Vladimir Davydov d6e0b7fa11 slub: make dead caches discard free slabs immediately
To speed up further allocations SLUB may store empty slabs in per cpu/node
partial lists instead of freeing them immediately.  This prevents per
memcg caches destruction, because kmem caches created for a memory cgroup
are only destroyed after the last page charged to the cgroup is freed.

To fix this issue, this patch resurrects approach first proposed in [1].
It forbids SLUB to cache empty slabs after the memory cgroup that the
cache belongs to was destroyed.  It is achieved by setting kmem_cache's
cpu_partial and min_partial constants to 0 and tuning put_cpu_partial() so
that it would drop frozen empty slabs immediately if cpu_partial = 0.

The runtime overhead is minimal.  From all the hot functions, we only
touch relatively cold put_cpu_partial(): we make it call
unfreeze_partials() after freezing a slab that belongs to an offline
memory cgroup.  Since slab freezing exists to avoid moving slabs from/to a
partial list on free/alloc, and there can't be allocations from dead
caches, it shouldn't cause any overhead.  We do have to disable preemption
for put_cpu_partial() to achieve that though.

The original patch was accepted well and even merged to the mm tree.
However, I decided to withdraw it due to changes happening to the memcg
core at that time.  I had an idea of introducing per-memcg shrinkers for
kmem caches, but now, as memcg has finally settled down, I do not see it
as an option, because SLUB shrinker would be too costly to call since SLUB
does not keep free slabs on a separate list.  Besides, we currently do not
even call per-memcg shrinkers for offline memcgs.  Overall, it would
introduce much more complexity to both SLUB and memcg than this small
patch.

Regarding to SLAB, there's no problem with it, because it shrinks
per-cpu/node caches periodically.  Thanks to list_lru reparenting, we no
longer keep entries for offline cgroups in per-memcg arrays (such as
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches), so we do not have to bother if a
per-memcg cache will be shrunk a bit later than it could be.

Vladimir Davydov 2a4db7eb93 memcg: free memcg_caches slot on css offline
We need to look up a kmem_cache in ->memcg_params.memcg_caches arrays only
on allocations, so there is no need to have the array entries set until
css free - we can clear them on css offline.  This will allow us to reuse
array entries more efficiently and avoid costly array relocations.

Vladimir Davydov f1008365bb slab: use css id for naming per memcg caches
Currently, we use mem_cgroup->kmemcg_id to guarantee kmem_cache->name
uniqueness.  This is correct, because kmemcg_id is only released on css
free after destroying all per memcg caches.

However, I am going to change that and release kmemcg_id on css offline,
because it is not wise to keep it for so long, wasting valuable entries of
memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches arrays.  Therefore, to preserve cache
name uniqueness, let us switch to css->id.

Vladimir Davydov 426589f571 slab: link memcg caches of the same kind into a list
Sometimes, we need to iterate over all memcg copies of a particular root
kmem cache.  Currently, we use memcg_cache_params->memcg_caches array for
that, because it contains all existing memcg caches.

However, it's a bad practice to keep all caches, including those that
belong to offline cgroups, in this array, because it will be growing
beyond any bounds then.  I'm going to wipe away dead caches from it to
save space.  To still be able to perform iterations over all memcg caches
of the same kind, let us link them into a list.

Vladimir Davydov f7ce3190c4 slab: embed memcg_cache_params to kmem_cache
Currently, kmem_cache stores a pointer to struct memcg_cache_params
instead of embedding it.  The rationale is to save memory when kmem
accounting is disabled.  However, the memcg_cache_params has shrivelled
drastically since it was first introduced:

* Initially:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct list_head list;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
			bool dead;
			atomic_t nr_pages;
			struct work_struct destroy;
		};
	};
};

* Now:

struct memcg_cache_params {
	bool is_root_cache;
	union {
		struct {
			struct rcu_head rcu_head;
			struct kmem_cache *memcg_caches[0];
		};
		struct {
			struct mem_cgroup *memcg;
			struct kmem_cache *root_cache;
		};
	};
};

So the memory saving does not seem to be a clear win anymore.

OTOH, keeping a pointer to memcg_cache_params struct instead of embedding
it results in touching one more cache line on kmem alloc/free hot paths.
Besides, it makes linking kmem caches in a list chained by a field of
struct memcg_cache_params really painful due to a level of indirection,
while I want to make them linked in the following patch.  That said, let
us embed it.

