bpf: Add bpf_mem_alloc_check_size() helper

Introduce bpf_mem_alloc_check_size() to check whether the allocation
size exceeds the limitation for the kmalloc-equivalent allocator. The
upper limit for percpu allocation is LLIST_NODE_SZ bytes larger than
non-percpu allocation, so a percpu argument is added to the helper.

The helper will be used in the following patch to check whether the size
parameter passed to bpf_mem_alloc() is too big.

in function bpf_mem_alloc_percpu_unit_init() ([2]).
Indeed, the check is unnecessary since c->unit_size will
be all NULL or all non-NULL for all cpus before
for_each_possible_cpu() loop.
Removing the check makes code less confusing.

bpf: Use smaller low/high marks for percpu allocation

Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption
of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for
an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation,
low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the
batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory
will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu.
Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption
across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory.

This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be
good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB
memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory
allocation.

In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to
non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks
which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.

bpf: Allow per unit prefill for non-fix-size percpu memory allocator

Commit 41a5db8d8161 ("Add support for non-fix-size percpu mem allocation")
added support for non-fix-size percpu memory allocation.
Such allocation will allocate percpu memory for all buckets on all
cpus and the memory consumption is in the order to quadratic.
For example, let us say, 4 cpus, unit size 16 bytes, so each
cpu has 16 * 4 = 64 bytes, with 4 cpus, total will be 64 * 4 = 256 bytes.
Then let us say, 8 cpus with the same unit size, each cpu
has 16 * 8 = 128 bytes, with 8 cpus, total will be 128 * 8 = 1024 bytes.
So if the number of cpus doubles, the number of memory consumption
will be 4 times. So for a system with large number of cpus, the
memory consumption goes up quickly with quadratic order.
For example, for 4KB percpu allocation, 128 cpus. The total memory
consumption will 4KB * 128 * 128 = 64MB. Things will become
worse if the number of cpus is bigger (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.)

In Commit 41a5db8d8161, the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation is
done in boot time, so for system with large number of cpus, the initial
percpu memory consumption is very visible. For example, for 128 cpu
system, the total percpu memory allocation will be at least
(16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096)
* 128 * 128 = ~138MB.
which is pretty big. It will be even bigger for larger number of cpus.

Note that the current prefill also allocates 4 entries if the unit size
is less than 256. So on top of 138MB memory consumption, this will
add more consumption with
3 * (16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256) * 128 * 128 = ~38MB.
Next patch will try to reduce this memory consumption.

Later on, Commit 1fda5bb66ad8 ("bpf: Do not allocate percpu memory
at init stage") moved the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation
to bpf verificaiton stage. Once a particular bpf_percpu_obj_new()
is called by bpf program, the memory allocator will try to fill in
the cache with all sizes, causing the same amount of percpu memory
consumption as in the boot stage.

To reduce the initial percpu memory consumption for non-fix-size
percpu memory allocation, instead of filling the cache with all
supported allocation sizes, this patch intends to fill the cache
only for the requested size. As typically users will not use large
percpu data structure, this can save memory significantly.
For example, the allocation size is 64 bytes with 128 cpus.
Then total percpu memory amount will be 64 * 128 * 128 = 1MB,
much less than previous 138MB.

Currently, for percpu memory allocation, say if the user

bpf: Use c->unit_size to select target cache during free

ksize() of allocated pointer is equal with the unit_size of used
bpf_me

bpf: Use c->unit_size to select target cache during free

At present, bpf memory allocator uses check_obj_size() to ensure that
ksize() of allocated pointer is equal with the unit_size of used
bpf_mem_cache. Its purpose is to prevent bpf_mem_free() from selecting
a bpf_mem_cache which has different unit_size compared with the
bpf_mem_cache used for allocation. But as reported by lkp, the return
value of ksize() or kmalloc_size_roundup() may change due to slab merge
and it will lead to the warning report in check_obj_size().

