[PATCH v13 0/9] ref_tracker: add ability to register a debugfs file for a ref_tracker_dir

[PATCH v13 0/9] ref_tracker: add ability to register a debugfs file for a ref_tracker_dir

[Jeff Layton]

For those just joining in, this series adds a new top-level
"ref_tracker" debugfs directory, and has each ref_tracker_dir register a
file in there as part of its initialization. It also adds the ability to
register a symlink with a more human-usable name that points to the
file, and does some general cleanup of how the ref_tracker object names
are handled.

This reposting is mostly to address Krzysztof's comments. I've dropped
the i915 patch, and rebased the rest of the series on top.

Note that I still see debugfs: warnings in the i915 driver even when we
gate the registration of the debugfs file on the classname pointer being
NULL. Here is a CI report from v12:

    https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/Patchwork_148490v8/bat-arls-6/igt@i915_selftest@live@workarounds.html

I think the i915 driver is doing something it shouldn't with these
objects. They seem to be initialized more than once, which could lead
to leaked ref_tracker objects. It would be good for one of the i915
maintainers to comment on whether this is a real problem.

[PATCH v13 1/9] ref_tracker: don't use %pK in pr_ostream() output

[Jeff Layton]

As Thomas Weißschuh points out [1], it is now preferable to use %p
instead of hashed pointers with printk(), since raw pointers should no
longer be leaked into the kernel log. Change the ref_tracker
infrastructure to use %p instead of %pK in its formats.

[PATCH v13 2/9] ref_tracker: add a top level debugfs directory for ref_tracker

[Jeff Layton]

Add a new "ref_tracker" directory in debugfs. Each individual refcount
tracker can register files under there to display info about
currently-held references.

[PATCH v13 3/9] ref_tracker: have callers pass output function to pr_ostream()

[Jeff Layton]

In a later patch, we'll be adding a 3rd mechanism for outputting
ref_tracker info via seq_file. Instead of a conditional, have the caller
set a pointer to an output function in struct ostream. As part of this,
the log prefix must be explicitly passed in, as it's too late for the
pr_fmt macro.

[PATCH v13 4/9] ref_tracker: add a static classname string to each ref_tracker_dir

[Jeff Layton]

A later patch in the series will be adding debugfs files for each
ref_tracker that get created in ref_tracker_dir_init(). The format will
be "class@%px". The current "name" string can vary between
ref_tracker_dir objects of the same type, so it's not suitable for this
purpose.

Add a new "class" string to the ref_tracker dir that describes the
the type of object (sans any individual info for that object).

Also, in the i915 driver, gate the creation of debugfs files on whether
the dentry pointer is still set to NULL. CI has shown that the
ref_tracker_dir can be initialized more than once.

[PATCH v13 5/9] ref_tracker: allow pr_ostream() to print directly to a seq_file

[Jeff Layton]

Allow pr_ostream to also output directly to a seq_file without an
intermediate buffer. The first caller of +ref_tracker_dir_seq_print()
will come in a later patch, so mark that __maybe_unused for now. That
designation will be removed once it is used.

[PATCH v13 6/9] ref_tracker: automatically register a file in debugfs for a ref_tracker_dir

[Jeff Layton]

Currently, there is no convenient way to see the info that the
ref_tracking infrastructure collects. Attempt to create a file in
debugfs when called from ref_tracker_dir_init().

The file is given the name "class@%px", as having the unmodified address
is helpful for debugging. This should be safe since this directory is only
accessible by root

If debugfs file creation fails, a pr_warn will be isssued.

[PATCH v13 8/9] net: add symlinks to ref_tracker_dir for netns

[Jeff Layton]

After assigning the inode number to the namespace, use it to create a
unique name for each netns refcount tracker with the ns.inum and
net_cookie values in it, and register a symlink to the debugfs file for
it.

init_net is registered before the ref_tracker dir is created, so add a
late_initcall() to register its files and symlinks.

[PATCH v13 9/9] ref_tracker: eliminate the ref_tracker_dir name field

[Jeff Layton]

Now that we have dentries and the ability to create meaningful symlinks
to them, don't keep a name string in each tracker. Switch the output
format to print "class@address", and drop the name field.

Also, add a kerneldoc header for ref_tracker_dir_init().

I still see the fs crashes:
https://netdev-3.bots.linux.dev/vmksft-packetdrill-dbg/results/149560/2-tcp-slow-start-slow-start-app-limited-pkt/stderr
I'll hide this series from patchwork for now. We will pull from Linus
on Thu, I'll reactivate it and let's see if the problem was already
fixed.

Ah.  I dropped the copy from mm.git.

Sorry, I never got any mail about those failures. I would have looked
at that sooner. It looks like the last netns reference can be put in a
rcu callback? That makes sense.

I think ref_tracker_dir_exit() has to remain safe to call from any
context. Perhaps we can defer the dentry deletion to the system_wq?

We can drop this series for now. I'll have to think about this.

Thanks,