Vladimir Davydov 05257a1a3d memcg: add rwsem to synchronize against memcg_caches arrays relocation
We need a stable value of memcg_nr_cache_ids in kmem_cache_create()
(memcg_alloc_cache_params() wants it for root caches), where we only
hold the slab_mutex and no memcg-related locks.  As a result, we have to
update memcg_nr_cache_ids under the slab_mutex, which we can only take
on the slab's side (see memcg_update_array_size).  This looks awkward
and will become even worse when per-memcg list_lru is introduced, which
also wants stable access to memcg_nr_cache_ids.

To get rid of this dependency between the memcg_nr_cache_ids and the
slab_mutex, this patch introduces a special rwsem.  The rwsem is held
for writing during memcg_caches arrays relocation and memcg_nr_cache_ids
updates.  Therefore one can take it for reading to get a stable access
to memcg_caches arrays and/or memcg_nr_cache_ids.

Currently the semaphore is taken for reading only from
kmem_cache_create, right before taking the slab_mutex, so right now
there's no much point in using rwsem instead of mutex.  However, once
list_lru is made per-memcg it will allow list_lru initializations to
proceed concurrently.

Vladimir Davydov dbcf73e26c memcg: rename some cache id related variables
memcg_limited_groups_array_size, which defines the size of memcg_caches
arrays, sounds rather cumbersome.  Also it doesn't point anyhow that
it's related to kmem/caches stuff.  So let's rename it to
memcg_nr_cache_ids.  It's concise and points us directly to
memcg_cache_id.

Also, rename kmem_limited_groups to memcg_cache_ida.

Vladimir Davydov d5b3cf7139 memcg: zap memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex
mem_cgroup->memcg_slab_caches is a list of kmem caches corresponding to
the given cgroup.  Currently, it is only used on css free in order to
destroy all caches corresponding to the memory cgroup being freed.  The
list is protected by memcg_slab_mutex.  The mutex is also used to protect
kmem_cache->memcg_params->memcg_caches arrays and synchronizes
kmem_cache_destroy vs memcg_unregister_all_caches.

However, we can perfectly get on without these two.  To destroy all caches
corresponding to a memory cgroup, we can walk over the global list of kmem
caches, slab_caches, and we can do all the synchronization stuff using the
slab_mutex instead of the memcg_slab_mutex.  This patch therefore gets rid
of the memcg_slab_caches and memcg_slab_mutex.

Apart from this nice cleanup, it also:

 - assures that rcu_barrier() is called once at max when a root cache is
   destroyed or a memory cgroup is freed, no matter how many caches have
   SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU flag set;

 - fixes the race between kmem_cache_destroy and kmem_cache_create that
   exists, because memcg_cleanup_cache_params, which is called from
   kmem_cache_destroy after checking that kmem_cache->refcount=0,
   releases the slab_mutex, which gives kmem_cache_create a chance to
   make an alias to a cache doomed to be destroyed.

Vladimir Davydov b047501cd9 memcg: use generic slab iterators for showing slabinfo
Let's use generic slab_start/next/stop for showing memcg caches info.  In
contrast to the current implementation, this will work even if all memcg
caches' info doesn't fit into a seq buffer (a page), plus it simply looks
neater.

Actually, the main reason I do this isn't mere cleanup.  I'm going to zap
the memcg_slab_caches list, because I find it useless provided we have the
slab_caches list, and this patch is a step in this direction.

It should be noted that before this patch an attempt to read
memory.kmem.slabinfo of a cgroup that doesn't have kmem limit set resulted
in -EIO, while after this patch it will silently show nothing except the
header, but I don't think it will frustrate anyone.

Joonsoo Kim 5436205738 mm/slab: reverse iteration on find_mergeable()
Unlike SLUB, sometimes, object isn't started at the beginning of the slab
in the SLAB.  This causes the unalignment problem when after slab merging
is supported by commit 12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge").
Alignment mismatch check is introduced ("mm/slab: fix unalignment problem
on Malta with EVA due to slab merge") to prevent merge in this case.

This causes undesirable result that merging happens between infrequently
used kmem_caches if there are kmem_caches with same size and is 256 bytes,
are merged into pool_workqueue rather than kmalloc-256, because
kmem_caches for kmalloc are at the tail of the list.

To prevent this situation, this patch reverses iteration order in
find_mergeable() to find frequently used kmem_caches.  This change helps
to merge kmem_cache to frequently used kmem_caches, such as kmalloc
kmem_caches.

Vladimir Davydov 1df3b26f20 slab: print slabinfo header in seq show
Currently we print the slabinfo header in the seq start method, which
makes it unusable for showing leaks, so we have leaks_show, which does
practically the same as s_show except it doesn't show the header.

