The majority of conversion from struct page to struct slab in SLUB
internals can be delegated to a coccinelle semantic patch. This includes
renaming of variables with 'page' in name to 'slab', and similar.
Big thanks to Julia Lawall and Luis Chamberlain for help with
coccinelle.

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
bug.

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 isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3b ("usercopy: Allow

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

In the same setup, I also ran 5 times:
hackbench -l 16000 -g 16
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.

After commit f227f0faf6 ("slub: fix unreclaimable slab stat for bulk
free"), the check for free nonslab page is replaced by VM_BUG_ON_PAGE,
which only check with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, but this config may
impact performance, so it only for debug.
Commit 0937502af7 ("slub: Add check for kfree() of non slab objects.")
add the ability, which should be needed in any configs to catch the
invalid free, they even could be potential issue, eg, memory corruption,
use after free and double free, so replace VM_BUG_ON_PAGE to
WARN_ON_ONCE, add object address printing to help use to debug the
issue.

Merge tag 'printk-for-5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux
Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Extend %pGp print format to print hex value of the page flags
- Use kvmalloc instead of kmalloc to allocate devkmsg buffers
- Misc cleanup and warning fixes
* tag 'printk-for-5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
vsprintf: Update %pGp documentation about that it prints hex value
lib/vsprintf.c: Amend static asserts for format specifier flags
vsprintf: Make %pGp print the hex value
test_printf: Append strings more efficiently
test_printf: Remove custom appending of '|'
test_printf: Remove separate page_flags variable
test_printf: Make pft array const
ia64: don't do IA64_CMPXCHG_DEBUG without CONFIG_PRINTK
printk: use gnu_printf format attribute for printk_sprint()
printk: avoid -Wsometimes-uninitialized warning
printk: use kvmalloc instead of kmalloc for devkmsg_user
All existing users of %pGp want the hex value as well as the decoded
flag names. This looks awkward (passing the same parameter to printf
twice), so move that functionality into the core. If we want, we
can make that optional with flag arguments to %pGp in the future.

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.
Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>
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.

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

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.

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.
