[ Upstream commit bb1107f7c6052c863692a41f78c000db792334bf ]
Andrey Konovalov has reported the following warning triggered by the
syzkaller fuzzer.

The issue is caused by a lack of size check for the request size in
ep_write_iter which should be fixed. It, however, points to another
problem, that SLUB defines KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE too large because the its
KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX is (MAX_ORDER + PAGE_SHIFT) which means that the
resulting page allocator request might be MAX_ORDER which is too large
(see __alloc_pages_slowpath).
The same applies to the SLOB allocator which allows even larger sizes.
Make sure that they are capped properly and never request more than
MAX_ORDER order.

With this patch kasan will be able to catch bugs in memory allocated by
slub. Initially all objects in newly allocated slab page, marked as
redzone. Later, when allocation of slub object happens, requested by
caller number of bytes marked as accessible, and the rest of the object
(including slub's metadata) marked as redzone (inaccessible).
We also mark object as accessible if ksize was called for this object.
There is some places in kernel where ksize function is called to inquire
size of really allocated area. Such callers could validly access whole
allocated memory, so it should be marked as accessible.
Code in slub.c and slab_common.c files could validly access to object's
metadata, so instrumentation for this files are disabled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Suppose task @t that belongs to a memory cgroup @memcg is going to
allocate an object from a kmem cache @c. The copy of @c corresponding to
@memcg, @mc, is empty. Then if kmem_cache_alloc races with the memory
cgroup destruction we can access the memory cgroup's copy of the cache
after it was destroyed:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[ current=@t
@mc->memcg_params->nr_pages=0 ]
kmem_cache_alloc(@c):
call memcg_kmem_get_cache(@c);
proceed to allocation from @mc:
alloc a page for @mc:
...
move @t from @memcg
destroy @memcg:
mem_cgroup_css_offline(@memcg):
memcg_unregister_all_caches(@memcg):
kmem_cache_destroy(@mc)
add page to @mc
We could fix this issue by taking a reference to a per-memcg cache, but
that would require adding a per-cpu reference counter to per-memcg caches,
which would look cumbersome.
Instead, let's take a reference to a memory cgroup, which already has a
per-cpu reference counter, in the beginning of kmem_cache_alloc to be
dropped in the end, and move per memcg caches destruction from css offline
to css free. As a side effect, per-memcg caches will be destroyed not one
by one, but all at once when the last page accounted to the memory cgroup
is freed. This doesn't sound as a high price for code readability though.
Note, this patch does add some overhead to the kmem_cache_alloc hot path,
but it is pretty negligible - it's just a function call plus a per cpu
counter decrement, which is comparable to what we already have in
memcg_kmem_get_cache. Besides, it's only relevant if there are memory
cgroups with kmem accounting enabled. I don't think we can find a way to
handle this race w/o it, because alloc_page called from kmem_cache_alloc
may sleep so we can't flush all pending kmallocs w/o reference counting.

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.

Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled. If they are
disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling
__kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore,
default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that
it's okay to change this situation.
After this change, we can turn on/off CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB without full
kernel build and remove some complicated '#if' defintion. It looks more
benefitial to me.

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.

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.

At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
memcg kmem caches:
- slab_mutex. This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache
memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking
it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is
private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it
and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.
- activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize
initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can
grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see
__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).
- We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for
destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg
slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.
The mutexes are taken in the following order:
activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex
Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:
- We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in
mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.
- We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just
don't bother about it.
This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking
order is following:
activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex
This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.
Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.
The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.

This patchset is a part of preparations for kmemcg re-parenting. It
targets at simplifying kmemcg work-flows and synchronization.
First, it removes async per memcg cache destruction (see patches 1, 2).
Now caches are only destroyed on memcg offline. That means the caches
that are not empty on memcg offline will be leaked. However, they are
already leaked, because memcg_cache_params::nr_pages normally never drops
to 0 so the destruction work is never scheduled except kmem_cache_shrink
is called explicitly. In the future I'm planning reaping such dead caches
on vmpressure or periodically.
Second, it substitutes per memcg slab_caches_mutex's with the global
memcg_slab_mutex, which should be taken during the whole per memcg cache
creation/destruction path before the slab_mutex (see patch 3). This
greatly simplifies synchronization among various per memcg cache
creation/destruction paths.
I'm still not quite sure about the end picture, in particular I don't know
whether we should reap dead memcgs' kmem caches periodically or try to
merge them with their parents (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/20/38 for
more details), but whichever way we choose, this set looks like a
reasonable change to me, because it greatly simplifies kmemcg work-flows
and eases further development.
This patch (of 3):
After a memcg is offlined, we mark its kmem caches that cannot be deleted
right now due to pending objects as dead by setting the
memcg_cache_params::dead flag, so that memcg_release_pages will schedule
cache destruction (memcg_cache_params::destroy) as soon as the last slab
of the cache is freed (memcg_cache_params::nr_pages drops to zero).
I guess the idea was to destroy the caches as soon as possible, i.e.
immediately after freeing the last object. However, it just doesn't work
that way, because kmem caches always preserve some pages for the sake of
performance, so that nr_pages never gets to zero unless the cache is
shrunk explicitly using kmem_cache_shrink. Of course, we could account
the total number of objects on the cache or check if all the slabs
allocated for the cache are empty on kmem_cache_free and schedule
destruction if so, but that would be too costly.
Thus we have a piece of code that works only when we explicitly call
kmem_cache_shrink, but complicates the whole picture a lot. Moreover,
it's racy in fact. For instance, kmem_cache_shrink may free the last slab
and thus schedule cache destruction before it finishes checking that the
cache is empty, which can lead to use-after-free.
So I propose to remove this async cache destruction from
memcg_release_pages, and check if the cache is empty explicitly after
calling kmem_cache_shrink instead. This will simplify things a lot w/o
introducing any functional changes.
And regarding dead memcg caches (i.e. those that are left hanging around
after memcg offline for they have objects), I suppose we should reap them
either periodically or on vmpressure as Glauber suggested initially. I'm
going to implement this later.

