cover Cleanup slab.c

Since there was some (albeit very brief) discussion last week about the need to cleanup mm/slab.c, I figured I'd post these patches. I was inspired to cleanup mm/slab.c since I'm working on a project (to be posted shortly) that touched a bunch of slab code. I found slab.c to be inconsistent, to say the least.

PATCH 1/8 Apply CodingStyle to mm/slab.c

Pretty self-explanatory. Whitespace cleanps, comment fixes, spelling/typos, etc.

Before doing any functional/structural cleanups, fix a bunch of comments, whitespace and general CodingStyle issues.

PATCH 2/8 Use 'nid' in slab.c

In reply to Matthew Dobson

We refer to a node number as: "nodeid", "node", "nid", and possibly other names. Let's choose one, and I choose "nid".

'nid' is more common than 'nodeid' or 'node' when referring to a node number in VM code. Change mm/slab.c to reflect this,

Also, save a few dozen characters. :)

Re: [KJ] Re: [PATCH 2/8] Use 'nid' in slab.c

Quoted 6 lines · Pekka J Enberg
Quoted 2 lines · Matthew Dobson

We refer to a node number as: "nodeid", "node", "nid", and possibly other names. Let's choose one, and I choose "nid".

Such a pity as nodeid is much more readable...

I second that, nodeid is much more understandable.

One thing I noticed while reading the patch is that the function/macro "cpu_to_node"
probably also should be renamed to "cpu_to_nodeid" (or "cpu_to_nid"). Also numa_node_id --> numa_nodeid I guess?

PATCH 3/8 Fix alloc_percpu()'s args

In reply to Matthew Dobson

We don't actually ever use the 'align' parameter, so drop it.

__alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is completely ignored. snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use it, but it will be ignored. Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup the lone caller.

Also, remove an unnecessary cpu_possible check in the oom_unwind loop since kfree() is happy to ignore NULL pointers passed to it.

PATCH 4/8 Cleanup kmem_cache_create()

General readability fixes.

* Reformat a looong if statement
* Replace a constant (4096) with what it represents (PAGE_SIZE)
* Replace a confusing label (opps) with a more sensible one (out)
* Refactor a do {} while loop w/ a couple labels and gotos into a for loop with breaks and continues.
* Rewrite some confusing slab alignment code for readability
* Replace a list_for_each/list_entry combo with an identical but more readable list_for_each_entry loop.

Looks ok to me except that it should be a separate patch (it is not a trivial cleanup because it changes how the code works).

* Replace a constant (4096) with what it represents (PAGE_SIZE)

This seems dangerous. I don't pretend to understand the slab code, but the current code works on architectures with PAGE_SIZE != 4096. Are you sure this change is correct?

Quoted 4 lines

Looks ok to me except that it should be a separate patch (it is not a trivial cleanup because it changes how the code works).

Pekka

That's very reasonable, Pekka. I will respin 4/8 without that change and add a 9/8 that is JUST that one change.

Thank you both for the review and comments!

Leave the constant. The 4096 is only used for debugging and is a boundary at which redzoning and last user accounting is given up.

A large object in terms of this patch is a object greater than 4096 bytes not an object greater than PAGE_SIZE. I think the absolute size is desired.

Would you CC manfred on all your patches?

Ask Manfred about this. I think he coded it that way and he usually has good reasons for it.

Manfred, any reason not to name this constant in slab.c? If there's a good reason not to, I'm perfectly happy to leave it alone. :)

No, there is no reason. It's debug-only code, thus I was too lazy to create a constant.

And no - don't make me maintainer of slab.c. I didn't even have enough time to review the numa patches properly.

This is not an improvement IMHO. The use of for construct is non-intuitive and neither is the above. A suggested cleanup is to keep the loop as is but extract it to a function of its own.

To me the for loop is more readable and intuitive, but that is definitely a matter of opinion. Moving the code to it's own helper function is a better idea than leaving it alone, or changing to a for loop, though. Will resend later today.

Cleanup cache_reap().

Note, I did not include the change to remove the '+ smp_processor_id()' from the schedule_delayed_work() calls. This may cause rejects, which I, or any sane person :), can trivially resolve.

General readability fixes.

* Goto to end of function instead of duplicating code in case of failure to grab cache_chain_sem.
* Replace a list_for_each/list_entry combo with an identical but more readable list_for_each_entry loop.
* Move the declaration of a variables not referenced outside of certain loops inside those loops.
* Store the numa_node_id() in a local variable.

Re: [KJ] [PATCH 7/8] Cleanup set_slab_attr()

hi Matthew,
a for() loop is easier to understand (for me).

page = virt_to_page(objp);

for(i=0;i< (1 << cachep->gfporder);i++)

{
	SET_PAGE_CACHE(page, cachep);

SET_PAGE_SLAB(page, slabp);
page++;
}

re,

I think so too, but there are a number of other loops in this file that do essentially the same thing, but are coded as while (i--) {} loops. If people want, I can change all of them to for() loops, but such a change is more invasive and I would want acknowledgement that people would want such a change first.

Thanks for the feedback,

PATCH 8/8 Inline 3 functions

I found three functions in slab.c that have only 1 caller (kmem_getpages, alloc_slabmgmt, and set_slab_attr), so let's inline them.

Why? They aren't on the hot path and I don't see how this is an improvement...

It avoids the call/return sequences so it may decrease code size a bit and allow the compiler (if its up to the task) to do more CSE optimizations.

Well, no, they aren't on the hot path. I just figured since they are only ever called from one other function, why not inline them? If the sentiment is that it's a BAD idea, I'll drop it.

At least with unit-at-a-time [1], gcc should be smart enough to inline all static functions when it does make sense.

So are you suggesting that we don't mark these functions 'inline', or are you just pointing out that we'll need to drop the 'inline' if there is ever another caller?

It seems you have found one more use for sparse. How about a tag like __single_inline that will cause a warning if a function having it is called from more than one place?

Why should such a function be manually marked "inline" at all?

If a static function is called exactly once it is the job of the compiler to inline the function.

It should indeed. This documentation says it does:

That makes me wonder what is the problem.

On i386, we have the problem that we are using -fno-unit-at-a-time to avoid stack usage problems.

But the proper solution will be to remove -fno-unit-at-a-time from the CFLAGS for gcc >= 4.1 or >= 4.2 and check whether this will cause any new stack usage problems.

Since there was some (albeit very brief) discussion last week about the need to cleanup mm/slab.c, I figured I'd post these patches. I was inspired to cleanup mm/slab.c since I'm working on a project (to be posted shortly) that touched a bunch of slab code. I found slab.c to be inconsistent, to say the least.

Thank you for doing this. Overall, they look good to me except for the bits I commented on. In future, please inline patches to the mail and cc Manfred Spraul who more or less maintains mm/slab.c (curiously, I see no entry in MAINTAINERS though).