The reported warning happened as follows:
(1) in bpf_mem_cache_adjust_size(), kmalloc_size_roundup(96) returns the
object_size of kmalloc-96 instead of kmalloc-cg-96. The object_size of
kmalloc-96 is 96, so size_index for 96 is not adjusted accordingly.
(2) the object_size of kmalloc-cg-96 is adjust from 96 to 128 due to
slab merge in __kmem_cache_alias(). For SLAB, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN is
enabled by default for kmalloc slab, so align is 64 and size is 128 for
kmalloc-cg-96. SLUB has a similar merge logic, but its object_size will
not be changed, because its align is 8 under x86-64.
(3) when unit_alloc() does kmalloc_node(96, __GFP_ACCOUNT, node),
ksize() returns 128 instead of 96 for the returned pointer.
(4) the warning in check_obj_size() is triggered.

Considering the slab merge can happen in anytime (e.g, a slab created in
a new module), the following case is also possible: during the
initialization of bpf_global_ma, there is no slab merge and ksize() for
a 96-bytes object returns 96. But after that a new slab created by a
kernel module is merged to kmalloc-cg-96 and the object_size of
kmalloc-cg-96 is adjust from 96 to 128 (which is possible for x86-64 +
CONFIG_SLAB, because its alignment requirement is 64 for 96-bytes slab).
So soon or later, when bpf_global_ma frees a 96-byte-sized pointer
which is allocated from bpf_mem_cache with unit_size=96, bpf_mem_free()
will free the pointer through a bpf_mem_cache in which unit_size is 128,
because the return value of ksize() changes. The warning for the
mismatch will be triggered again.

A feasible fix is introducing similar APIs compared with ksize() and
kmalloc_size_roundup() to return the actually-allocated size instead of
size which may change due to slab merge, but it will introduce
unnecessary dependency on the implementation details of mm subsystem.

As for now the pointer of bpf_mem_cache is saved in the 8-bytes area
(or 4-bytes under 32-bit host) above the returned pointer, using
unit_size in the saved bpf_mem_cache to select the target cache instead
of inferring the size from the pointer itself. Beside no extra
dependency on mm subsystem, the performance for bpf_mem_free_rcu() is
also improved as shown below.

Before applying the patch, the performances of bpf_mem_alloc() and
bpf_mem_free_rcu() on 8-CPUs VM with one producer are as follows:

kmalloc : alloc 11.69 ± 0.28M/s free 29.58 ± 0.93M/s
percpu : alloc 14.11 ± 0.52M/s free 14.29 ± 0.99M/s

After apply the patch, the performance for bpf_mem_free_rcu() increases
9% and 146% for kmalloc memory and per-cpu memory respectively:

kmalloc: alloc 11.01 ± 0.03M/s free 32.42 ± 0.48M/s
percpu: alloc 12.84 ± 0.12M/s free 35.24 ± 0.23M/s

After the fixes, there is no need to adjust size_index to fix the
mismatch between allocation and free, so remove it as well. Also return
NULL instead of ZERO_SIZE_PTR for zero-sized alloc in bpf_mem_alloc(),
because there is no bpf_mem_cache pointer saved above ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

Commit d52b59315bf5 ("bpf: Adjust size_index according to the value of

reported by Nathan, the adjustment is not enough, because
__kmalloc_minalign() also decides the minimal alignment of slab object
as shown in new_kmalloc_cache() and its value may be greater than
KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE (e.g., 64 bytes vs 8 bytes under a riscv QEMU VM).

Instead of invoking __kmalloc_minalign() in bpf subsystem to find the
maximal alignment, just using kmalloc_size_roundup() directly to get the
corresponding slab object size for each allocation size. If these two
sizes are unmatched, adjust size_index to select a bpf_mem_cache with
unit_size equal to the object_size of the underlying slab cache for the
allocation size.

bpf: Skip unit_size checking for global per-cpu allocator

For global per-cpu allocator, the size of free object in free list
doesn't match with unit_size and now there is no way to get the size of
per-cpu pointer saved in free object, so just skip the checking.

bpf: Ensure unit_size is matched with slab cache object size

Add extra check in bpf_mem_alloc_init() to ensure the unit_size of
bpf_mem_cache is matched with the object_size of underlying slab cache.
If these two sizes are unmatched, print a warning once and return
-EINVAL in bpf_mem_alloc_init(), so the mismatch can be found early and
the potential issue can be prevented.

When the unit_size of a bpf_mem_cache is unmatched with the object_size
of the underlying slab cache, the bpf_mem_cache will not be used, and
the allocation will be redirected to a bpf_mem_cache with a bigger
unit_size instead, so there is no need to prefill for these

The warning is due to WARN_ON_ONCE(tgt->unit_size != c->unit_size) in
free_bulk(). The direct reason is that a object is allocated and
freed by bpf_mem_caches with different unit_size.

The root cause is that KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is 64 and there is no 96-bytes
slab cache in the specific VM. When linked_list test allocates a
72-bytes object through bpf_obj_new(), bpf_global_ma will allocate it
from a bpf_mem_cache with 96-bytes unit_size, but this bpf_mem_cache is
backed by 128-bytes slab cache. When the object is freed, bpf_mem_free()
uses ksize() to choose the corresponding bpf_mem_cache. Because the
object is allocated from 128-bytes slab cache, ksize() returns 128,
bpf_mem_free() chooses a 128-bytes bpf_mem_cache to free the object and
triggers the warning.

A similar warning will also be reported when using CONFIG_SLAB instead
of CONFIG_SLUB in a x86-64 kernel. Because CONFIG_SLUB defines
KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE as 8 but CONFIG_SLAB defines KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE as 32.

An alternative fix is to use kmalloc_size_round() in bpf_mem_alloc() to
choose a bpf_mem_cache which has the same unit_size with the backing
slab cache, but it may introduce performance degradation, so fix the
warning by adjusting the indexes in size_index according to the value of
KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE just like setup_kmalloc_cache_index_table() does.

bpf: Enable IRQ after irq_work_raise() completes in unit_free{_rcu}()

Both unit_free() and unit_free_rcu() invoke irq_work_raise() to free
freed objects back to slab and the invocation may also be preempted by
unit_alloc() and unit_alloc() may return NULL unexpectedly as shown in
the following case:

task A task B

unit_free()
// high_watermark = 48
// free_cnt = 49 after free
irq_work_raise()
// mark irq work as IRQ_WORK_PENDING
irq_work_claim()

// task B preempts task A
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 48 after alloc

// does unit_alloc() 32-times
......
// free_cnt = 16

unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 15 after alloc
// irq work is already PENDING,
// so just return
irq_work_raise()

// does unit_alloc() 15-times
......
// free_cnt = 0

unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 0 before alloc
return NULL

Fix it by enabling IRQ after irq_work_raise() completes.

bpf: Enable IRQ after irq_work_raise() completes in unit_alloc()

When doing stress test for qp-trie, bpf_mem_alloc() returned NULL
unexpectedly because all qp-trie operations were initiated from
bpf syscalls and there was still available free memory. bpf_obj_new()
has the same problem as shown by the following selftest.

The failure is due to the preemption. irq_work_raise() will invoke
irq_work_claim() first to mark the irq work as pending and then inovke
__irq_work_queue_local() to raise an IPI. So when the current task
which is invoking irq_work_raise() is preempted by other task,
unit_alloc() may return NULL for preemption task as shown below:

task A task B

unit_alloc()
// low_watermark = 32
// free_cnt = 31 after alloc
irq_work_raise()
// mark irq work as IRQ_WORK_PENDING
irq_work_claim()

// task B preempts task A
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 30 after alloc
// irq work is already PENDING,
// so just return
irq_work_raise()
// does unit_alloc() 30-times
......
unit_alloc()
// free_cnt = 0 before alloc
return NULL

Fix it by enabling IRQ after irq_work_raise() completes. An alternative
fix is using preempt_{disable|enable}_notrace() pair, but it may have
extra overhead. Another feasible fix is to only disable preemption or
IRQ before invoking irq_work_queue() and enable preemption or IRQ after
the invocation completes, but it can't handle the case when
c->low_watermark is 1.

where the errno is ENOMEM. After some troubleshooting and enabling
the warnings, we saw:

This makes sense, because in atomic context, percpu allocation would
not create new chunks; it would only create in non-atomic contexts.
And if during prefill all precpu chunks are full, -ENOMEM would
happen immediately upon next unit_alloc.

Prefill phase does not actually run in atomic context, so we can
use this fact to allocate non-atomically with GFP_KERNEL instead
of GFP_NOWAIT. This avoids the immediate -ENOMEM.

GFP_NOWAIT has to be used in unit_alloc when bpf program runs
in atomic context. Even if bpf program runs in non-atomic context,
in most cases, rcu read lock is enabled for the program so
GFP_NOWAIT is still needed. This is often also the case for
BPF_MAP_UPDATE_ELEM syscalls.
