The cmpxchg must be irq safe. The fallback for this_cpu_cmpxchg only
disables preemption which results in per cpu partial page operation
potentially failing on non x86 platforms.

Lockdep reports there is potential deadlock for slub node list_lock.
discard_slab() is called with the lock hold in unfreeze_partials(),
which could trigger a slab allocation, which could hold the lock again.
discard_slab() doesn't need hold the lock actually, if the slab is

Historically /proc/slabinfo and files under /sys/kernel/slab/* have
world read permissions and are accessible to the world. slabinfo
contains rather private information related both to the kernel and
userspace tasks. Depending on the situation, it might reveal either
private information per se or information useful to make another
targeted attack. Some examples of what can be learned by
reading/watching for /proc/slabinfo entries:
1) dentry (and different *inode*) number might reveal other processes fs
activity. The number of dentry "active objects" doesn't strictly show
file count opened/touched by a process, however, there is a good
correlation between them. The patch "proc: force dcache drop on
unauthorized access" relies on the privacy of dentry count.
2) different inode entries might reveal the same information as (1), but
these are more fine granted counters. If a filesystem is mounted in a
private mount point (or even a private namespace) and fs type differs from
other mounted fs types, fs activity in this mount point/namespace is
revealed. If there is a single ecryptfs mount point, the whole fs
activity of a single user is revealed. Number of files in ecryptfs
mount point is a private information per se.
3) fuse_* reveals number of files / fs activity of a user in a user
private mount point. It is approx. the same severity as ecryptfs
infoleak in (2).
4) sysfs_dir_cache similar to (2) reveals devices' addition/removal,
which can be otherwise hidden by "chmod 0700 /sys/". With 0444 slabinfo
the precise number of sysfs files is known to the world.
5) buffer_head might reveal some kernel activity. With other
information leaks an attacker might identify what specific kernel
routines generate buffer_head activity.
6) *kmalloc* infoleaks are very situational. Attacker should watch for
the specific kmalloc size entry and filter the noise related to the unrelated
kernel activity. If an attacker has relatively silent victim system, he
might get rather precise counters.
Additional information sources might significantly increase the slabinfo
infoleak benefits. E.g. if an attacker knows that the processes
activity on the system is very low (only core daemons like syslog and
cron), he may run setxid binaries / trigger local daemon activity /
trigger network services activity / await sporadic cron jobs activity
/ etc. and get rather precise counters for fs and network activity of
these privileged tasks, which is unknown otherwise.
Also hiding slabinfo and /sys/kernel/slab/* is a one step to complicate
exploitation of kernel heap overflows (and possibly, other bugs). The
related discussion:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1108378
To keep compatibility with old permission model where non-root
monitoring daemon could watch for kernel memleaks though slabinfo one
should do:
groupadd slabinfo
usermod -a -G slabinfo $MONITOR_USER
And add the following commands to init scripts (to mountall.conf in
Ubuntu's upstart case):
chmod g+r /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*
chgrp slabinfo /proc/slabinfo /sys/kernel/slab/*/*

The slab has just one free object, adding it to partial list head doesn't make
sense. And it can cause lock contentation. For example,
1. CPU takes the slab from partial list
2. fetch an object
3. switch to another slab
4. free an object, then the slab is added to partial list again
In this way n->list_lock will be heavily contended.
In fact, Alex had a hackbench regression. 3.1-rc1 performance drops about 70%

Allow filling out the rest of the kmem_cache_cpu cacheline with pointers to
partial pages. The partial page list is used in slab_free() to avoid
per node lock taking.
In __slab_alloc() we can then take multiple partial pages off the per
node partial list in one go reducing node lock pressure.
We can also use the per cpu partial list in slab_alloc() to avoid scanning
partial lists for pages with free objects.
The main effect of a per cpu partial list is that the per node list_lock
is taken for batches of partial pages instead of individual ones.
Potential future enhancements:
1. The pickup from the partial list could be perhaps be done without disabling
interrupts with some work. The free path already puts the page into the
per cpu partial list without disabling interrupts.
2. __slab_free() may have some code paths that could use optimization.

There are two situations in which slub holds a lock while releasing
pages:
A. During kmem_cache_shrink()
B. During kmem_cache_close()
For A build a list while holding the lock and then release the pages
later. In case of B we are the last remaining user of the slab so
there is no need to take the listlock.
After this patch all calls to the page allocator to free pages are
done without holding any spinlocks. kmem_cache_destroy() will still

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.
Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.
If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.
value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;
The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.
This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

unlocks the current slab used for allocation. Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.
Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does. We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case. So the tid update is useless.
Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.
