[PATCH V4 1/2] slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not
allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop,
due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache().

This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.

As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook()
to be able to handle an array of objects.

A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook()
must have same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the
compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all
debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing.
 Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with
GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow

In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation
of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and
access object directly.

V4:
 - Adjust slab_alloc_node() to have @object be correct type.
 Did objdump to verify compiler optimized out loop and &addr of @object
 Wrote tool/module to test memory exhaust for error path testing

V3:
 Addressed and used suggetions from Vladimir
