GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the burden of allocation to the preload users. Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from the preload buffer. This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.

idr_find(), idr_remove() and idr_replace() used to silently ignore the sign bit and perform lookup with the rest of the bits. The weird behavior has been changed such that negative IDs are treated as invalid. As the behavior change was subtle, WARN_ON_ONCE() was added in the hope of determining who's calling idr functions with negative IDs so that they can be examined for problems. Up until now, all two reported cases are ID number coming directly from userland and getting fed into idr_find() and the warnings seem to cause more problems than being helpful. Drop the WARN_ON_ONCE()s. Signed-off-by:

Until recently, when an negative ID is specified, idr functions used to ignore the sign bit and proceeded with the operation with the rest of bits, which is bizarre and error-prone. The behavior recently got changed so that negative IDs are treated as invalid but we're triggering WARN_ON_ONCE() on negative IDs just in case somebody was depending on the sign bit being ignored, so that those can be detected and fixed easily. We only need this for a while. Explain why WARN_ON_ONCE()s are there and that they can be removed later. Signed-off-by:

While idr lookup isn't a particularly heavy operation, it still is too substantial to use in hot paths without worrying about the performance implications. With recent changes, each idr_layer covers 256 slots which should be enough to cover most use cases with single idr_layer making lookup hint very attractive. This patch adds idr->hint which points to the idr_layer which allocated an ID most recently and the fast path lookup becomes if (look up target's prefix matches that of the hinted layer) return hint->ary[ID's offset in the leaf layer]; which can be inlined. idr->hint is set to the leaf node on idr_fill_slot() and cleared from free_layer().

Currently, idr->bitmap is declared as an unsigned long which restricts the number of bits an idr_layer can contain. All bitops can handle arbitrary positive integer bit number and there's no reason for this restriction. Declare idr_layer->bitmap using DECLARE_BITMAP() instead of a single unsigned long. * idr_layer->bitmap is now an array. '&' dropped from params to bitops. * Replaced "== IDR_FULL" tests with bitmap_full() and removed IDR_FULL. * Replaced find_next_bit() on ~bitmap with find_next_zero_bit(). * Replaced "bitmap = 0" with bitmap_clear().

MAX_IDR_MASK is another weirdness in the idr interface. As idr covers whole positive integer range, it's defined as 0x7fffffff or INT_MAX. Its usage in idr_find(), idr_replace() and idr_remove() is bizarre. They basically mask off the sign bit and operate on the rest, so if the caller, by accident, passes in a negative number, the sign bit will be masked off and the remaining part will be used as if that was the input, which is worse than crashing. The constant is visible in idr.h and there are several users in the kernel. * drivers/i2c/i2c-core.c:i2c_add_numbered_adapter() Basically used to test if adap->nr is a negative number which isn't -1 and returns -EINVAL if so. idr_alloc() already has negative @start checking (w/ WARN_ON_ONCE), so this can go away. * drivers/infiniband/core/cm.c:cm_alloc_id() drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/cm.c:id_map_alloc() Used to wrap cyclic @start. Can be replaced with max(next, 0). Note that this type of cyclic allocation using idr is buggy. These are prone to spurious -ENOSPC failure after the first wraparound. * fs/super.c:get_anon_bdev() The ID allocated from ida is masked off before being tested whether it's inside valid range. ida allocated ID can never be a negative number and the masking is unnecessary. Update idr_*() functions to fail with -EINVAL when negative @id is specified and update other MAX_IDR_MASK users as described above. This leaves MAX_IDR_MASK without any user, remove it and relocate other MAX_IDR_* constants to lib/idr.c. Signed-off-by:

Most functions in idr fail to deal with the high bits when the idr tree grows to the maximum height. * idr_get_empty_slot() stops growing idr tree once the depth reaches MAX_IDR_LEVEL - 1, which is one depth shallower than necessary to cover the whole range. The function doesn't even notice that it didn't grow the tree enough and ends up allocating the wrong ID given sufficiently high @starting_id. For example, on 64 bit, if the starting id is 0x7fffff01, idr_get_empty_slot() will grow the tree 5 layer deep, which only covers the 30 bits and then proceed to allocate as if the bit 30 wasn't specified. It ends up allocating 0x3fffff01 without the bit 30 but still returns 0x7fffff01. * __idr_remove_all() will not remove anything if the tree is fully grown. * idr_find() can't find anything if the tree is fully grown. * idr_for_each() and idr_get_next() can't iterate anything if the tree is fully grown. Fix it by introducing idr_max() which returns the maximum possible ID given the depth of tree and replacing the id limit checks in all affected places. As the idr_layer pointer array pa[] needs to be 1 larger than the maximum depth, enlarge pa[] arrays by one. While this plugs the discovered issues, the whole code base is horrible and in desparate need of rewrite. It's fragile like hell, Signed-off-by:

The current idr interface is very cumbersome. * For all allocations, two function calls - idr_pre_get() and idr_get_new*() - should be made. * idr_pre_get() doesn't guarantee that the following idr_get_new*() will not fail from memory shortage. If idr_get_new*() returns -EAGAIN, the caller is expected to retry pre_get and allocation. * idr_get_new*() can't enforce upper limit. Upper limit can only be enforced by allocating and then freeing if above limit. * idr_layer buffer is unnecessarily per-idr. Each idr ends up keeping around MAX_IDR_FREE idr_layers. The memory consumed per idr is under two pages but it makes it difficult to make idr_layer larger. This patch implements the following new set of allocation functions. * idr_preload[_end]() - Similar to radix preload but doesn't fail. The first idr_alloc() inside preload section can be treated as if it were called with @gfp_mask used for idr_preload(). * idr_alloc() - Allocate an ID w/ lower and upper limits. Takes @gfp_flags and can be used w/o preloading. When used inside preloaded section, the allocation mask of preloading can be assumed. If idr_alloc() can be called from a context which allows sufficiently relaxed @gfp_mask, it can be used by itself. If, for example, idr_alloc() is called inside spinlock protected region, preloading can be used like the following. idr_preload(GFP_KERNEL); spin_lock(lock); id = idr_alloc(idr, ptr, start, end, GFP_NOWAIT); spin_unlock(lock); idr_preload_end(); if (id < 0) error; which is much simpler and less error-prone than idr_pre_get and idr_get_new*() loop. The new interface uses per-pcu idr_layer buffer and thus the number of idr's in the system doesn't affect the amount of memory used for preloading. idr_layer_alloc() is introduced to handle idr_layer allocations for both old and new ID allocation paths. This is a bit hairy now but the new interface is expected to replace the old and the internal implementation eventually will become simpler. Signed-off-by:

idr uses -1, IDR_NEED_TO_GROW and IDR_NOMORE_SPACE to communicate exception conditions internally. The return value is later translated to errno values using _idr_rc_to_errno(). This is confusing. Drop the custom ones and consistently use -EAGAIN for "tree needs to grow", -ENOMEM for "need more memory" and -ENOSPC for "ran out of ID space". Due to the weird memory preloading mechanism, [ra]_get_new*() return -EAGAIN on memory shortage, so we need to substitute -ENOMEM w/ -EAGAIN on those interface functions. They'll eventually be cleaned up and the translations will go away. This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes. Signed-off-by:

There was only one legitimate use of idr_remove_all() and a lot more of incorrect uses (or lack of it). Now that idr_destroy() implies idr_remove_all() and all the in-kernel users updated not to use it, there's no reason to keep it around. Mark it deprecated so that we can later unexport it. idr_remove_all() is made an inline function calling __idr_remove_all() to avoid triggering deprecated warning on EXPORT_SYMBOL(). Signed-off-by:

idr is silly in quite a few ways, one of which is how it's supposed to be destroyed - idr_destroy() doesn't release IDs and doesn't even whine if the idr isn't empty. If the caller forgets idr_remove_all(), it simply leaks memory. Even ida gets this wrong and leaks memory on destruction. There is absoltely no reason not to call idr_remove_all() from idr_destroy(). Nobody is abusing idr_destroy() for shrinking free layer buffer and continues to use idr after idr_destroy(), so it's safe to do remove_all from destroy. In the whole kernel, there is only one place where idr_remove_all() is legitimiately used without following idr_destroy() while there are quite a few places where the caller forgets either idr_remove_all() or idr_destroy() leaking memory. This patch makes idr_destroy() call idr_destroy_all() and updates the function description accordingly. Signed-off-by:

The iteration logic of idr_get_next() is borrowed mostly verbatim from idr_for_each(). It walks down the tree looking for the slot matching the current ID. If the matching slot is not found, the ID is incremented by the distance of single slot at the given level and repeats. The implementation assumes that during the whole iteration id is aligned to the layer boundaries of the level closest to the leaf, which is true for all iterations starting from zero or an existing element and thus is fine for idr_for_each(). However, idr_get_next() may be given any point and if the starting id hits in the middle of a non-existent layer, increment to the next layer will end up skipping the same offset into it. For example, an IDR with IDs filled between [64, 127] would look like the following. [ 0 64 ... ] /----/ | | | NULL [ 64 ... 127 ] If idr_get_next() is called with 63 as the starting point, it will try to follow down the pointer from 0. As it is NULL, it will then try to proceed to the next slot in the same level by adding the slot distance at that level which is 64 - making the next try 127. It goes around the loop and finds and returns 127 skipping [64, 126]. Note that this bug also triggers in idr_for_each_entry() loop which deletes during iteration as deletions can make layers go away leaving the iteration with unaligned ID into missing layers. Fix it by ensuring proceeding to the next slot doesn't carry over the unaligned offset - ie. use round_up(id + 1, slot_distance) instead of id += slot_distance. Signed-off-by:

Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items more than 1024. This is due to stepping back too many levels during backtracking. For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2 nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs. (In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root level and 32 IDs in each leaf node). The sequence of freeing the nodes at the moment is as follows: layer 1 -> a(7) 2 -> b(3) c(5) 3 -> d(1) e(2) f(4) g(6) Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g should be freed first. Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll have a use after free error at step 6. How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting: Step 1. node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2. msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back 1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e. 2-3. node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2. This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing node b on the way. 4-5. node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node a and free c on the way. 6. We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as node c was freed. The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back. Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position corresponding to a given layer. In the above example overflow from bit 0 to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level. Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2 should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on. The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers on 32 bit systems. Signed-off-by:

This is retry of reverted 859ddf09 ("idr: fix a critical misallocation bug") which contained two bugs. * pa[idp->layers] should be cleared even if it's not used by sub_alloc() because it's used by mark idr_mark_full(). * The original condition check also assigned pa[l] to p which the new code didn't do thus leaving p pointing at the wrong layer. Both problems have been fixed and the idr code has received good amount testing using userland testing setup where simple bitmap allocator is run parallel to verify the result of idr allocation. The bug this patch fixes is caused by sub_alloc() optimization path bypassing out-of-room condition check and restarting allocation loop with starting value higher than maximum allowed value.

Commit 859ddf09 tried to fix misallocation bug but broke full bit marking by not clearing pa[idp->layers] and also is causing X failures due to lookup failure in drm code. The cause of the latter hasn't been found yet. Revert the fix for now. Signed-off-by:

Eric Paris located a bug in idr. With IDR_BITS of 6, it grows to three layers when id 4096 is first allocated. When that happens, idr wraps incorrectly and searches the idr array ignoring the high bits. The following test code from Eric demonstrates the bug nicely. #include <linux/idr.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> #include <linux/module.h> static DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); int init_module(void) { int ret, forty95, forty96; void *addr; /* add 2 entries both with 4095 as the start address */ again1: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4095, 4095, &forty95); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again1; return ret; } if (forty95 != 4095) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty95=%d\n", forty95); again2: if (!idr_pre_get(&test_idr, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; ret = idr_get_new_above(&test_idr, (void *)4096, 4095, &forty96); if (ret) { if (ret == -EAGAIN) goto again2; return ret; } if (forty96 != 4096) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, forty96=%d\n", forty96); /* try to find the 2 entries, noticing that 4096 broke */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty95); if ((int)addr != forty95) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty95=%d addr=%d\n", forty95, (int)addr); addr = idr_find(&test_idr, forty96); if ((int)addr != forty96) printk(KERN_ERR "hmmm, after find forty96=%d addr=%d\n", forty96, (int)addr); /* really weird, the entry which should be at 4096 is actually at 0!! */ addr = idr_find(&test_idr, 0); if ((int)addr) printk(KERN_ERR "found an entry at id=0 for addr=%d\n", (int)addr); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty95); idr_remove(&test_idr, forty96); return 0; } void cleanup_module(void) { } MODULE_AUTHOR("Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Simple idr test"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); This happens because when sub_alloc() back tracks it doesn't always do it step-by-step while the over-the-limit detection assumes step-by-step backtracking. The logic in sub_alloc() looks like the following. restart: clear pa[top level + 1] for end cond detection l = top level while (true) { search for empty slot at this level if (not found) { push id to the next possible value l++ A: if (pa[l] is clear) failed, return asking caller to grow the tree if (going up 1 level gives more slots to search) continue the while loop above with the incremented l else C: goto restart } adjust id accordingly to the found slot if (l == 0) return found id; create lower level if not there yet record pa[l] and l-- } Test A is the fail exit condition but this assumes that failure is propagated upwared one level at a time but the B optimization path breaks the assumption and restarts the whole thing with a start value which is above the possible limit with the current layers. sub_alloc() assumes the start id value is inside the limit when called and test A is the only exit condition check, so it ends up searching for empty slot while ignoring high set bit. So, for 4095->4096 test, level0 search fails but pa[1] contains a valid pointer. However, going up 1 level wouldn't give any more empty slot so it takes C and when the whole thing restarts nobody notices the high bit set beyond the top level. This patch fixes the bug by changing the fail exit condition check to full id limit check. Based-on-patch-from: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Reported-by:

Patch for Per-CSS(Cgroup Subsys State) ID and private hierarchy code. This patch attaches unique ID to each css and provides following. - css_lookup(subsys, id) returns pointer to struct cgroup_subysys_state of id. - css_get_next(subsys, id, rootid, depth, foundid) returns the next css under "root" by scanning When cgroup_subsys->use_id is set, an id for css is maintained. The cgroup framework only parepares - css_id of root css for subsys - id is automatically attached at creation of css. - id is *not* freed automatically. Because the cgroup framework don't know lifetime of cgroup_subsys_state. free_css_id() function is provided. This must be called by subsys. There are several reasons to develop this. - Saving space .... For example, memcg's swap_cgroup is array of pointers to cgroup. But it is not necessary to be very fast. By replacing pointers(8bytes per ent) to ID (2byes per ent), we can reduce much amount of memory usage. - Scanning without lock. CSS_ID provides "scan id under this ROOT" function. By this, scanning css under root can be written without locks. ex) do { rcu_read_lock(); next = cgroup_get_next(subsys, id, root, &found); /* check sanity of next here */ css_tryget(); rcu_read_unlock(); id = found + 1 } while(...) Characteristics: - Each css has unique ID under subsys. - Lifetime of ID is controlled by subsys. - css ID contains "ID" and "Depth in hierarchy" and stack of hierarchy - Allowed ID is 1-65535, ID 0 is UNUSED ID. Design Choices: - scan-by-ID v.s. scan-by-tree-walk. As /proc's pid scan does, scan-by-ID is robust when scanning is done by following kind of routine. scan -> rest a while(release a lock) -> conitunue from interrupted memcg's hierarchical reclaim does this. - When subsys->use_id is set, # of css in the system is limited to 65535.

Fix a problem in the IDR system, where an idr_remove_all() hands a data element to call_rcu() (via free_layer()) before making that data element inaccessible to new readers. This is very bad, and results in readers still having a reference to this data element at the end of the grace period. Tests on large machines that concurrently map and unmap user-space memory within the same multithreaded process result in crashes within about five minutes. Applying this patch increases the kernel's longevity to the three-to-eight-hour range. There appear to be other similar problems in idr_get_empty_slot() and sub_remove(), but I fixed the easy one in idr_remove_all() first. It is therefore no surprise that failures still occur.

David points out that the idr_remove_all() function returns unused slabs to the kmem cache, but needs to zero them first or else they will be uninitialized upon next use. This causes crashes which have been observed in the firewire subsystem. He fixed this by zeroing the object before freeing it in idr_remove_all(). But we agree that simply removing the constructor and zeroing the object at allocation time is simpler than relying upon slab constructor machinery and might even be faster. This problem was introduced by "idr: make idr_remove rcu-safe" (commit cf481c20 ), which was first released in 2.6.27. There are no known codesites which trigger this bug in 2.6.27 or 2.6.28. The post-2.6.28 firewire changes are the only known triggerer. There might of course be not-yet-discovered triggerers in 2.6.27 and 2.6.28, and there might be out-of-tree triggerers which are added to those kernel versions. I'll let the -stable guys decide whether they want to backport this fix. Reported-by:
