Subject: [PATCH 00/24] Introduce kvfree_rcu(1 or 2 arguments)
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 22:58:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200428205903.61704-1-urezki@gmail.com> (raw)
Motivation
----------
There were some discussions and demand in having kvfree_rcu()
interface for different purposes. Basically to have a simple
interface like:
<snip>
void *ptr = kvmalloc(some_bytes, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ptr)
kvfree_rcu(ptr);
<snip>
For example, please have a look at ext4 discussion here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/19/1372
due to lack of the interface that is in question, the ext4 specific
workaround has been introduced, to kvfree() after a grace period:
<snip>
void ext4_kvfree_array_rcu(void *to_free)
{
struct ext4_rcu_ptr *ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*ptr), GFP_KERNEL);
if (ptr) {
ptr->ptr = to_free;
call_rcu(&ptr->rcu, ext4_rcu_ptr_callback);
return;
}
synchronize_rcu();
kvfree(ptr);
}
<snip>
there are also similar places there which could be replaced by the new
interface, that is much more efficient then just call synchronize_rcu()
and release a memory.
Please have a look at another places in the kernel where people do not
embed the rcu_head into their stuctures for some reason and do like:
<snip>
synchronize_rcu();
kfree(p);
<snip>
<snip>

urezki@pc638:~/data/coding/linux-rcu.git$
<snip>
so all of it can be replaced by the introduced interface and that
is actually aim and motivation. All that can replaced by the single
kvfree_rcu() logic.
As for double argument of the kvfree_rcu() we have only one user
so far, it is "mm/list_lru.c". But it costs nothing to add it.
Description
-----------
This small series introduces kvfree_rcu() macro that is used
for free memory after a grace period. It can be called either
with one or two arguments. kvfree_rcu() as it derives from its
name can handle two types of pointers, SLAB and vmalloc ones.
As a result we get two ways how to use kvfree_rcu() macro, see
below two examples.
a) kvfree_rcu(ptr, rhf);
struct X {
struct rcu_head rhf;
unsigned char data[100];
};
void *ptr = kvmalloc(sizeof(struct X), GFP_KERNEL);
if (ptr)
kvfree_rcu(ptr, rhf);
b) kvfree_rcu(ptr);
void *ptr = kvmalloc(some_bytes, GFP_KERNEL);
if (ptr)
kvfree_rcu(ptr);
Last one, we name it headless variant, only needs one argument,
means it does not require any rcu_head to be present within the
type of ptr. There is a restriction the (b) context has to fall
into might_sleep() annotation. To check that, please activate
the CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP option in your kernel.
This series is based on:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git
"origin/rcu/dev" branch, what is the same as Paul's almost
latest dev.2020.04.13c branch.