However, we can print the header in the seq show method - we only need
to check if the current element is the first on the list.  This will
allow us to use the same set of seq iterators for both leaks and
slabinfo reporting, which is nice.

alloc_unbound_pwq() allocates slab object from pool_workqueue.  This
kmem_cache requires 256 bytes alignment, but, current merging code
doesn't honor that, and merge it with kmalloc-256.  kmalloc-256 requires
only cacheline size alignment so that above failure occurs.  However, in
x86, kmalloc-256 is luckily aligned in 256 bytes, so the problem didn't
happen on it.

To fix this problem, this patch introduces alignment mismatch check in
find_mergeable().  This will fix the problem.

Mikulas Patocka 8aba7e0a2c mm/slab_common: don't check for duplicate cache names
The SLUB cache merges caches with the same size and alignment and there
was long standing bug with this behavior:

 - create the cache named "foo"
 - create the cache named "bar" (which is merged with "foo")
 - delete the cache named "foo" (but it stays allocated because "bar"
   uses it)
 - create the cache named "foo" again - it fails because the name "foo"
   is already used

That bug was fixed in commit 694617474e ("slab_common: fix the check
for duplicate slab names") by not warning on duplicate cache names when
the SLUB subsystem is used.

Recently, cache merging was implemented the with SLAB subsystem too, in
12220dea07 ("mm/slab: support slab merge")).  Therefore we need stop
checking for duplicate names even for the SLAB subsystem.

This patch fixes the bug by removing the check.

Vladimir Davydov 6f817f4cda memcg: move memcg_update_cache_size() to slab_common.c
`While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
slab_common.c in a weird way:

  memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
    memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
      memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c

There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
slab's side though.  So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
per-memcg cache allocation functions.

Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
slab_common.c.

Vladimir Davydov 33a690c45b memcg: move memcg_{alloc,free}_cache_params to slab_common.c
The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
reference to the owner memory cgroup in them.  However, we can do that in
memcg_{un,}register_cache.  OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
to slab_common.c.

First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
memcontrol.h the better.  Since the functions I move don't depend on
memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.

Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
(memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
(memcg_update_array_size).  In the following patches I move the function
relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
therefore get rid this circular call path.  I think we should have the
cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
it's easier to follow the code then.  So I move arrays alloc/free
functions to slab_common.c too.

The third point isn't obvious.  I'm going to make the list_lru structure
per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim.  That means we will have
per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too.  It turns out that it's much easier to
update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
the stuff we need is defined there.  This patch makes memcg caches arrays
allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.

So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

Joonsoo Kim 423c929cbb mm/slab_common: commonize slab merge logic
Slab merge is good feature to reduce fragmentation.  Now, it is only
applied to SLUB, but, it would be good to apply it to SLAB.  This patch is
preparation step to apply slab merge to SLAB by commonizing slab merge
logic.

Joonsoo Kim 07f361b2be mm/slab_common: move kmem_cache definition to internal header
We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size().  According to my code inspection,
this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
it.  Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
internal header.

After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
kernel build.  For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
full kernel build.

Andrey Ryabinin 928cec9cd6 mm: move slab related stuff from util.c to slab_common.c
Functions krealloc(), __krealloc(), kzfree() belongs to slab API, so
should be placed in slab_common.c

Also move slab allocator's tracepoints defenitions to slab_common.c No
functional changes here.

Vladimir Davydov 0bd62b1190 slab: delete cache from list after __kmem_cache_shutdown succeeds
Currently, on kmem_cache_destroy we delete the cache from the slab_list
before __kmem_cache_shutdown, inserting it back to the list on failure.
Initially, this was done, because we could release the slab_mutex in
__kmem_cache_shutdown to delete sysfs slub entry, but since commit
41a212859a ("slub: use sysfs'es release mechanism for kmem_cache") we
remove sysfs entry later in kmem_cache_destroy after dropping the
slab_mutex, so that no implementation of __kmem_cache_shutdown can ever
release the lock.  Therefore we can simplify the code a bit by moving
list_del after __kmem_cache_shutdown.

Vladimir Davydov 073ee1c6cd memcg: get rid of memcg_create_cache_name
Instead of calling back to memcontrol.c from kmem_cache_create_memcg in
order to just create the name of a per memcg cache, let's allocate it in
place.  We only need to pass the memcg name to kmem_cache_create_memcg for
that - everything else can be done in slab_common.c.
