-0 pages are in use. Unfortunately it
is possible that that __ac_put_obj() checks SlabPfmemalloc on a tail
page and while this is harmless, it is sloppy. This patch ensures that
the head page is always used.
This problem was originally identified by Joonsoo Kim.

DEADLOCK will be report while running a kernel with NUMA and LOCKDEP enabled,
the process of this fake report is:
kmem_cache_free() //free obj in cachep
-> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep's l3 alien lock
-> __drain_alien_cache()
-> free_block()
-> slab_destroy()
-> kmem_cache_free() //free slab in cachep->slabp_cache
-> cache_free_alien() //acquire cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien lock
Since the cachep and cachep->slabp_cache's l3 alien are in the same lock class,
fake report generated.
This should not happen since we already have init_lock_keys() which will
reassign the lock class for both l3 list and l3 alien.
However, init_lock_keys() was invoked at a wrong position which is before we
invoke enable_cpucache() on each cache.
Since until set slab_state to be FULL, we won't invoke enable_cpucache()
on caches to build their l3 alien while creating them, so although we invoked
init_lock_keys(), the l3 alien lock class won't change since we don't have
them until invoked enable_cpucache() later.
This patch will invoke init_lock_keys() after we done enable_cpucache()
instead of before to avoid the fake DEADLOCK report.
Michael traced the problem back to a commit in release 3.0.0:

slab, lockdep: Annotate the locks before using them
Fernando found we hit the regular OFF_SLAB 'recursion' before we
annotate the locks, cure this.

The commit moved init_lock_keys() before we build up the alien, so we
failed to reclass it.
