* memcg: kmem accounting lifecycle managementGlauber Costa2012-12-181-7/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because kmem charges can outlive the cgroup, we need to make sure that we won't free the memcg structure while charges are still in flight. For reviewing simplicity, the charge functions will issue mem_cgroup_get() at every charge, and mem_cgroup_put() at every uncharge. This can get expensive, however, and we can do better. mem_cgroup_get() only really needs to be issued once: when the first limit is set. In the same spirit, we only need to issue mem_cgroup_put() when the last charge is gone. We'll need an extra bit in kmem_account_flags for that: KMEM_ACCOUNTED_DEAD. it will be set when the cgroup dies, if there are charges in the group. If there aren't, we can proceed right away. Our uncharge function will have to test that bit every time the charges drop to 0. Because that is not the likely output of res_counter_uncharge, this should not impose a big hit on us: it is certainly much better than a reference count decrease at every operation.

* res_counter: return amount of charges after res_counter_uncharge()Glauber Costa2012-12-183-15/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is useful to know how many charges are still left after a call to res_counter_uncharge. While it is possible to issue a res_counter_read after uncharge, this can be racy. If we need, for instance, to take some action when the counters drop down to 0, only one of the callers should see it. This is the same semantics as the atomic variables in the kernel. Since the current return value is void, we don't need to worry about anything breaking due to this change: nobody relied on that, and only users appearing from now on will be checking this value.

* mm: allocate kernel pages to the right memcgGlauber Costa2012-12-182-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a process tries to allocate a page with the __GFP_KMEMCG flag, the page allocator will call the corresponding memcg functions to validate the allocation. Tasks in the root memcg can always proceed. To avoid adding markers to the page - and a kmem flag that would necessarily follow, as much as doing page_cgroup lookups for no reason, whoever is marking its allocations with __GFP_KMEMCG flag is responsible for telling the page allocator that this is such an allocation at free_pages() time. This is done by the invocation of __free_accounted_pages() and free_accounted_pages().

* memcg: kmem controller infrastructureGlauber Costa2012-12-182-0/+280
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce infrastructure for tracking kernel memory pages to a given memcg. This will happen whenever the caller includes the flag __GFP_KMEMCG flag, and the task belong to a memcg other than the root. In memcontrol.h those functions are wrapped in inline acessors. The idea is to later on, patch those with static branches, so we don't incur any overhead when no mem cgroups with limited kmem are being used. Users of this functionality shall interact with the memcg core code through the following functions: memcg_kmem_newpage_charge: will return true if the group can handle the allocation. At this point, struct page is not yet allocated. memcg_kmem_commit_charge: will either revert the charge, if struct page allocation failed, or embed memcg information into page_cgroup. memcg_kmem_uncharge_page: called at free time, will revert the charge.

* memcg: kmem accounting basic infrastructureGlauber Costa2012-12-182-3/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the basic infrastructure for the accounting of kernel memory. To control that, the following files are created: * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes * memory.kmem.failcnt * memory.kmem.max_usage_in_bytes They have the same meaning of their user memory counterparts. They reflect the state of the "kmem" res_counter. Per cgroup kmem memory accounting is not enabled until a limit is set for the group. Once the limit is set the accounting cannot be disabled for that group. This means that after the patch is applied, no behavioral changes exists for whoever is still using memcg to control their memory usage, until memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes is set for the first time. We always account to both user and kernel resource_counters. This effectively means that an independent kernel limit is in place when the limit is set to a lower value than the user memory. A equal or higher value means that the user limit will always hit first, meaning that kmem is effectively unlimited. People who want to track kernel memory but not limit it, can set this limit to a very high number (like RESOURCE_MAX - 1page - that no one will ever hit, or equal to the user memory) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: MEMCG_MMEM only works with slab and slub] Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Acked-by: Kamezawa Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@redhat.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: JoonSoo Kim <js1304@gmail.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* memcg: reclaim when more than one page neededSuleiman Souhlal2012-12-181-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | mem_cgroup_do_charge() was written before kmem accounting, and expects three cases: being called for 1 page, being called for a stock of 32 pages, or being called for a hugepage. If we call for 2 or 3 pages (and both the stack and several slabs used in process creation are such, at least with the debug options I had), it assumed it's being called for stock and just retried without reclaiming. Fix that by passing down a minsize argument in addition to the csize. And what to do about that (csize == PAGE_SIZE && ret) retry? If it's needed at all (and presumably is since it's there, perhaps to handle races), then it should be extended to more than PAGE_SIZE, yet how far? And should there be a retry count limit, of what? For now retry up to COSTLY_ORDER (as page_alloc.c does) and make sure not to do it if __GFP_NORETRY. v4: fixed nr pages calculation pointed out by Christoph Lameter.

