This is a new version (0.9) of the kernel memory leak detector. See
the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed
description. The patches are downloadable from (the whole patch or the
broken-out series):
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/patch-2.6.18-rc4-kmemleak-0.9.bz2
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cmarinas/kmemleak/broken-out/patches-kmemleak-0.9.tar.bz2
What's new in this version:
- updated for 2.6.18-rc4
- reviewers comments implemented
- the number of reports are limited to avoid soft-lockups in case of a
serious memory leak
- some bug-fixes (including one that was preventing the page-aligned
blocks from being reported)
To do:
- testing on a wider range of platforms and configurations
- support for ioremap tracking (once the generic ioremap patches are
merged)
- eliminate the task stacks scanning (if possible, by marking the
allocated blocks as temporary until the return to user-space -
Ingo's suggestion)
- precise type identification (after first assessing the efficiency of
the current method as it requires changes to the kernel API)

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>
This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak detector. It
traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to the Boehm's
conservative garbage collector, the difference being that the orphan
pointers are not freed but only shown in /proc/memleak. Enabling this
feature would introduce an overhead to memory allocations.

+Kernel Memory Leak Detector
+===========================
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Kmemleak provides a way of detecting possible kernel memory leaks in a
+way similar to a tracing garbage collector
+(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_collection_%28computer_science%29#Tracing_garbage_collectors),
+with the difference that the orphan pointers are not freed but only
+reported via /sys/kernel/debug/memleak. A similar method is used by
+the Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks
+in user-space applications.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMLEAK has to be enabled. For additional config options,
+look in:
+
+ -> Kernel hacking
+ -> Kernel debugging
+ -> Debug slab memory allocations
+ -> Kernel memory leak detector
+
+To display the possible memory leaks:
+
+ # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/memleak
+
+In order to reduce the run-time overhead, memory scanning is only
+performed when reading the /sys/kernel/debug/memleak file.
+
+
+Basic Algorithm
+---------------
+
+The memory allocations via kmalloc, vmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc and
+friends are tracked and the pointers, together with additional
+information like size and stack trace, are stored in a radix tree. The
+corresponding freeing function calls are tracked and the pointers
+removed from the radix tree.
+
+An allocated block of memory is considered orphan if a pointer to its
+start address or to an alias (pointer aliases are explained later)
+cannot be found by scanning the memory (including saved
+registers). This means that there might be no way for the kernel to
+pass the address of the allocated block to a freeing function and
+therefore the block is considered a leak.
+
+The scanning algorithm steps:
+
+ 1. mark all pointers as white (remaining white pointers will later
+ be considered orphan)
+ 2. scan the memory starting with the data section and stacks,
+ checking the values against the addresses stored in the radix
+ tree. If a white pointer is found, it is added to the grey list
+ 3. scan the grey pointers for matching addresses (some white
+ pointers can become grey and added at the end of the grey list)
+ until the grey set is finished
+ 4. the remaining white pointers are considered orphan and reported
+ via /sys/kernel/debug/memleak
+
+
+Improvements
+------------
+
+Because the Linux kernel calculates many pointers at run-time via the
+container_of macro (see the lists implementation), a lot of false
+positives would be reported. This tool re-writes the container_of
+macro so that the offset and type information is stored in the
+.init.memleak_offsets section. The memleak_init() function creates a
+radix tree with corresponding offsets for every encountered block
+type. The memory allocations hook stores the pointer address together
+with its aliases based on the type of the allocated block.
+
+While one level of offsets should be enough for most cases, a second
+level, i.e. container_of(container_of(...)), can be enabled via the
+configuration options (one false positive is the "struct socket_alloc"
+allocation in the sock_alloc_inode() function).
+
+Some allocated memory blocks have pointers stored in the kernel's
+internal data structures and they cannot be detected as orphans. To
+avoid this, kmemleak can also store the number of values equal to the
+pointer (or aliases) that need to be found so that the block is not
+considered a leak. One example is __vmalloc().
+
+
+Limitations and Drawbacks
+-------------------------
+
+The biggest drawback is the reduced performance of memory allocation
+and freeing. To avoid other penalties, the memory scanning is only
+performed when the /sys/kernel/debug/memleak file is read. Anyway,
+this tool is intended for debugging purposes where the performance
+might not be the most important requirement.
+
+Kmemleak currently approximates the type id using the sizeof()
+compiler built-in function. This is not accurate and can lead to false
+negatives. The aim is to gradually change the kernel and kmemleak to
+do more precise type identification.
+
+Another source of false negatives is the data stored in non-pointer
+values. Together with the more precise type identification, kmemleak
+could only scan the pointer members in the allocated structures.
+
+The tool can report false positives. These are cases where an
+allocated block doesn't need to be freed (some cases in the init_call
+functions), the pointer is calculated by other methods than the
+container_of macro or the pointer is stored in a location not scanned
+by kmemleak. If the "member" argument in the offsetof(type, member)
+call is not constant, kmemleak considers the offset as zero since it
+cannot be determined at compilation time.
+
+Page allocations and ioremap are not tracked. Only the ARM and i386
+architectures are currently supported.
+
+
+Kmemleak API
+------------
+
+See the include/linux/memleak.h header for the functions prototype.
+
+memleak_init - initialize kmemleak
+memleak_alloc - notify of a memory block allocation
+memleak_free - notify of a memory block freeing
+memleak_padding - mark the boundaries of the data inside the block
+memleak_not_leak - mark a pointer as not a leak
+memleak_ignore - do not scan or report a pointer as leak
+memleak_scan_area - add scan areas inside a memory block
+memleak_insert_aliases - add aliases for a given type
+memleak_erase - erase an old value in a pointer variable
+memleak_typeid_raw - set the typeid for an allocated block
+memleak_container - statically declare a pointer alias
+memleak_typeid - set the typeid for an allocated block (takes
+ a type rather than typeid as argument)
+
+
+Dealing with false positives/negatives
+--------------------------------------
+
+To reduce the false negatives, kmemleak provides the memleak_ignore,
+memleak_scan_area and memleak_erase functions. The task stacks also
+increase the amount of false negatives and their scanning is not
+enabled by default.
+
+To eliminate the false positives caused by code allocating a different
+size from the object one (either for alignment or for extra memory
+after the end of the structure), kmemleak provides the memleak_padding
+and memleak_typeid functions.
+
+For pointers known not to be leaks, kmemleak provides the
+memleak_not_leak function. The memleak_ignore could also be used if
+the memory block is known not to contain other pointers as it will no
+longer be scanned.

