Re: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 495 at mm/slab_common.c:69 kmem_cache_create+0x1a9/0x330()

[Vladimir Davydov]

Slab warns, because the name of the cache being created contains spaces.
The "bad" cache is created by scsi_get_host_cmd_pool. Its name
(pool->cmd_name) is initialized by scsi_alloc_host_cmd_pool as follows:

	pool->cmd_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s_cmd", hostt->name);

So, if hostt->name contains spaces, the cache name will also contain
spaces and we'll get the warning. And hostt->name can contain spaces,
e.g. virtscsi_host_template_single.name="Virtio SCSI HBA".

The issue was introduced by commit 89d9a567952ba ("[SCSI] add support
for per-host cmd pools"). It can be fixed e.g. by substituting spaces
with underscores in cache names.

Adding the patch author and reviewers to Cc.

Or might not even be present.  I'll send a patch to replace it with
->proc_name, which must not contain spaces and is generally shorter
as well.

This fixes a bug in the 3.16 kernel.  Why wouldn't it be sent to Linus
for inclusion in the final release there?

I'm only collecting patches for scsi, but James remains formal maintainer, so
I don't send anything to Linus.  Given that delays between me committing
things, them getting picked up by James and finally making it to Linux-next I
don't feel like another for-3.16 branch at this point is easily workable.

If James wants to cherry pick it and send it on at this time that might
still work fine, but he seems fairly busy.

It's been remarkably current, I believe ... it's already up to date.
However, we only have 2 -next builds between now and the anticipated
3.16 release (unless Linus does another -rc) so there's not enough time
for a patch that isn't already in (although this one is).

I'll pull it out and refactor the tree.

I've updated the drivers tree today and it will get a few more updates
さoon.

Yes, that's why I'm not eager to complicate things.

I'd rather stop rebasing this close to the release.  Linus never had
problems if he got a commit twice due to a cherry pick.

Some drivers like qla2xxx do not set proc_name. I think if 2 drivers
like that are loaded then you will hit some other warns/bugs in the kmem
cache setup code right?

Drivers have to opt into using their own caches by setting .cmd_size
in the host template.  We could enforce they set ->proc_name for them,
but I'd rather keep the amount of sanity checks low unless there's a real
need.

OK, so lets send this through normal merge window then we get time to
see if there's a problem before the backport to stable happens.

Cache names should not contain blanks. I guess the

  WARN_ON(strchr(name, ' '));     /* It confuses parsers */

was triggered?
