2017-12-18android: binder: Check for errors in binder_alloc_shrinker_init().Tetsuo Handa1-1/+1
Both list_lru_init() and register_shrinker() might return an error. Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-11-28ANDROID: binder: show high watermark of alloc->pages.Martijn Coenen1-0/+2
Show the high watermark of the index into the alloc->pages array, to facilitate sizing the buffer on a per-process basis. Signed-off-by: Martijn Coenen <maco@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-10-21android: binder: Don't get mm from taskSherry Yang1-1/+0
Use binder_alloc struct's mm_struct rather than getting a reference to the mm struct through get_task_mm to avoid a potential deadlock between lru lock, task lock and dentry lock, since a thread can be holding the task lock and the dentry lock while trying to acquire the lru lock.

Add the number of active, lru, and free pages for each binder process in binder stats Signed-off-by: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-08-28android: binder: Add global lru shrinker to binderSherry Yang1-3/+20
Hold on to the pages allocated and mapped for transaction buffers until the system is under memory pressure. When that happens, use linux shrinker to free pages. Without using shrinker, patch "android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user space" will cause a significant slow down for small transactions that fit into the first page because free list buffer header used to be inlined with buffer data. In addition to prevent the performance regression for small transactions, this patch improves the performance for transactions that take up more than one page. Modify alloc selftest to work with the shrinker change. Test: Run memory intensive applications (Chrome and Camera) to trigger shrinker callbacks. Binder frees memory as expected. Test: Run binderThroughputTest with high memory pressure option enabled. Signed-off-by: Sherry Yang <sherryy@android.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-08-28android: binder: Move buffer out of area shared with user spaceSherry Yang1-1/+1
Binder driver allocates buffer meta data in a region that is mapped in user space. These meta data contain pointers in the kernel. This patch allocates buffer meta data on the kernel heap that is not mapped in user space, and uses a pointer to refer to the data mapped.

2017-08-28android: binder: Add allocator selftestSherry Yang1-0/+5
binder_alloc_selftest tests that alloc_new_buf handles page allocation and deallocation properly when allocate and free buffers. The test allocates 5 buffers of various sizes to cover all possible page alignment cases, and frees the buffers using a list of exhaustive freeing order. Test: boot the device with ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST config option enabled. Allocator selftest passes.

2017-07-17binder: protect against two threads freeing bufferTodd Kjos1-3/+4
Adds protection against malicious user code freeing the same buffer at the same time which could cause a crash. Cannot happen under normal use. Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2017-07-17binder: move binder_alloc to separate fileTodd Kjos1-0/+162
Move the binder allocator functionality to its own file Continuation of splitting the binder allocator from the binder driver. Split binder_alloc functions from normal binder functions. Add kernel doc comments to functions declared extern in binder_alloc.h Signed-off-by: Todd Kjos <tkjos@google.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