Currently to allocate a page that should be charged to kmemcg (e.g.
threadinfo), we pass __GFP_KMEMCG flag to the page allocator. The page
allocated is then to be freed by free_memcg_kmem_pages. Apart from
looking asymmetrical, this also requires intrusion to the general
allocation path. So let's introduce separate functions that will
alloc/free pages charged to kmemcg.
The new functions are called alloc_kmem_pages and free_kmem_pages. They
should be used when the caller actually would like to use kmalloc, but
has to fall back to the page allocator for the allocation is large.
They only differ from alloc_pages and free_pages in that besides
allocating or freeing pages they also charge them to the kmem resource
counter of the current memory cgroup.

Memcg-awareness turned kmem_cache_create() into a dirty interweaving of
memcg-only and except-for-memcg calls. To clean this up, let's move the
code responsible for memcg cache creation to a separate function.

commit 'slab: restrict the number of objects in a slab' uses
__builtin_constant_p() on #if macro. It is wrong usage of builtin
function, but it is compiled on x86 without any problem, so I can't
find it before 0 day build system find it.
This commit fixes the situation by using KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE, instead of
KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW. KMALLOC_SHIFT_LOW is parsed to ilog2() on some
architecture and this ilog2() uses __builtin_constant_p() and results in
the problem. This problem would disappear by using KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE,
since it is just constant.

GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
remote nodes. It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
when the fallback fails, e.g. through a subsequent allocation request
without GFP_THISNODE set.
However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
triggering reclaim if necessary. This results in things like page
migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.
Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
to __GFP_THISNODE. This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
happen when memory is full.

To prepare to implement byte sized index for managing the freelist
of a slab, we should restrict the number of objects in a slab to be less
or equal to 256, since byte only represent 256 different values.
Setting the size of object to value equal or more than newly introduced
SLAB_OBJ_MIN_SIZE ensures that the number of objects in a slab is less or
equal to 256 for a slab with 1 page.
If page size is rather larger than 4096, above assumption would be wrong.
In this case, we would fall back on 2 bytes sized index.
If minimum size of kmalloc is less than 16, we use it as minimum object
size and give up this optimization.

On x86, SLUB creates and handles <=8192-byte allocations internally.
It passes larger ones up to the allocator. Saying "up to order 2" is,
at best, ambiguous. Is that order-1? Or (order-2 bytes)? Make
it more clear.
SLOB commits a similar sin. It *handles* page-size requests, but the
comment says that it passes up "all page size and larger requests".
SLOB also swaps around the order of the very-similarly-named
KMALLOC_SHIFT_HIGH and KMALLOC_SHIFT_MAX #defines. Make it
consistent with the order of the other two allocators.

We relocate root cache's memcg_params whenever we need to grow the
memcg_caches array to accommodate all kmem-active memory cgroups.
Currently on relocation we free the old version immediately, which can
lead to use-after-free, because the memcg_caches array is accessed
lock-free (see cache_from_memcg_idx()). This patch fixes this by making
memcg_params RCU-protected for root caches.

The kmalloc* functions of all slab allcoators are similar now so
lets move them into slab.h. This requires some function naming changes
in slob.
As a results of this patch there is a common set of functions for
all allocators. Also means that kmalloc_large() is now available
in general to perform large order allocations that go directly
via the page allocator. kmalloc_large() can be substituted if
kmalloc() throws warnings because of too large allocations.
kmalloc_large() has exactly the same semantics as kmalloc but
can only used for allocations > PAGE_SIZE.

At the moment, kmalloc() isn't even listed in the kernel API
documentation (DocBook/kernel-api.html after running "make htmldocs").
Another issue is that the documentation for kmalloc_node()
refers to kcalloc()'s documentation to describe its 'flags' parameter,
while kcalloc() refered to kmalloc()'s documentation, which doesn't exist!
This patch is a proposed fix for this. It also removes the documentation
for kmalloc() in include/linux/slob_def.h which isn't included to
generate the documentation anyway. This way, kmalloc() is described
in only one place.

SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When
creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the
parent cache already had.
This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the
cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are
created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific.
Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that
do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is
called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then
things work as expected.
It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during
normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to
all caches that are already active.
This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in
memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which
memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create()

Allow a memcg parameter to be passed during cache creation. When the slub
allocator is being used, it will only merge caches that belong to the same
memcg. We'll do this by scanning the global list, and then translating
the cache to a memcg-specific cache
Default function is created as a wrapper, passing NULL to the memcg
version. We only merge caches that belong to the same memcg.
A helper is provided, memcg_css_id: because slub needs a unique cache name
for sysfs. Since this is visible, but not the canonical location for slab
data, the cache name is not used, the css_id should suffice.

Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators.
A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is
required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given.
After that it will be possible to share code that
only operates on those fields of kmem_cache.
The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and
uses the field namees for the other allocators.
It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in
allocators:
object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically
the payload expected to be used by the subsystem.
size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size
is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment
