Commit Message

Faiyaz Mohammed April 16, 2021, 2:27 p.m. UTC
alloc_calls and free_calls implementation in sysfs have two issues,
one is PAGE_SIZE limitiation of sysfs and other is it does not adhere
to "one value per file" rule.

To overcome this issues, move the alloc_calls and free_calls implemeation
to debugfs.

The patch doesn't compile, as the bots noticed. Had to add a missing #endif
after list_locations().

This doesn't work properly, the second printf() overwrites the first one, also
it's not newline-terminated.
Also debugfs does not have to be always mounted as /sys/kernel/debug. But maybe
it's common enough that the suggestion will work most of the time, so we can
probably leave it.

So using single_open() makes things simple, yeah. But IMHO it's still abusing
the seq_file interface. We do iterate over the loc_track objects so we should
better use the proper iteration approach as described in
Documentation/filesystems/seq_file.rst
and used e.g. in fs/proc/task_mmu.c for /proc/pid/smaps etc.

Right now this relies on the implementation of traverse() which starts by
allocating a PAGE_SIZE buffer and if the output doesn't fit, it keeps
reallocating twice the size and repeating the output, thus the call to
list_location(). That's suboptimal.

Also we should probably mimic the return -ENOSYS approach of the sysfs variant
if tracking is not enabled for the cache.

You don't seem to be actually using the unique name?
When testing your patch, I don't see the hierarchy of /sys/kernel/slab mirrored
in /sys/kernel/debug/slab. There are no directories with the unique names and
symlinks from normal names, it seems all the caches that are aliases are just
missing completely from /sys/kernel/debug/slab

Was it intentional to rename alloc_calls and free_calls to alloc_trace and
free_trace? You should say in the changelog why.
I would agree with the new names as Oliver is in fact working on a patch to add
actual stack traces to the file instead of just immediate callers. And your
patch to move these files to debugfs to allow longer output is a required
prerequisity for that. But IMHO it would be more correct to call the files
"alloc_traces" and "free_traces".
