[PATCH 0/2] Move kfree_rcu out of rcu code and use kfree_bulk

[PATCH 0/2] Move kfree_rcu out of rcu code and use kfree_bulk

[rao.shoaib]

From: Rao Shoaib <rao.shoaib@oracle.com>

This patch moves kfree_call_rcu() out of rcu related code to
mm/slab_common and updates kfree_rcu() to use new bulk memory free
functions as they are more efficient.

This is a resubmission of the previous patch.

Changes:

1) checkpatch.pl has been fixed, so kfree_rcu macro is much simpler

2) To handle preemption, preempt_enable()/preempt_disable() statements
   have been added to __rcu_bulk_free().


Rao Shoaib (2):
  Move kfree_call_rcu() to slab_common.c
  kfree_rcu() should use kfree_bulk() interface

[PATCH 1/2] Move kfree_call_rcu() to slab_common.c

[rao.shoaib]

From: Rao Shoaib <rao.shoaib@oracle.com>

kfree_call_rcu does not belong in linux/rcupdate.h and should be moved to
slab_common.c

[PATCH 2/2] kfree_rcu() should use kfree_bulk() interface

From: Rao Shoaib <rao.shoaib@oracle.com>

kfree_rcu() should use the new kfree_bulk() interface for freeing
rcu structures as it is more efficient.

Re: [PATCH 2/2] kfree_rcu() should use kfree_bulk() interface

It would be even better if this approach could also use

	kmem_cache_free_bulk()

or

	kfree_bulk()

Sorry I do not understand your comment. The patch is using kfree_bulk() 
which is an inline function.

[PATCH 1/2] Move kfree_call_rcu() to slab_common.c

[rao.shoaib]

From: Rao Shoaib <rao.shoaib@oracle.com>

kfree_call_rcu does not belong in linux/rcupdate.h and should be moved to
slab_common.c

Yes.  Of course.  Anytime a person knows better,
checkpatch output should be ignored.

I think it's fine too ;)
Submit away...

Re: [PATCH 1/2] Move kfree_call_rcu() to slab_common.c

[Rao Shoaib]

Folks,

Is anyone working on resolving the check patch issue as I am waiting to 
resubmit my patch. Will it be fine if I submitted the patch with the 
original macro as the check is in-correct.

I do not speak perl but I can do the process work. If folks think Joe's 
fix is fine I can submit it and perhaps someone can review it ?

Regards,

Shoaib

I think checkpatch is confused by the '*' in the typeof argument:

$ git diff |./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict
CHECK: Macro argument reuse 'ptr' - possible side-effects?
#29: FILE: include/linux/rcupdate.h:896:
+#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head)                                        \
+	__kfree_rcu(&((ptr)->rcu_head), offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rcu_head))

If one removes the '*', the warning goes away.

I was under the impression that typeof did not actually evaluate its
argument, but rather only returned its type.  And there are a few macros
with this pattern in mainline.

Or am I confused about what typeof does?

But look at the original:

#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head)                                        \
        __kfree_rcu(&((ptr)->rcu_head), offsetof(typeof(*(ptr)), rcu_head))
                       ^^^                                ^^^

versus your version:

+#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head_name) \
+    do { \
+        typeof(ptr) __ptr = ptr;    \
                ^^^          ^^^
+        unsigned long __off = offsetof(typeof(*(__ptr)), \
+                              rcu_head_name); \
+        struct rcu_head *__rptr = (void *)__ptr + __off; \
+        __kfree_rcu(__rptr, __off); \
+    } while (0)

I don't see the difference.

But why are you changing this macro at all?  If it was to avoid the

But why are you changing this macro at all?  If it was to avoid the

It turns out I did not remember the real reason for the change. With the 
macro rewritten, using rcu_head as a macro argument does not work 
because it conflicts with the name of the type 'struct rcu_head' used in 
the macro. I have renamed the macro argument to rcu_name.

It turns out I did not remember the real reason for the change. With the 
macro rewritten, using rcu_head as a macro argument does not work 
because it conflicts with the name of the type 'struct rcu_head' used in 
the macro. I have renamed the macro argument to rcu_name.

This is definitely a serious error. Thanks for catching this.

As far as your previous comments are concerned, only the following one 
has not been addressed. Can you please elaborate as I do not understand 
the comment. The code was expanded because the new macro expansion check 
fails. Based on Matthew Wilcox's comment I have reverted rcu_head_name 
back to rcu_head.

why do you want to open code this?

Does the following text for the commit log looks better.

kfree_rcu() should use the new kfree_bulk() interface for freeing rcu 
structures

The newly implemented kfree_bulk() interfaces are more efficient, using 
the interfaces for freeing rcu structures has shown performance 
improvements in synthetic benchmarks that allocate and free rcu 
structures at a high rate.

But you introduced a bug here, you should use rcu_state_p instead of
&rcu_sched_state as the third parameter for __call_rcu().

Please re-read:

	https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=151390529209639

, and there are other comments, which you still haven't resolved in this
version. You may want to write a better commit log to explain the
reasons of each modifcation and fix bugs or typos in your previous
version. That's how review process works ;-)

Coming from a background other than Linux I find it very annoying that 
Linux allows variables names that are meaning less. Linux does not even 
enforce adding a prefix for structure members, so trying to find out 
where a member is used or set is impossible using cscope.
I can not change the Linux requirements so I will go ahead and make the 
change in the next rev.

I did not want to make thins change but it is required due to the new 
tests added for macro expansion where the same name as in the macro can 
not be used twice. It takes care of the 'p + 1' hazard that you refer to 
above.

I feel like you're trying to help people understand the code better,
but using longer names can really work against that.  Reverting to
calling the parameter 'rcu_head' lets you not split the line:

+#define kfree_rcu(ptr, rcu_head)	\
+	do { \
+		typeof(ptr) __ptr = ptr;	\
+		unsigned long __off = offsetof(typeof(*(__ptr)), rcu_head); \
+		struct rcu_head *__rptr = (void *)__ptr + __off; \
+		__kfree_rcu(__rptr, __off); \
+	} while (0)

Also, I don't understand why you're bothering to create __ptr here.
I understand the desire to not mention the same argument more than once,
but you have 'ptr' twice anyway.

And it's good practice to enclose macro arguments in parentheses in case
the user has done something really tricksy like pass in "p + 1".

In summary, I don't see anything fundamentally better in your rewrite
of kfree_rcu().  The previous version is more succinct, and to my
mind, easier to understand.
