From e42f174e43e47b623d9dbf814521c4961000c962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlastimil Babka Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2020 23:19:05 -0700 Subject: mm, slab/slub: improve error reporting and overhead of cache_from_obj() cache_from_obj() was added by commit b9ce5ef49f00 ("sl[au]b: always get the cache from its page in kmem_cache_free()") to support kmemcg, where per-memcg cache can be different from the root one, so we can't use the kmem_cache pointer given to kmem_cache_free(). Prior to that commit, SLUB already had debugging check+warning that could be enabled to compare the given kmem_cache pointer to one referenced by the slab page where the object-to-be-freed resides. This check was moved to cache_from_obj(). Later the check was also enabled for SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED configs by commit 598a0717a816 ("mm/slab: validate cache membership under freelist hardening"). These checks and warnings can be useful especially for the debugging, which can be improved. Commit 598a0717a816 changed the pr_err() with WARN_ON_ONCE() to WARN_ONCE() so only the first hit is now reported, others are silent. This patch changes it to WARN() so that all errors are reported. It's also useful to print SLUB allocation/free tracking info for the offending object, if tracking is enabled. Thus, export the SLUB print_tracking() function and provide an empty one for SLAB. For SLUB we can also benefit from the static key check in kmem_cache_debug_flags(), but we need to move this function to slab.h and declare the static key there.
