Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
With r284861, UMA zones use the trash ctor and dtor by default. This is
incompatible with memguard, which frees the backing page when the item
is freed. Modify the UMA debug functions to be no-ops if the item was
allocated from memguard. This also fixes constructors such as
mb_ctor_pack(), which invokes the trash ctor in addition to performing
some initialization.

- Be more explicit about zone vs keg locking. This functionally changes
almost nothing.
- Add a size parameter to uma_zcache_create() so we can size the buckets.
- Pass the zone to bucket_alloc() so it can modify allocation flags
as appropriate.
- Fix a bug in zone_alloc_bucket() where I missed an address of operator
in a failure case. (Found by pho)

overhead and is cheaper in most cases.
- Use a second bitmap for invariants asserts and improve the quality of
the asserts as well as the number of erroneous conditions that we will
catch.
- Drastically simplify sizing code. Special case refcnt zones since they
will be going away.
- Update stale comments.

state management corruption, mbuf leaks, general mbuf corruption,
and at least on i386 a first level splash damage radius that
encompasses up to about half a megabyte of the memory after
an mbuf cluster's allocation slab. In short, this has caused
instability nightmares anywhere the right kind of network traffic
is present.
When the polymorphic refcount slabs were added to UMA, the new types
were not used pervasively. In particular, the slab management
structure was turned into one for refcounts, and one for non-refcounts
(supposed to be mostly like the old slab management structure),
but the latter was almost always used through out. In general, every
access to zones with UMA_ZONE_REFCNT turned on corrupted the
"next free" slab offset offset and the refcount with each other and
with other allocations (on i386, 2 mbuf clusters per 4096 byte slab).
Fix things so that the right type is used to access refcounted zones
where it was not before. There are additional errors in gross
overestimation of padding, it seems, that would cause a large kegs
(nee zones) to be allocated when small ones would do. Unless I have
analyzed this incorrectly, it is not directly harmful.
so that they know whether the allocation is supposed to be able to sleep
or not.
* Allow uma_zone constructors and initialation functions to return either
success or error. Almost all of the ones in the tree currently return
success unconditionally, but mbuf is a notable exception: the packet
zone constructor wants to be able to fail if it cannot suballocate an
mbuf cluster, and the mbuf allocators want to be able to fail in general
in a MAC kernel if the MAC mbuf initializer fails. This fixes the
panics people are seeing when they run out of memory for mbuf clusters.
* Allow debug.nosleepwithlocks on WITNESS to be disabled, without changing
the default.
Both bmilekic and jeff have reviewed the changes made to make failable
zone allocations work.
mbuma is an Mbuf & Cluster allocator built on top of a number of
extensions to the UMA framework, all included herein.
Extensions to UMA worth noting:
- Better layering between slab <-> zone caches; introduce
Keg structure which splits off slab cache away from the
zone structure and allows multiple zones to be stacked
on top of a single Keg (single type of slab cache);
perhaps we should look into defining a subset API on
top of the Keg for special use by malloc(9),
for example.
- UMA_ZONE_REFCNT zones can now be added, and reference
counters automagically allocated for them within the end
of the associated slab structures. uma_find_refcnt()
does a kextract to fetch the slab struct reference from
the underlying page, and lookup the corresponding refcnt.
mbuma things worth noting:
- integrates mbuf & cluster allocations with extended UMA
and provides caches for commonly-allocated items; defines
several zones (two primary, one secondary) and two kegs.
- change up certain code paths that always used to do:
m_get() + m_clget() to instead just use m_getcl() and
try to take advantage of the newly defined secondary
Packet zone.
- netstat(1) and systat(1) quickly hacked up to do basic
stat reporting but additional stats work needs to be
done once some other details within UMA have been taken
care of and it becomes clearer to how stats will work
within the modified framework.
From the user perspective, one implication is that the
NMBCLUSTERS compile-time option is no longer used. The
maximum number of clusters is still capped off according
to maxusers, but it can be made unlimited by setting
the kern.ipc.nmbclusters boot-time tunable to zero.
Work should be done to write an appropriate sysctl
handler allowing dynamic tuning of kern.ipc.nmbclusters
at runtime.
Additional things worth noting/known issues (READ):
- One report of 'ips' (ServeRAID) driver acting really
slow in conjunction with mbuma. Need more data.
Latest report is that ips is equally sucking with
and without mbuma.
- Giant leak in NFS code sometimes occurs, can't
reproduce but currently analyzing; brueffer is
able to reproduce but THIS IS NOT an mbuma-specific
problem and currently occurs even WITHOUT mbuma.
- Issues in network locking: there is at least one
code path in the rip code where one or more locks
are acquired and we end up in m_prepend() with
M_WAITOK, which causes WITNESS to whine from within
UMA. Current temporary solution: force all UMA
allocations to be M_NOWAIT from within UMA for now
to avoid deadlocks unless WITNESS is defined and we
can determine with certainty that we're not holding
any locks when we're M_WAITOK.
- I've seen at least one weird socketbuffer empty-but-
mbuf-still-attached panic. I don't believe this
to be related to mbuma but please keep your eyes
open, turn on debugging, and capture crash dumps.
This change removes more code than it adds.
A paper is available detailing the change and considering
various performance issues, it was presented at BSDCan2004:

kfree/kmalloc api and partially overhaul the malloc wrapper. This can't happen
until all users of the malloc api that expect memory to be aligned on the size

Implement the following checks on freed memory in the bucket path:
- Slab membership
- Alignment
- Duplicate free
This previously was only done if we skipped the buckets. This code will slow
down INVARIANTS a bit, but it is smp safe. The checks were moved out of the
normal path and into hooks supplied in uma_dbg.

of a new request. This will catch any post free/pre alloc modification of
memory, as well as introduce errors for anything that tries to dereference
it as a pointer.
This code takes the form of special init, fini, ctor and dtor routines that
are specificly used by malloc. It is in a seperate file because additional
debugging aids will want to live here as well.
