It is possible to clear debug flags for an "unmergeable" slab cache in kmem_cache_open(). It makes the "unmergeable" cache became "mergeable" in sysfs_slab_add(). These caches will generate their "unique IDs" by create_unique_id(), but it is possible to create identical unique IDs. In my experiment, sgpool-128, names_cache, biovec-256 generate the same ID ":Ft-0004096" and the kernel reports "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/kernel/slab/:Ft-0004096'". To repeat my experiment, set disable_higher_order_debug=1, CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON=y in kernel-4.14. Fix this issue by setting unmergeable=1 if slub_debug=O and the the default slub_debug contains any no-merge flags. call path: kmem_cache_create() __kmem_cache_alias() -> we set SLAB_NEVER_MERGE flags here create_cache() __kmem_cache_create() kmem_cache_open() -> clear DEBUG_METADATA_FLAGS sysfs_slab_add() -> the slab cache is mergeable now [ 0.674272] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/kernel/slab/:Ft-0004096' [ 0.674473] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 0.674653] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x7c [ 0.674847] Modules linked in: [ 0.674969] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G W 4.14.0-rc7ajb-00131-gd4c2e9f-dirty #123 [ 0.675211] Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) [ 0.675342] task: ffffffc07d4e0080 task.stack: ffffff8008008000 [ 0.675505] PC is at sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x7c [ 0.675633] LR is at sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x7c [ 0.675759] pc : [<ffffff8008235808>] lr : [<ffffff8008235808>] pstate: 60000145 [ 0.675948] sp : ffffff800800bb40 [ 0.676048] x29: ffffff800800bb40 x28: 0000000000000040 [ 0.676209] x27: ffffffc07c52a380 x26: 0000000000000000 [ 0.676369] x25: ffffff8008af4ad0 x24: ffffff8008af4000 [ 0.676528] x23: ffffffc07c532580 x22: ffffffc07cf04598 [ 0.676695] x21: ffffffc07cf26578 x20: ffffffc07c533700 [ 0.676857] x19: ffffffc07ce67000 x18: 0000000000000002 [ 0.677017] x17: 0000000000007ffe x16: 0000000000000007 [ 0.677176] x15: 0000000000000001 x14: 0000000000007fff [ 0.677335] x13: 0000000000000394 x12: 0000000000000000 [ 0.677492] x11: 00000000000001ab x10: 0000000000000007 [ 0.677651] x9 : 00000000000001ac x8 : ffffff800835d114 [ 0.677809] x7 : 656b2f2720656d61 x6 : 0000000000000017 [ 0.677967] x5 : ffffffc07ffdb9a8 x4 : 0000000000000000 [ 0.678124] x3 : 0000000000000000 x2 : ffffffffffffffff [ 0.678282] x1 : ffffff8008a4e878 x0 : 0000000000000042 [ 0.678442] Call trace: [ 0.678528] Exception stack(0xffffff800800ba00 to 0xffffff800800bb40) [ 0.678706] ba00: 0000000000000042 ffffff8008a4e878 ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 [ 0.678914] ba20: 0000000000000000 ffffffc07ffdb9a8 0000000000000017 656b2f2720656d61 [ 0.679121] ba40: ffffff800835d114 00000000000001ac 0000000000000007 00000000000001ab [ 0.679326] ba60: 0000000000000000 0000000000000394 0000000000007fff 0000000000000001 [ 0.679532] ba80: 0000000000000007 0000000000007ffe 0000000000000002 ffffffc07ce67000 [ 0.679739] baa0: ffffffc07c533700 ffffffc07cf26578 ffffffc07cf04598 ffffffc07c532580 [ 0.679944] bac0: ffffff8008af4000 ffffff8008af4ad0 0000000000000000 ffffffc07c52a380 [ 0.680149] bae0: 0000000000000040 ffffff800800bb40 ffffff8008235808 ffffff800800bb40 [ 0.680354] bb00: ffffff8008235808 0000000060000145 ffffffc07c533700 0000000062616c73 [ 0.680560] bb20: ffffffffffffffff 0000000000000000 ffffff800800bb40 ffffff8008235808 [ 0.680774] [<ffffff8008235808>] sysfs_warn_dup+0x60/0x7c [ 0.680928] [<ffffff8008235920>] sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x98/0xa0 [ 0.681095] [<ffffff8008539274>] kobject_add_internal+0xa0/0x294 [ 0.681267] [<ffffff80085394f8>] kobject_init_and_add+0x90/0xb4 [ 0.681435] [<ffffff80081b524c>] sysfs_slab_add+0x90/0x200 [ 0.681592] [<ffffff80081b62a0>] __kmem_cache_create+0x26c/0x438 [ 0.681769] [<ffffff80081858a4>] kmem_cache_create+0x164/0x1f4 [ 0.681940] [<ffffff80086caa98>] sg_pool_init+0x60/0x100 [ 0.682094] [<ffffff8008084144>] do_one_initcall+0x38/0x12c [ 0.682254] [<ffffff80086a0d10>] kernel_init_freeable+0x138/0x1d4 [ 0.682423] [<ffffff8008547388>] kernel_init+0x10/0xfc [ 0.682571] [<ffffff80080851e0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1510365805-5155-1-git-send-email-miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- diff -puN mm/slub.c~slub-fix-sysfs-duplicate-filename-creation-when-slub_debug=o mm/slub.c --- a/mm/slub.c~slub-fix-sysfs-duplicate-filename-creation-when-slub_debug=o +++ a/mm/slub.c @@ -5706,6 +5706,10 @@ static int sysfs_slab_add(struct kmem_ca return 0; } + if (!unmergeable && disable_higher_order_debug && + (slub_debug & DEBUG_METADATA_FLAGS)) + unmergeable = 1; + if (unmergeable) { /* * Slabcache can never be merged so we can use the name proper. _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx are dma-debug-fix-incorrect-pfn-calculation.patch mm-slob-remove-an-unnecessary-check-for-__gfp_zero.patch slub-fix-sysfs-duplicate-filename-creation-when-slub_debug=o.patch checkpatch-support-function-pointers-for-unnamed-function-definition-arguments.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