This patch adds the callbacks to memleak_(alloc|free) functions from
kmalloc/kfree, kmem_cache_(alloc|free), vmalloc/vfree etc.

There are allocations for which the main pointer cannot be found but they
are not memory leaks. This patch fixes some of them.

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>
This patch adds the CONFIG_DEBUG_KEEP_INIT option which preserves the
.init.text section after initialization. Memory leaks happening during this
phase can be more easily tracked.

Thanks for this. Did you get this with the previous version of
kmemleak (0.8) or you just tried it now.
I'll have a look.

It's kmemleak 0.9 issue. I have tested kmemleak 0.8 on 2.6.18-rc1and
2.6.18-rc2. I haven't seen this before.

I don't think I fully understand the slab locking, maybe some other
kernel guys could help with this, but lockdep is probably right (the
lock could happen on SMP systems).
It looks like lockdep complains that memleak_lock is acquired while
list_lock is held and there is a possibility that (on a different CPU)
memleak_lock was acquired first, followed by list_lock acquiring and
therefore a deadlock.
The kmemleak+slab locking is a bit complicated because memleak itself
needs to allocate memory and avoid recursive calls to it (the
pointer_cache and the radix_tree allocations). The kmemleak-related
allocations are not tracked by kmemleak.
I see the following solutions:
1. acquire the memleak_lock at the beginning of an alloc/free function
and release it when finished while allowing recursive/nested calls
(and only call the memleak_* functions during the outermost lock).
This would mean ignoring the off-slab management allocations as these
would lead to deadlock because of the recursive call into kmemleak.
This locking should be placed around cache_reap() as well (actually,
around all the entry points in the mm/slab.c file).
2. do an independent (simple) memory management in kmemleak and
probably replace radix_tree with prio_tree as the latter doesn't seem
to require allocations.
The first option is simple to implement but it has the disadvantage of
serializing the slab calls on SMP and also not tracking the mm/slab.c
allocations. The second one would provide full coverage of the kernel
slab allocations but it is probably more difficult to implement.
Any thoughts/suggestions on this?
Thanks.

