Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== The main motivation is to make alloc page and slab reentrant and remove bpf_mem_alloc. v8->v9: - Squash Vlastimil's fix/feature for localtry_trylock, and udpate commit log as suggested by Sebastian. - Drop _noprof suffix in try_alloc_pages kdoc - rebase v8: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250213033556.9534-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v7->v8: - rebase: s/free_unref_page/free_frozen_page/ v6->v7: - Took Sebastian's patch for localtry_lock_t as-is with minor addition of local_trylock_acquire() for proper LOCKDEP. Kept his authorship. - Adjusted patch 4 to use it. The rest is unchanged. v6: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250124035655.78899-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v5->v6: - Addressed comments from Sebastian, Vlastimil - New approach for local_lock_t in patch 3. Instead of unconditionally increasing local_lock_t size to 4 bytes introduce local_trylock_t and use _Generic() tricks to manipulate active field. - Address stackdepot reentrance issues. alloc part in patch 1 and free part in patch 2. - Inlined mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() in patch 4 since this helper is being removed. - Added Acks. - Dropped failslab, kfence, kmemleak patch. - Improved bpf_map_alloc_pages() in patch 6 a bit to demo intended usage. It will be refactored further. - Considered using __GFP_COMP in try_alloc_pages to simplify free_pages_nolock a bit, but then decided to make it work for all types of pages, since free_pages_nolock() is used by stackdepot and currently it's using non-compound order 2. I felt it's best to leave it as-is and make free_pages_nolock() support all pages. v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250115021746.34691-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v4->v5: - Fixed patch 1 and 4 commit logs and comments per Michal suggestions. Added Acks. - Added patch 6 to make failslab, kfence, kmemleak complaint with trylock mode. It's a prerequisite for reentrant slab patches. v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250114021922.92609-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v3->v4: Addressed feedback from Michal and Shakeel: - GFP_TRYLOCK flag is gone. gfpflags_allow_spinning() is used instead. - Improved comments and commit logs. v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20241218030720.1602449-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v2->v3: To address the issues spotted by Sebastian, Vlastimil, Steven: - Made GFP_TRYLOCK internal to mm/internal.h try_alloc_pages() and free_pages_nolock() are the only interfaces. - Since spin_trylock() is not safe in RT from hard IRQ and NMI disable such usage in lock_trylock and in try_alloc_pages(). In such case free_pages_nolock() falls back to llist right away. - Process trylock_free_pages llist when preemptible. - Check for things like unaccepted memory and order <= 3 early. - Don't call into __alloc_pages_slowpath() at all. - Inspired by Vlastimil's struct local_tryirq_lock adopted it in local_lock_t. Extra 4 bytes in !RT in local_lock_t shouldn't affect any of the current local_lock_t users. This is patch 3. - Tested with bpf selftests in RT and !RT and realized how much more work is necessary on bpf side to play nice with RT. The urgency of this work got higher. The alternative is to convert bpf bits left and right to bpf_mem_alloc. v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20241210023936.46871-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ v1->v2: - fixed buggy try_alloc_pages_noprof() in PREEMPT_RT. Thanks Peter. - optimize all paths by doing spin_trylock_irqsave() first and only then check for gfp_flags & __GFP_TRYLOCK. Then spin_lock_irqsave() if it's a regular mode. So new gfp flag will not add performance overhead. - patches 2-5 are new. They introduce lockless and/or trylock free_pages_nolock() and memcg support. So it's in usable shape for bpf in patch 6. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20241116014854.55141-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com/ ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250222024427.30294-1-alexei.starovoitov@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
