cover SLUB: Cleanups

These are just the 6 remaining cleanup patches (after the 2.6.36 merge got the other in) in preparation for the Unified patches.

I think it may be best to first try to merge these and make sure that they are fine before we go step by step through the unification patches. I hope they can go into -next.

Patch 1

Uninline debug functions in hot paths. There is no point of the compiler folding them in because they are typically unused.

Patch 2

Remove dynamic creation of DMA caches and create them statically (will be turned dynamic by patch 4 but will then always be preallocated on boot and not from the hotpath)

Patch 3

Remove static allocation of kmem_cache_cpu array and rely on the percpu allocator to allocate memory for the array on bootup.

Patch 4

Remove static allocation of kmem_cache structure for kmalloc and friends.

Patch 5

Extract hooks for memory checkers.

Patch 6

Move gfpflag masking out of the allocator hotpath

PATCH 1/6 Slub: Force no inlining of debug functions

Compiler folds the debgging functions into the critical paths. Avoid that by adding noinline to the functions that check for problems.

Compiler folds the debgging functions into the critical paths. Avoid that by adding noinline to the functions that check for problems.

This certainly generates better code for __slab_alloc() and __slab_free().

PATCH 2/6 slub: remove dynamic dma slab allocation

In reply to Christoph Lameter

Remove the dynamic dma slab allocation since this causes too many issues with nested locks etc etc. The change avoids passing gfpflags into many functions.

V3->V4:
- Create dma caches in kmem_cache_init() instead of kmem_cache_init_late().

early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() is called when we don't have a gfp_allowed_mask, so this is actually GFP_NOWAIT.

The page allocator will do the conversion anyway but I will update it. We cannot do this consistenly for code sections that can be run both at boot time and later though.

Heh, if it gets that high, probably the right thing to do is to define SLUB_PERCPU_EARLY_SIZE and define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE in terms of it.

Hmmm... Wrong struct name. This needs to be struct kmem_cache_cpu not struct kmem_cache. struct kmem_cache_cpu is sufficiently small.

PATCH 4/6 slub: Dynamically size kmalloc cache allocations

In reply to Christoph Lameter

kmalloc caches are statically defined and may take up a lot of space just because the sizes of the node array has to be dimensioned for the largest node count supported.

This patch makes the size of the kmem_cache structure dynamic throughout by creating a kmem_cache slab cache for the kmem_cache objects. The bootstrap occurs by allocating the initial one or two kmem_cache objects from the page allocator.

PATCH 6/6 slub: Move gfpflag masking out of the hotpath

In reply to Christoph Lameter

Move the gfpflags masking into the hooks for checkers and into the slowpaths. gfpflag masking requires access to a global variable and thus adds an additional cacheline reference to the hotpaths.

If no hooks are active then the gfpflag masking will result in code that the compiler can toss out.
