[Rafael J. Wysocki]

[NOTES:
 * I hope you notice the jump of the number of reported regressions after 2.6.30
   was released.
 * Please let me know which of these bugs have been fixed already (ideally
   please also provide the name of the fix commit).

The cause of these failures has been determined. The wireless
subsystem frequently requests buffers of size 4096, but when SLUB
debugging is enabled and the debug info is added, the request becomes
of order 1 and memory becomes fragmented.

A controversial "fix" in which SLUB debugging was disabled for
allocations where adding such debugging info would increase the order
was discussed and tried. With a quick look at the commit list for
Linus's tree, I don't see that such a patch is available, but I will
be corrected if I missed it.

Thanks for the update.

Hmm, isn't it suboptimal to use a slab allocator for allocations taking up an
entire page?  That's the case on some architectures and seems to be the root
cause of the issue at hand.

I'd disagree with disabling slub debugging by default for caches where 
oo_order(s->min) increases as the result of using it.  This particular 
page allocation failure is happening for, presumably, kmalloc-4096, and 
the system has 4K pages.  Disabling debugging for that cache (and any of 
its aliases) implicitly will lead to errors going undiagnosed as a result.

I'd disagree with disabling slub debugging by default for caches where 
oo_order(s->min) increases as the result of using it.  This particular 
page allocation failure is happening for, presumably, kmalloc-4096, and 
the system has 4K pages.  Disabling debugging for that cache (and any of 
its aliases) implicitly will lead to errors going undiagnosed as a result.

If the current behavior is not changed, I will be forced to disable
SLUB debugging, which will explicitly lead to errors that are
undiagnosed. It seems better to me to debug when you can, but turn off
debugging in cases like this.

If the current behavior is not changed, I will be forced to disable
SLUB debugging, which will explicitly lead to errors that are
undiagnosed. It seems better to me to debug when you can, but turn off
debugging in cases like this.

You're buying debugging support at the cost of increased memory 
consumption when you enable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON and that's causing the 
page allocation failures because of fragmentation.  To reduce the minimum 
order required for caches such as kmalloc-4096, you'd have to disable 
debugging for that particular cache.  It's my opinion that such a 
configuration should not be the default, however.

You could argue adding `slub_debug=-,kmalloc-4096' support from the 
command line, but CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON should not change its well-defined 
purpose of enabling debugging on all slab caches.  Otherwise the rest of 
us would be forced to add `slub_debug=,kmalloc-4096' for consistent 
behavior with older kernels.

Well, I obviously don't agree here because kmalloc-4096 debugging
causes problems in the real world. Furthermore, SLUB never supported
debugging for objects that big historically because of page allocator
passthrough. And with Mel Gorman's page allocator optimizations, we
might be going back to that.

So we should fix SLUB debugging as outlined by Mel Gorman and
Christoph Lameter. I simply haven't had the time to do it. Patches are
welcome!

I don't think CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is generally the configuration used in 
the real world.

The option has a clear and well-defined purpose and that is to enable 
debugging on all slab caches.  If you modify its definition, users will 
generally ignore the warning about debugging being disabled when "the 
minimum possible order at which slab may be allocated is higher than 
without."  And unless they check the kernel log for such a warning to boot 
with `slab_debug=,kmalloc-4096', we lose testing coverage because we 
cannot enable redzoning or tracing after boot.

Even when page allocation is fast enough, it would still be helpful to 
configure slub to not do passthrough purely for the lightweight debugging 
opportunities.

You're referring to `slub_debug=A'?  I think CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON should 
continue to enable debugging on all slab caches and in instances where it 
causes page allocation failures such in Larry's case because 
oo_order(s->min) with debugging on is greater than oo_order(s->min) with 
debugging off, you can emit a friendly warning in your recently added 
slab_out_of_memory() about using `slab_debug=-,<cache>'.

We have a disagreement about which is the default behavior, but I would 
opt on the side of adding exemptions to a debug configuration option as 
opposed to requiring additional command line parameters to be fully 
enabled.

It is, hence the epic bug report that's eaten too many man hours
already! Look, we encourage _testers_ to turn all as much as debugging
options as possible so we catch bugs early. That why the only sane
defaults are the ones that don't cause other problems!

I don't know why you want to argue this. It's simply not an option to
say "stupid user, fix your config" in core code like the slab
allocator. Enabling CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is a very reasonable thing to
do when you are a tester looking for bugs.