* memcg: make it possible to use the stock for more than one pageSuleiman Souhlal2012-12-181-10/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently have a percpu stock cache scheme that charges one page at a time from memcg->res, the user counter. When the kernel memory controller comes into play, we'll need to charge more than that. This is because kernel memory allocations will also draw from the user counter, and can be bigger than a single page, as it is the case with the stack (usually 2 pages) or some higher order slabs.

Under these circumstances, the compound page should be destroyed by destroy_compound_page(). However, there is a duplicate check to judge if the page is compound.

* h8300: select generic atomic64_t supportFengguang Wu2012-12-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rationales from Eric: So I just looked a little deeper and it appears architectures that do not support atomic64_t are broken. The generic atomic64 support came in 2009 to support the perf subsystem with the expectation that all architectures would implement atomic64 support. Furthermore upon inspection of the kernel atomic64_t is used in a fair number of places beyond the performance counters: block/blk-cgroup.c drivers/acpi/apei/ drivers/block/rbd.c drivers/crypto/nx/nx.h drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.h drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/ drivers/staging/octeon/ fs/xfs/ include/linux/perf_event.h include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.h kernel/events/ kernel/trace/ net/mac80211/key.h net/rds/ The block control group, infiniband, xfs, crypto, 802.11, netfilter. Nothing quite so fundamental as fs/namespace.c but definitely in multiplatform-code that should work, and is already broken on those architecutres. Looking at the implementation of atomic64_add_return in lib/atomic64.c the code looks as efficient as these kinds of things get. Which leads me to the conclusion that we need atomic64 support on all architectures. Signed-off-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: "Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages().

Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area. The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is preferred over slub's generic "slab".

This is the necessary step for preventing a race. After taking a lock, then we try to cmpxchg_double_slab(). But, there is a possible scenario that cmpxchg_double_slab() is failed with taking a lock. Following example explains it. CPU A CPU B need lock ... need lock ... lock!! lock..but spin free success spin... unlock lock!! free fail In this case, retry with taking a lock is occured in CPU A. I think that in this case for CPU A, "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" is preferable way. There are two reasons for this. First, this makes __slab_free()'s logic somehow simple. With this patch, 'was_frozen = 1' is "always" handled without taking a lock. So we can remove one code path. Second, it may reduce lock contention. When we do retrying, status of slab is already changed, so we don't need a lock anymore in almost every case. "release a lock first, and re-take a lock if necessary" policy is helpful to this.

Which made the following nasty sequence possible. pid = clone(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNS); if (pid == 0) { /* child */ system("mount --bind /home/me/passwd /etc/passwd"); } else if (pid != 0) { /* parent */ char path[PATH_MAX]; snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/proc/%u/ns/mnt"); fd = open(path, O_RDONLY); setns(fd, 0); system("su -"); } Prevent this possibility by requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current user namespace when joing all but the user namespace.

Add a test to ensure the owner of a user namespace is in the parent of the user namespace to fix this bug. Thankfully this bug did not apply to the initial user namespace, keeping the mischief that can be caused by this bug quite small. This is bug was introduced in v3.5 by commit 783291e6900 "Simplify the user_namespace by making userns->creator a kuid." But did not matter until the permisions required to create a user namespace were relaxed allowing a user namespace to be created inside of a user namespace. The bug made it possible for the owner of a user namespace to be present in a child user namespace. Since the owner of a user nameapce is granted all capabilities it became possible for users in a grandchild user namespace to have all privilges over their parent user namspace. Reorder the checks in cap_capable. This should make the common case faster and make it clear that nothing magic happens in the initial user namespace. The reordering is safe because cred->user_ns can only be in targ_ns or targ_ns->parent but not both. Add a comment a the top of the loop to make the logic of the code clear. Add a distinct variable ns that changes as we walk up the user namespace hierarchy to make it clear which variable is changing.