This would actually work because the slab allocation functions may sleep.
The simple solution would be to eliminate the memory allocations when
memleak_lock is held, maybe by replacing the radix tree with a prio
search tree (not sure what the performance impact will be). I'll try
to go this route and see how it works.

it looks like it was caused by commit
fc818301a8a39fedd7f0a71f878f29130c72193d where free_block() now calls
slab_destroy() with l3->list_lock held.
The prio_tree use (which doesn't alloc memory) instead of the
radix_tree is about 4 times slower when scanning the memory and I
don't think I'll use it.
It leaves me with the options of either implementing my own memory
allocator based on pages (including a simple hash table instead of
radix tree) or fix the locking in kmemleak so that memory allocations
happen without memleak_lock held. The latter is a bit complicated as
well since any slab allocation causes a re-entrance into kmemleak.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm not sure it's a good idea, it might have other implications in
slab.c. I better fix kmemleak (I think currently you could get a
deadlock only on SMP).

I haven't looked at these patches in detail but they look like making
the slab allocator cleaner.
Anyway, I still need to revisit the locking in kmemleak and not rely
on future changes to slab.c. At the moment I think I can avoid any
kmemleak locks when allocating memory (by using radix_tree_preload
with the radix trees). If this still fails, I'll think about writing
my own, very simple, memory allocator and avoid the re-entrance
problem.
Thanks.

But this one allocates page-order size objects. I usually have plenty
of small objects in kmemleak.

I attach a patch for kmemleak-0.9 which seems to work for me. It has a
new locking mechanism in that memory allocations are performed without
memleak_lock held. Let me know if you still get errors (I haven't
fully tested it yet).
Thanks.

Do you have the complete dmesg output? There should be a different
path which I missed (I didn't get this yestarday but I haven't tried
with the latest patch I sent to you today).

Thanks. It is strange - I was under the impression that calling
radix_tree_preload() outside the memleak_lock holding would actually
prevent radix_tree_insert() from allocating a node (and therefore call
kmem_cache_alloc and acquire the list_lock). I'll look at the
radix_tree code this weekend. I'm looking at implementing some kind of
RCU mechanism in kmemleak to avoid future problems (might need changed
to radix_tree as well).

I got this as well today on an 4-CPU ARM platform. I changed some list
traversal to the RCU variants but forgot to change the list_del/add. I
attach another patch which fixes this (haven't tested it extensively
yet).
Thanks.

The second one is probably a false positive as the stored pointer is
different from the one returned by kmalloc (there is some padding).
I'll add it to the kmemleak-false-positives patch.
The first one might be a real leak. Anotonino, any idea about this?
Thanks.

Looking at the code, I don't think it is too large. Anyway, it is just
a temporary false positive as it seems to only be present in some of
the files in your tarball.

Thanks, but some of them look like real leaks :-) - delayacct_tsk_init
- I'll post a separate e-mail for this.
Have you seen any crashes or lockdep reports with the latest kmemleak patches?

Yes, I think it's triggered by the padding:
new_data += FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int);
The free'ing in fbcon_do_set_font() takes into account the padding:
if (old_data && (--REFCOUNT(old_data) == 0))
kfree(old_data - FONT_EXTRA_WORDS * sizeof(int));

On boot, vc->vc_screenbuf is allocated by alloc_bootmem() (vc->kmalloced
== 0), so yes, there's a leak in there . But I don't think we have a way
to deallocate this type of memory, so we just let it go.

It's not the leak caused by alloc_bootmem as kmemleak doesn't track
this kind of allocations. The block allocated via kmalloc in
vc_resize() is reported as unreferenced. However, I think that's a
false positive because it looks like the vc_screenbuf pointer is
stored in vc_cons[].d->vc_screenbuf which is allocated by
alloc_bootmem in con_init() and kmemleak doesn't track the
alloc_bootmem blocks. I'll fix kmemleak.
Thanks.

FYI, I couldn't fix the locking dependency issues without modifying
the radix-tree implementation since even if you preload the tree
outside the memleak lock, it still tries to allocate memory in
radix_tree_insert.
I'll instead use a hash table (together with hlist) where I can
control the memory allocations and make more use of RCU. In my few
initial tests, the memory search with hash tables is about the same
speed (if not slightly faster) as the radix-tree implementation.
I will post a new kmemleak version by the end of this week.