Yup, I was referring to slub_debug=A and no, I don't agree with you
that it should be on by default. Only people who know what they're
doing should enable the option and a random tester by definition
doesn't (no offence to Mr. Random Tester).

None taken.

For me, the next step is clear. As I'm much more interested in finding
bugs in the wireless system than in the mechanics of SLUB allocation,
I need to disable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. BTW, I use SLAB on Linus's
mainline tree and SLUB on the wireless testing tree. I build and boot
the mainline kernels mostly to look for quick failures/regressions,
but run the w-t kernels looking for longer-term effects such as memory
fragmentation or slow memory leaks.

For Rafael's benefit, we do need to decide if this is a bug or merely
an unintended side effect. My sense is the latter and Bug #13319
should have a summary of this discussion added to the record, and then
the bug should be closed.

I feel that asking a user to add a command line parameter such as 
`slub_debug=A' in addition to CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON will likely lead to 
less testing coverage and bugs going unreported.  CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is 
not something that a distro is going to enable or would be used in a 
production environment, it's something that's used to debug slub and/or 
slab allocations either during the development of new kernel code or when 
an underlying problem is realized.

Quite the contrary, I agree completely with the above, and that's why I'm 
arguing for full debugging to be enabled when a well-defined configuration 
option is enabled.  I simply don't believe that such debugging should be 
coupled with a command line option to be fully activated for all caches.

SLUB for some period of time had passthrough. It did not start out like
that though.

kmalloc-4096 causes problems in the long run and so do other caches that
are of similar size. But it allows debugging to occur. Silently switching
it off is something I am not comfortable with.

I suggested adding a

Does that work for you?

I don't see how that's different from enabling debugging on all caches 
like CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG_ON currently does and then warning at the time of 
slab allocation failure that it may be the result of the debugging

It may be easier to check the order of the initial size vs. the order of

Ah, right.  Then we could simply eliminate the check on s->flags to begin 
with.

This patch is supposing that `slab_debug=-,<cache>' actually disables all 
debugging for <cache> which would need to be implemented first, but I 
think this is a better alternative than requiring slab_debug=A for full 
debugging after enabling CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON.

I definitely like that more than slab_debug=A, where we're requiring an 
added parameter for full debugging to be activated.

I'm curious whether there would ever be any use for disabling debugging on 
specific caches for reasons other than higher minimum orders for metadata, 
though, given that we already support things like slub_debug=FZ,cache, 
which should only enable free debugging and redzoning even with 
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON enabled for cache.

I think the solution to this is really based on good software engineering 
and test practices, though, so hopefully there'll be a consensus on which 
direction to take before any time is spent in implementing and pushing it.

One of the reasons for disabling debugging is to speed up the kernel. Race
conditions may vanish due to the additional latency added by the debugging
code. Ideally you know which slab cache has the race and you only would
enable it on that one.

Lets go with the slab_out_of_memory() patch you outlined in a previous
post and implement the slub_debug=p thing Christoph suggested. I think
it's the best compromise at this point. When you guys finally see the
light, we can always change it to a reasonable default. ;)

So can you send a patch, please?

Sure, let me know if you think this is -rc material; otherwise, the bug 
will have to be deferred until 2.6.32 with the temporary workaround of

[patch] slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs

[David Rientjes]

When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.

Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options.  The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.

Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.

This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:

	slub_debug=O

When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.

[patch v2] slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs

[David Rientjes]

When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.

Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options.  The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.

Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.

This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:

	slub_debug=O

When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.

There is no need for DEBUG_SIZE since slub keeps both the size of the
object kmem_cache->objsize and the size with the metadata kmem_cache->size

If the order of both is different then the order would increase.

Without DEBUG_SIZE_FLAGS, the only way to determine what flags have 
increased the size is in calculate_sizes() and then disable them by 
default if slub_debug=O is specified.  calculate_sizes() is used by 
the `store', `poison', and `red_zone' callbacks, so the admin still has 
the ability to enable these options even though slub_debug=O was used.

So we can either mask off the size-increasing debug bits when the cache is 
created in kmem_cache_flags() like I did, or we can move the logic to 
calculate_sizes() with an added formal to determine whether this is from 
kmem_cache_open() or one of the attribute callbacks.

I think my solution is the cleanest and provides a single entity, 
DEBUG_SIZE_FLAGS, which specifies the flags that slub_debug=O clears if 
the minimum order increases.

There is a simpler solution. Call calculate sizes again if the resulting
sizes increased the order. Something like this.

 There is no 2.6.30.1 to see if it has been fixed and i have not tested
2.6.31-rc1 (too early for me) so i think it should be still listed

Yep, it still exists. Venkatesh Pallipadi from Intel is working on it.
We need to figure out a proper way to fix policy rwlock vs dbs_mutex vs
timer mutex dependency.

Yes. Still working on it. I thought I had a fix for this. But, over the

Looks like I need a day or two more to work through the web of locks

A quick fix I thought about is to add a mutex to cpufreq.c.

This mutex would be taken outside of the rwlock write lock each time
this lock is taken in cpufreq.c.

This mutex would also be taken from the ondemand and conservator module
sysfs operations.

We remove the dbs_mutexes, given they would now be replaced by this
new cpufreq.c mutex.

Note that the GOV_STOP call should be done while this new mutex is held,
but the rwlock is _not_ held.

I did not implement it because cpufreq.c:cpufreq_add_dev() first needs a
big cleanup for the error handling paths. They are currently completely
bogus and I don't want to add a lock into code that is not currently
correct.

If you find time to do this cleanup and lock implementation, I'll be
glad to review it and provide advice.

Thanks,

Mathieu

I tested v2.6.31-rc1-228-g2bfdd79 and the bug is still there.
It actually got worse, the local_irq_save/restore workaround
in kernel/up-c (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/16/333) doesn't fix it
anymore, it hangs at suspend before writing out the image.

With the up.c workaround (including a
WARN_ON_ONCE(irqs_disabled() && !oops_in_progress);)
applied and no_console_suspend I captured the attached
output using a crappy webcam.  (Without the workaround
there is a huge spew of warnings about irqs enabled
unexpectedly.)  I guess the interesting part is

  pm_op(): pci_pm_thaw returns -16
  PM: Device 0000:00:00.0 failed to thaw: error -16

(PCI info is in http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/15/630)

Hmm, it looks like we fail to thaw the host bridge.

Well, thanks for the update.  I'll do my best to fix the cpufreq suspend
before 2.6.31 final.

I'd be interested to hear from Justin if reducing 
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio as I earlier suggested helps.  

ZONE_NORMAL isn't much larger than ZONE_DMA32 on this machine and both 
lowmem zones have an abundance of free memory which suggests pdflush's 
ratio isn't being met to commence background writeout while at the same 
time ZONE_NORMAL is being depleted as the result of constant nfs 
GFP_ATOMIC allocations that cannot try direct reclaim.

Hello,

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/30960/

"It's funny, though, that the problem that originally started this thread 
was quickly diagnosed because of these messages.  As far as I know, my 
suggestion to increase /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio to kick pdflush 
earlier has prevented the slab allocation failures and not required 
delayed acks for nfsd."

The current value is 10, what value do you suggest I try?

$ cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_background_ratio
10

Justin.

Looking at your initial bug report, it doesn't look like a background

Ignore the all_unreclaimable information, this is a GFP_ATOMIC allocation 
so we can't reclaim.

You have an 8G machine and only 437K is dirty (which is why pdflush hasn't 
kicked in yet).  You do have over 3.5G of slab allocated, however.

This appears related to http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13518, 
but that could be confirmed with slabtop.

[Joao Correia]

No formal patch has been sent yet, that i am aware of. I have made
some changes following suggestion by Americo Wang advise, to the
following:

(patch by Ingo)

diff --git a/kernel/lockdep_internals.h b/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
index 699a2ac..031f4c6 100644
--- a/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
+++ b/kernel/lockdep_internals.h
@@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ enum {
  * Stack-trace: tightly packed array of stack backtrace
  * addresses. Protected by the hash_lock.
  */
-#define MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES	262144UL
+#define MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES	1048576UL

 extern struct list_head all_lock_classes;
 extern struct lock_chain lock_chains[];

and afterwards, a new bug popped up, solved by changing

include/linux/sched.h

# define MAX_LOCK_DEPTH 48UL

to

# define MAX_LOCK_DEPTH 96UL


I have now found a third limit bug, related to MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS,
which was hidden so far, which im trying to raise and replicate. This
is being discussed in detail in another message exchange on the lkml,
between me and Americo.

How about changing MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS to 16?

kernel/lockdep_internals.h:59:#define MAX_LOCKDEP_CHAINS_BITS	15

And can you make a complete patch and send it to lkml with Peter and me
Cc'ed?

Already testing the changes, just to see if something else breaks.

Any special notes on the patch (a basic guideline info on patches
would be great, just so i dont mess it up)? Never submited one before.

Yes, check Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation/email-clients.txt.

I am not sure if Peter likes them, but it is a good idea to split them
and send one by one.

Good luck!

yes, patch is not yet upstream;
2.6.31-rc1 + bart patch resumes from STR
current git + bart patch resume from STR fails, STR seems to have been broken again
(i was confident that the post-rc1 MCE fixes would correct the fact that computer hangs
 a few minutes after resume, but computer doesn't resume at all)

I just tried, and it "seems" to work. Will try a few more cycles.

STD/STR survived quite a few cycles now. Patch seems to be doing the
right thing.

This is not yet in Linus's tree. And much needed to really fix the problem.

This is already in Linus's tree.

Yes, This commit must be reverted, otherwise, STD/Hibernation will not
work either. I have tested it on two different loongson-based machines:
fuloong2e box and yeeloong2f netbook.(loongson is mips compatiable)

Here is what i have traced:

        hibernate(kernel/power/hibernate.c)
        --> hibernation_snapshot
        --> dpm_resume_end
        --> dpm_resume
        --> device_resume
        --> dev->bus->resume(generic_ide_resume), dev_name(dev) = 0.0
        --> blk_execute_rq
        {
                DECLARE_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(wait);
                ...
                wait_for_completion(&wait);     // stop here
                ...
        }

and I have tried to revert this part of the above patch:

-
-               WARN_ON_ONCE(hwif->rq);
 repeat:
                prev_port = hwif->host->cur_port;
+
+               if (drive->dev_flags & IDE_DFLAG_BLOCKED)
+                       rq = hwif->rq;
+               else
+                       WARN_ON_ONCE(hwif->rq);
+

it works! need more time to test!

Since it seems like Dave is taking his sweet time with doing the revert
I stared at the code a bit more and I think that I finally found the bug
(thanks to your debugging work for giving me the right hint!).

The patch needs to take into the account a new code introduced by the recent
block layer changes (commit 8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879):

@@ -555,8 +560,11 @@ repeat:
                startstop = start_request(drive, rq);

                goto plug_device;
 out:

and not zero hwif->rq if the device is blocked. 

Could you try the attached patch and see if it fixes the issue?

[ Dave: while I appreciate fast handling of my patches I had strongly
  suggested giving this particular one some extra testing (because there
  were a lot of changes in between the time that it has been tested
  against other kernel subsystems).  Yet, it seems that its linux-next
  exposure was minimal at best..  :( ]

This works great for. Survived STR, STD. I just applied on top vanilla
latest Linus's git pull. Nothing else to revert.

Weird, I used linux-next but Linus' tree should also be fine
(as it matches linux-next w.r.t. ide currently).

Anyway since the patch was confirmed to fix the problem by
Jeff and Etienne here is the final version for Dave.

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>
Subject: [PATCH] ide: make resume work again

It turns out that commit a1317f714af7aed60ddc182d0122477cbe36ee9b
("ide: improve handling of Power Management requests") needs to take
into the account a new code added by the recent block layer changes
in commit 8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879 ("ide: dequeue
in-flight request") and prevent clearing of hwif->rq if the device
is blocked.

Thanks to Etienne, Wu and Jeff for help in fixing the issue.

I just cloned the linux-next git repo, and tested your patch with
STD/Hibernation, unfortunately, it also not work :-(

here is the Call Trace:

blk_delete_timer+0x0/0x20
blk_requeue_request+0x24/0xd0

cpu_idle+0x30/0x60
start_kernel+0x330/0x34c

If _NOT_ apply your patch and comment this part, it works:

OK, I see another gotcha added by recent changes, we need to explicitly
initialize rq_in_flight variables now.  Revised patch below..

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
Subject: [PATCH] ide: make resume work again (for real)

It turns out that commit a1317f714af7aed60ddc182d0122477cbe36ee9b
("ide: improve handling of Power Management requests") needs to take
into the account a new code added by the recent block layer changes
in commit 8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879 ("ide: dequeue
in-flight request") and prevent clearing of hwif->rq if the device
is blocked.

Thanks to Etienne, Wu and Jeff for help in fixing the issue.

Sorry, STD also not work. if apply this patch, the same problem as not
apply it, it stopped at:

...
PM: Crete hibernation image:
PM: Need to copy ... pages
PM: Hibernation image created ...

I think it's better to revert this commit:
 a1317f714af7aed60ddc182d0122477cbe36ee9b ("ide: improve handling of
Power Management requests")

I completely agree and I've already requested this a week ago
(this commit was not meant for going straight to -rc tree anyway).
