mm: change inlined allocation helpers to account at the call site

2024-04-26T03:55:59+00:00

Main goal of memory allocation profiling patchset is to provide accounting that is cheap enough to run in production. To achieve that we inject counters using codetags at the allocation call sites to account every time allocation is made. This injection allows us to perform accounting efficiently because injected counters are immediately available as opposed to the alternative methods, such as using _RET_IP_, which would require counter lookup and appropriate locking that makes accounting much more expensive. This method requires all allocation functions to inject separate counters at their call sites so that their callers can be individually accounted. Counter injection is implemented by allocation hooks which should wrap all allocation functions. Inlined functions which perform allocations but do not use allocation hooks are directly charged for the allocations they perform. In most cases these functions are just specialized allocation wrappers used from multiple places to allocate objects of a specific type. It would be more useful to do the accounting at their call sites instead. Instrument these helpers to do accounting at the call site. Simple inlined allocation wrappers are converted directly into macros. More complex allocators or allocators with documentation are converted into _noprof versions and allocation hooks are added. This allows memory allocation profiling mechanism to charge allocations to the callers of these functions.

netlink: add nlmsg_consume() and use it in devlink compat

2024-04-06T17:20:14+00:00

devlink_compat_running_version() sticks out when running netdevsim tests and watching dropped skbs. Add nlmsg_consume() for cases were we want to free a netlink skb but it is expected, rather than a drop. af_netlink code uses consume_skb() directly, which is fine, but some may prefer the symmetry of nlmsg_new() / nlmsg_consume().

netlink: introduce type-checking attribute iteration

2024-03-29T22:06:02+00:00

There are, especially with multi-attr arrays, many cases of needing to iterate all attributes of a specific type in a netlink message or a nested attribute. Add specific macros to support that case. Also convert many instances using this spatch: @@ iterator nla_for_each_attr; iterator name nla_for_each_attr_type; identifier nla; expression head, len, rem; expression ATTR; type T; identifier x; @@ -nla_for_each_attr(nla, head, len, rem) +nla_for_each_attr_type(nla, ATTR, head, len, rem) { <...

genetlink: introduce helpers to do filtered multicast

2023-12-19T14:31:40+00:00

Currently it is possible for netlink kernel user to pass custom filter function to broadcast send function netlink_broadcast_filtered(). However, this is not exposed to multicast send and to generic netlink users. Extend the api and introduce a netlink helper nlmsg_multicast_filtered() and a generic netlink helper genlmsg_multicast_netns_filtered() to allow generic netlink families to specify filter function while sending multicast messages.

netlink: Return unsigned value for nla_len()

2023-12-08T19:03:32+00:00

The return value from nla_len() is never expected to be negative, and can never be more than struct nlattr::nla_len (a u16). Adjust the prototype on the function. This will let GCC's value range optimization passes know that the return can never be negative, and can never be larger than u16. As recently discussed[1], this silences the following warning in GCC 12+: net/wireless/nl80211.c: In function 'nl80211_set_cqm_rssi.isra': net/wireless/nl80211.c:12892:17: warning: 'memcpy' specified bound 18446744073709551615 exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Wstringop-overflow=] 12892 | memcpy(cqm_config->rssi_thresholds, thresholds, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12893 | flex_array_size(cqm_config, rssi_thresholds, | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12894 | n_thresholds)); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A future change would be to clamp the subtraction to make sure it never wraps around if nla_len is somehow less than NLA_HDRLEN, which would have the additional benefit of being defensive in the face of nlattr corruption or logic errors.

netlink: add variable-length / auto integers

2023-10-20T10:43:35+00:00

We currently push everyone to use padding to align 64b values in netlink. Un-padded nla_put_u64() doesn't even exist any more. The story behind this possibly start with this thread: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20121204.130914.1457976839967676240.davem@davemloft.net/ where DaveM was concerned about the alignment of a structure containing 64b stats. If user space tries to access such struct directly: struct some_stats *stats = nla_data(attr); printf("A: %llu", stats->a); lack of alignment may become problematic for some architectures. These days we most often put every single member in a separate attribute, meaning that the code above would use a helper like nla_get_u64(), which can deal with alignment internally. Even for arches which don't have good unaligned access - access aligned to 4B should be pretty efficient. Kernel and well known libraries deal with unaligned input already. Padded 64b is quite space-inefficient (64b + pad means at worst 16B per attr vs 32b which takes 8B). It is also more typing: if (nla_put_u64_pad(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_PAD)) Create a new attribute type which will use 32 bits at netlink level if value is small enough (probably most of the time?), and (4B-aligned) 64 bits otherwise. Kernel API is just: if (nla_put_uint(rsp, NETDEV_A_SOMETHING_SOMETHING, value)) Calling this new type "just" sint / uint with no specific size will hopefully also make people more comfortable with using it. Currently telling people "don't use u8, you may need the bits, and netlink will round up to 4B, anyway" is the #1 comment we give to newcomers. In terms of netlink layout it looks like this: 0 4 8 12 16 32b: [nlattr][ u32 ] 64b: [ pad ][nlattr][ u64 ] uint(32) [nlattr][ u32 ] uint(64) [nlattr][ u64 ] Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Acked-by: Nicolas Dichtel Signed-off-by: David S.
