I haven't heard that this alien cache lock is contended, but to reduce chance of contention would be better generally. And with this change, we can simplify complex lockdep annotation in slab code. In the following patch, it will be implemented. Signed-off-by:

Now, we have separate alien_cache structure, so it'd be better to hold the lock on alien_cache while manipulating alien_cache. After that, we don't need the lock on array_cache, so remove it. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we use array_cache for alien_cache. Although they are mostly similar, there is one difference, that is, need for spinlock. We don't need spinlock for array_cache itself, but to use array_cache for alien_cache, array_cache structure should have spinlock. This is needless overhead, so removing it would be better. This patch prepare it by introducing alien_cache and using it. In the following patch, we remove spinlock in array_cache. Signed-off-by:

In free_block(), if freeing object makes new free slab and number of free_objects exceeds free_limit, we start to destroy this new free slab with holding the kmem_cache node lock. Holding the lock is useless and, generally, holding a lock as least as possible is good thing. I never measure performance effect of this, but we'd be better not to hold the lock as much as possible. Commented by Christoph: This is also good because kmem_cache_free is no longer called while holding the node lock. So we avoid one case of recursion. Signed-off-by:

node isn't changed, so we don't need to retreive this structure everytime we move the object. Maybe compiler do this optimization, but making it explicitly is better. Signed-off-by:

This patchset does some cleanup and tries to remove lockdep annotation. Patches 1~2 are just for really really minor improvement. Patches 3~9 are for clean-up and removing lockdep annotation. There are two cases that lockdep annotation is needed in SLAB. 1) holding two node locks 2) holding two array cache(alien cache) locks I looked at the code and found that we can avoid these cases without any negative effect. 1) occurs if freeing object makes new free slab and we decide to destroy it. Although we don't need to hold the lock during destroying a slab, current code do that. Destroying a slab without holding the lock would help the reduction of the lock contention. To do it, I change the implementation that new free slab is destroyed after releasing the lock. 2) occurs on similar situation. When we free object from non-local node, we put this object to alien cache with holding the alien cache lock. If alien cache is full, we try to flush alien cache to proper node cache, and, in this time, new free slab could be made. Destroying it would be started and we will free metadata object which comes from another node. In this case, we need another node's alien cache lock to free object. This forces us to hold two array cache locks and then we need lockdep annotation although they are always different locks and deadlock cannot be possible. To prevent this situation, I use same way as 1). In this way, we can avoid 1) and 2) cases, and then, can remove lockdep annotation. As short stat noted, this makes SLAB code much simpler. This patch (of 9): slab_should_failslab() is called on every allocation, so to optimize it is reasonable. We normally don't allocate from kmem_cache. It is just used when new kmem_cache is created, so it's very rare case. Therefore, add unlikely macro to help compiler optimization. Signed-off-by:

There are two versions of alloc/free hooks now - one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=y and another one for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n. I see no reason why calls to other debugging subsystems (LOCKDEP, DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP, KMEMCHECK and FAILSLAB) are hidden under SLUB_DEBUG. All this features should work regardless of SLUB_DEBUG config, as all of them already have own Kconfig options. This also fixes failslab for CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG=n configuration. It simply has not worked before because should_failslab() call was in a hook hidden under "#ifdef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG #else". Note: There is one concealed change in allocation path for SLUB_DEBUG=n and all other debugging features disabled. The might_sleep_if() call can generate some code even if DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=n. For PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y might_sleep() inserts _cond_resched() call, but I think it should be ok. Signed-off-by:

Christoph Lameter authored
The patchset provides two new functions in mm/slab.h and modifies SLAB and SLUB to use these. The kmem_cache_node structure is shared between both allocators and the use of common accessors will allow us to move more code into slab_common.c in the future. This patch (of 3): These functions allow to eliminate repeatedly used code in both SLAB and SLUB and also allow for the insertion of debugging code that may be needed in the development process.

Orabug: 19074140 When umount is issued during recovery on the new master that has not finished remastering locks, it triggers BUG() in dlm_send_mig_lockres_msg(). Here is the situation: 1) node A has a lock on resource X mastered by node B. 2) node B dies -> node A sets recovering flag for res X 3) Node C becomes the new master for resources owned by the dead node and is remastering locks of the dead node but has not finished the remastering process yet. 4) umount is issued on node C. 5) During processing of umount, ignoring unfished recovery, node C attempts to migrate resource X to node A. 6) node A finds res X in DLM_LOCK_RES_RECOVERING state, considers it a logic error and sends back -EFAULT. 7) node C asserts BUG() upon seeing EFAULT resp from node B. Fix is to delay migrating res X till remastering is finished at which point recovering flag will be cleared on both A and C.

ocfs2_search_extent_list may return -1, so we should check the return value in ocfs2_split_and_insert, otherwise it may cause array index out of bound. And ocfs2_search_extent_list can only return value less than el->l_next_free_rec, so check if it is equal or larger than le16_to_cpu(el->l_next_free_rec) is meaningless. Signed-off-by:

Commit 85816794 ("fanotify: Fix use after free for permission events") introduced a double free issue for permission events which are pending in group's notification queue while group is being destroyed. These events are freed from fanotify_handle_event() but they are not removed from groups notification queue and thus they get freed again from fsnotify_flush_notify(). Fix the problem by removing permission events from notification queue before freeing them if we skip processing access response. Also expand comments in fanotify_release() to explain group shutdown in detail. Fixes: 85816794Signed-off-by:

Based upon work by Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze. 5) Fix BREAK detection in sunsab driver when no actual characters are pending, from Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze. 6) Because we have modules --> openfirmware --> vmalloc ordering of virtual memory, the lazy VMAP TLB flusher can cons up an invocation of flush_tlb_kernel_range() that covers the openfirmware address range. Unfortunately this will flush out the firmware's locked TLB mapping which causes all kinds of trouble. Just split up the flush request if this happens, but in the long term the lazy VMAP flusher should probably be made a little bit smarter.
