2008-08-05SLUB: dynamic per-cache MIN_PARTIALPekka Enberg1-7/+19
This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more pages we keep on the partial list. I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al. To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository: git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git and then run the following command n times on your machine: time ./fio examples/netio The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows: [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ] real time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17 SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72 SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20 sys time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 6.90 8.28 7.70 0.28 SLUB 7.42 16.95 8.89 2.28 SLUB (dynamic) 7.17 8.64 7.73 0.29 user time (seconds) min max avg sd SLAB 36.89 38.11 37.50 0.29 SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67 SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32 As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close to the size of a page.

Is there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it has been freed?" Good analysis. Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc() can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its 'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback). At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an obsolete pointer...

If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that the divide doesn't overflow. The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and produces worse code on 64bit archs. There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few users to the new API.

2008-04-30infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objectsThomas Gleixner1-0/+3
We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

2008-04-28mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idxMel Gorman1-1/+1
Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx(). This is costly as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation. As the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible. The node idx could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily used. This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone index. The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which are looked up as necessary. Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as well as the node index.

2008-04-28mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP maskMel Gorman1-3/+5
Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations. Based on the zones allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected. All of these zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines. This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists. The first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages. The second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE allocations. An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

This can be used to override the objects per slabs value establisheed with the slub_min_objects setting that was manually specified or calculated on bootup. The changes of the slab order can occur while allocate_slab() runs. Allocate slab needs the order and the number of slab objects that are both changed by the change of order. Both are put into a single word (struct kmem_cache_order_objects). They can then be atomically updated and retrieved.

The fallback will waste more memory (objects will not fit neatly) and the fallback slabs will be not as efficient as larger slabs since they contain less objects. Note that SLAB also depends on order 1 allocations for some slabs that waste too much memory if forced into PAGE_SIZE'd page. SLUB now can now deal with failing order 1 allocs which SLAB cannot do. Add a new field min that will contain the objects for the smallest possible order for a slab cache.

2008-04-27slub: Update statistics handling for variable order slabsChristoph Lameter1-53/+97
Change the statistics to consider that slabs of the same slabcache can have different number of objects in them since they may be of different order. Provide a new sysfs field total_objects which shows the total objects that the allocated slabs of a slabcache could hold. Add a max field that holds the largest slab order that was ever used for a slab cache. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
2008-04-27slub: Add kmem_cache_order_objects structChristoph Lameter1-25/+51
Pack the order and the number of objects into a single word. This saves some memory in the kmem_cache_structure and more importantly allows us to fetch both values atomically. Later the slab orders become runtime configurable and we need to fetch these two items together in order to properly allocate a slab and initialize its objects. Fix the race by fetching the order and the number of objects in one word.

2008-04-27slub: Store max number of objects in the page struct.Christoph Lameter1-20/+34
Split the inuse field up to be able to store the number of objects in this page in the page struct as well. Necessary if we want to have pages of various orders for a slab. Also avoids touching struct kmem_cache cachelines in __slab_alloc(). Update diagnostic code to check the number of objects and make sure that the number of objects always stays within the bounds of a 16 bit unsigned integer.

2008-04-27slub: free_list() cleanupChristoph Lameter1-11/+7
free_list looked a bit screwy so here is an attempt to clean it up. free_list is is only used for freeing partial lists. We do not need to return a parameter if we decrement nr_partial within the function which allows a simplification of the whole thing. The current version modifies nr_partial outside of the list_lock which is technically not correct. It was only ok because we should be the only user of this slab cache at this point.

2008-04-27slub: improve kmem_cache_destroy() error messagePekka Enberg1-2/+5
As pointed out by Ingo, the SLUB warning of calling kmem_cache_destroy() with cache that still has objects triggers in practice. So turn this WARN_ON() into a nice SLUB specific error message to avoid people confusing it to a SLUB bug.

2008-04-14slub: No need for per node slab counters if !SLUB_DEBUGChristoph Lameter1-11/+40
The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API. If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance benefit to embedded systems. SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which is on by default). Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab() if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

2008-04-14slub: Deal with config variable dependenciesChristoph Lameter1-15/+15
count_partial() is used by both slabinfo and the sysfs proc support. Move the function directly before the beginning of the sysfs code so that it can be easily found. Rework the preprocessor conditional to take into account that slub sysfs support depends on CONFIG_SYSFS *and* CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG. Make CONFIG_SLUB_STATS depend on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and CONFIG_SYSFS. There is no point of keeping statistics if no one can restrive them. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
