It attempts to address a variety of concerns\nwith the existing implementation.\n\nA. Management of object queues\n\n A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object\n queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for\n each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of\n queueing them up.\n\nB. Storage overhead of object queues\n\n SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even\n has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each\n node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of\n objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our\n systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up\n for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include\n the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole\n memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues.\n\nC. SLAB meta data overhead\n\n SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data\n cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps\n all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally\n aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte\n boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over.\n SLAB cannot do this.\n\nD. SLAB has a complex cache reaper\n\n SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems\n the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that\n operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list\n of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues\n during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs.\n\nE. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support\n\n SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that\n allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that\n situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of\n policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is\n certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to\n memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from\n one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects\n from one node and then will switch to the next.\n\nF. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists\n\n SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large\n number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can\n only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global\n pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to\n decrease fragmentation.\n\nG. Tunables\n\n SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can\n manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still\n requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global\n parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab\n order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the\n less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the\n better SLUB will be scaling.\n\nG. Slab merging\n\n We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those\n on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This\n leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can\n be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease\n slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled\n up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying\n slub_nomerge on boot up.\n\n Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel\n because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt\n differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those.\n\nH. Diagnostics\n\n The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a\n recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that\n is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths).\n SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the \"slab_debug\" option.\n Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of\n slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running\n with the usual performance and it is much more likely that\n race conditions can be reproduced.\n\nI. Resiliency\n\n If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting\n common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the\n system to continue.\n\nJ. Tracing\n\n Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug\u003dT,\u003cslabcache\u003e option\n during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache\n and dump the object contents on free.\n\nK. On demand DMA cache creation.\n\n Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with\n __GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.\n For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is\n completely eliminated.\n\nL. Performance increase\n\n Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the\n range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the\n underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate\n larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub\n performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may\n enable further performance increases.\n\nTested on:\ni386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator\n\nSLUB Boot options\n\nslub_nomerge\t\tDisable merging of slabs\nslub_min_order\u003dx\tRequire a minimum order for slab caches.

It simply counts the\nnumber of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB\nfrom an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O,\nwhich is wrong.\n\n(David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting:\n\n For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very\n useful\n\n read_bytes/read_calls average read request size\n write_bytes/write_calls average write request size\n\n read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing\n write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can\n be missed\n\n I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache\n problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are\n dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache\n contention.\n\n I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing\n efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high\n IO commands).\n\nThis patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account\nfor three things:\n\nreads:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause\n to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it\n is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and\n CIFS.\n\nwrites:\n\n attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent\n to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time.\n\n The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file\n and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will\n have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.\n\n So...\n\ncancelled_writes:\n\n account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by\n truncating pagecache.\n\n We _could_ just subtract this from the process\u0027s `write\u0027 accounting. But\n that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative\n amounts of write IO, which is silly.\n\n So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace.\n\nNow, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But\n\n- This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page\n level (would require a new pointer in struct page).\n\n- It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available\n long after that process has exitted.

Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -\n \t such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.\n\n (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM\n \t drivers.\n\n (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.\n\n (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by\n \t taking a leaf out of JFFS2\u0027s book.\n\n (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and\n linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,\n however, still used in places, and so is still available.\n\n (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and\n parts of linux/fs.h.\n\n (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) set_page_dirty() doesn\u0027t call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK\n is not enabled.\n\n (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are\n required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:\n\n (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).\n\n (*) Makes some /proc changes:\n\n (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.\n\n (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if\n given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.\n\n (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if\n CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.\n\n (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return\n error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).\n\n (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if\n CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can\u0027t then happen.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003caxboe@kernel.dk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "b89a81712f486e4f7a606987413e387605fdeaf4", "tree": "98702b89a50e927c38f2e31cf824c10d2585722f", "parents": [ "571817849c76aabf34d534c905b5e604f2e824c5" ], "author": { "name": "Eric W.

It \"observes\" and maps all locking rules as\nthey occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel\u0027s natural use of spinlocks,\nrwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a\nnew locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of\nrules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the\nnew rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the\nnew rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out.\n\nWhen determining validity of locking, all possible \"deadlock scenarios\" are\nconsidered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task\ncontext constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing\nlocking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate\nscenarios. This is why we call it a \"locking correctness\" validator - for all\nrules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical\ncertainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator\nimplementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not\ncorrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals\nof this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt]\n\nFurthermore, this \"all possible scenarios\" property of the validator also\nenables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races\nvia single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs\ndrastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in\nthe upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and\nwhich needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs.\nThat bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a\nrace will be found \"piecemail-wise\", triggering all the necessary components\nfor the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its\nshort existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they\nactually caused a real deadlock.\n\nTo further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per\n\"lock instance\", but per \"lock-class\". For example, all struct inode objects\nin the kernel have inode-\u003einotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached,\nthen there are 10,000 lock objects. But -\u003einotify_mutex is a single \"lock\ntype\", and all locking activities that occur against -\u003einotify_mutex are\n\"unified\" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class\napproach is that all historical -\u003einotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single\n(and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many\ndifferent tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The\nset of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel.\n\nTo see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here\u0027s a\nportion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup:\n\n lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048]\n direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192]\n indirect dependencies: 17896\n all direct dependencies: 16206\n dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192]\n in-hardirq chains: 17\n in-softirq chains: 105\n in-process chains: 1065\n stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072]\n combined max dependencies: 2033928\n hardirq-safe locks: 24\n hardirq-unsafe locks: 176\n softirq-safe locks: 53\n softirq-unsafe locks: 137\n irq-safe locks: 59\n irq-unsafe locks: 176\n\nThe lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns,\nand has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.\n\nMore details about the design of the lock validator can be found in\nDocumentation/lockdep-design.txt, which can also found at:\n\n http://redhat.com/~mingo/lockdep-patches/lockdep-design.txt\n\n[bunk@stusta.de: cleanups]\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@linux.intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@stusta.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "9a11b49a805665e13a56aa067afaf81d43ec1514", "tree": "bf499956e3f67d1211d68ab1e2eb76645f453dfb", "parents": [ "fb7e42413a098cc45b3adf858da290033af62bae" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Mon Jul 03 00:24:33 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Mon Jul 03 15:27:01 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debugging\n\nGeneric lock debugging:\n\n - generalized lock debugging framework.

"message": "[PATCH] Light weight event counters\n\nThe remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches\nhave been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no\nessential function for the VM.\n\nWe use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most\nsevere races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between\nan increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics\ncounter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one\nincrement or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that\nthe vm event counters have to be accurate.\n\nIn the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each\ncounter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a\nsingle instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.\n And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for\nboth architectures in most cases.\n\nThe patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a\nbuilding of linux kernels without these counters.\n\nThe implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully\nresults in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted\n(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction\nconcurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).\n\nBenefits:\n- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction\n on i386 and x86_64.\n- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.\n Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.\n- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.\n- Simple and easily extendable.\n- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.\n\nReferences:\n\nRFC

When audit\u0027s inotify\nevent handler is called, it updates any affected rules based on the\nfilesystem event. If the parent directory is renamed, removed, or its\nfilesystem is unmounted, audit removes all rules referencing that\ninotify watch.\n\nTo keep things simple, this implementation limits location-based\nauditing to the directory entries in an existing directory. Given\na path-based rule for /foo/bar/passwd, the following table applies:\n\n passwd modified -- audit event logged\n passwd replaced -- audit event logged, rules list updated\n bar renamed -- rule removed\n foo renamed -- untracked, meaning that the rule now applies to\n\t\t the new location\n\nAudit users typically want to have many rules referencing filesystem\nobjects, which can significantly impact filtering performance.
