This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-235.el6 Got no kmemleak in ppc64 or ipr driver in RHEL 6.2 GA kernel -220. The folder of "/sys/kernel/slab" in comment 0 cannot be found in debug kernel, no idea how to enable it. Sanity Only. Please feel free to comment if you have sufficient test case. Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For information on the advisory, and where to find the updated files, follow the link below.

Description of problem: Upstream commit f7c9c6bb14f3104608a3a83cadea10a6943d2804 Author: Anton Blanchard <anton> Date: Thu Nov 3 08:56:22 2011 +1100 [SCSI] Fix block queue and elevator memory leak in scsi_alloc_sdev When looking at memory consumption issues I noticed quite a lot of memory in the kmalloc-2048 bucket: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 6561 6471 98% 2.30K 243 27 15552K kmalloc-2048 Over 15MB. slub debug shows that cfq is responsible for almost all of it: # sort -nr /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls 6402 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=43423/43564/43655 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13 In scsi_alloc_sdev we do scsi_alloc_queue but if slave_alloc fails we don't free it with scsi_free_queue. The patch below fixes the issue: OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 135 72 53% 2.30K 5 27 320K kmalloc-2048 # cat /sys/kernel/slab/kmalloc-2048/alloc_calls 3 .cfq_init_queue+0xec/0x460 age=3811/3876/3925 pid=1 cpus=4,11,13 Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton> Cc: <stable> #2.6.38+ Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley> Also required is the follow-on fix: Upstream commit 4e6c82b3614a18740ef63109d58743a359266daf Author: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley> Date: Mon Nov 7 08:51:24 2011 -0600 [SCSI] fix WARNING: at drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1704 On Mon, 2011-11-07 at 17:24 +1100, Stephen Rothwell wrote: > Hi all, > > Starting some time last week I am getting the following during boot on > our PPC970 blade: > > calling .ipr_init+0x0/0x68 @ 1 > ipr: IBM Power RAID SCSI Device Driver version: 2.5.2 (April 27, 2011) > ipr 0000:01:01.0: Found IOA with IRQ: 26 > ipr 0000:01:01.0: Starting IOA initialization sequence. > ipr 0000:01:01.0: Adapter firmware version: 06160039 > ipr 0000:01:01.0: IOA initialized. > scsi0 : IBM 572E Storage Adapter > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > WARNING: at drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1704 > Modules linked in: > NIP: c00000000053b3d4 LR: c00000000053e5b0 CTR: c000000000541d70 > REGS: c0000000783c2f60 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (3.1.0-autokern1) > MSR: 8000000000029032 <EE,ME,CE,IR,DR> CR: 24002024 XER: 20000002 > TASK = c0000000783b8000[1] 'swapper' THREAD: c0000000783c0000 CPU: 0 > GPR00: 0000000000000001 c0000000783c31e0 c000000000cf38b0 c00000000239a9d0 > GPR04: c000000000cbe8f8 0000000000000000 c0000000783c3040 0000000000000000 > GPR08: c000000075daf488 c000000078a3b7ff c000000000bcacc8 0000000000000000 > GPR12: 0000000044002028 c000000007ffb000 0000000002e40000 000000000099b800 > GPR16: 0000000000000000 c000000000bba5fc c000000000a61db8 0000000000000000 > GPR20: 0000000001b77200 0000000000000000 c000000078990000 0000000000000001 > GPR24: c000000002396828 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 c000000078a3b938 > GPR28: fffffffffffffffa c0000000008ad2c0 c000000000c7faa8 c00000000239a9d0 > NIP [c00000000053b3d4] .scsi_free_queue+0x24/0x90 > LR [c00000000053e5b0] .scsi_alloc_sdev+0x280/0x2e0 > Call Trace: > [c0000000783c31e0] [c000000000c7faa8] wireless_seq_fops+0x278d0/0x2eb88 (unreliable) > [c0000000783c3270] [c00000000053e5b0] .scsi_alloc_sdev+0x280/0x2e0 > [c0000000783c3330] [c00000000053eba0] .scsi_probe_and_add_lun+0x390/0xb40 > [c0000000783c34a0] [c00000000053f7ec] .__scsi_scan_target+0x16c/0x650 > [c0000000783c35f0] [c00000000053fd90] .scsi_scan_channel+0xc0/0x100 > [c0000000783c36a0] [c00000000053fefc] .scsi_scan_host_selected+0x12c/0x1c0 > [c0000000783c3750] [c00000000083dcb4] .ipr_probe+0x2c0/0x390 > [c0000000783c3830] [c0000000003f50b4] .local_pci_probe+0x34/0x50 > [c0000000783c38a0] [c0000000003f5f78] .pci_device_probe+0x148/0x150 > [c0000000783c3950] [c0000000004e1e8c] .driver_probe_device+0xdc/0x210 > [c0000000783c39f0] [c0000000004e20cc] .__driver_attach+0x10c/0x110 > [c0000000783c3a80] [c0000000004e1228] .bus_for_each_dev+0x98/0xf0 > [c0000000783c3b30] [c0000000004e1bf8] .driver_attach+0x28/0x40 > [c0000000783c3bb0] [c0000000004e07d8] .bus_add_driver+0x218/0x340 > [c0000000783c3c60] [c0000000004e2a2c] .driver_register+0x9c/0x1b0 > [c0000000783c3d00] [c0000000003f62d4] .__pci_register_driver+0x64/0x140 > [c0000000783c3da0] [c000000000b99f88] .ipr_init+0x4c/0x68 > [c0000000783c3e20] [c00000000000ad24] .do_one_initcall+0x1a4/0x1e0 > [c0000000783c3ee0] [c000000000b512d0] .kernel_init+0x14c/0x1fc > [c0000000783c3f90] [c000000000022468] .kernel_thread+0x54/0x70 > Instruction dump: > ebe1fff8 7c0803a6 4e800020 7c0802a6 fba1ffe8 fbe1fff8 7c7f1b78 f8010010 > f821ff71 e8030398 3120ffff 7c090110 <0b000000> e86303b0 482de065 60000000 > ---[ end trace 759bed76a85e8dec ]--- > scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access IBM-ESXS MAY2036RC T106 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 > ------------[ cut here ]------------ > > I get lots more of these.
