      SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely · 24922684
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Changes the error reporting format to loosely follow lockdep.

If data corruption is detected then we generate the following lines:

============================================
BUG <slab-cache>: <problem>
--------------------------------------------

INFO: <more information> [possibly multiple times]

<object dump>

FIX <slab-cache>: <remedial action>

This also adds some more intelligence to the data corruption detection. Its
now capable of figuring out the start and end.

Add a comment on how to configure SLUB so that a production system may
continue to operate even though occasional slab corruption occur through
a misbehaving kernel component. See "Emergency operations" in
Documentation/vm/slub.txt.

      SLUB: Fix NUMA / SYSFS bootstrap issue · 8ffa6875
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      We need this patch in ASAP.  Patch fixes the mysterious hang that remained
on some particular configurations with lockdep on after the first fix that
moved the #idef CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG to the right location.  See
http://marc.info/?t=117963072300001&r=1&w=2

The kmem_cache_node cache is very special because it is needed for NUMA
bootstrap.  Under certain conditions (like for example if lockdep is
enabled and significantly increases the size of spinlock_t) the structure
may become exactly the size as one of the larger caches in the kmalloc
array.

That early during bootstrap we cannot perform merging properly.  The unique
id for the kmem_cache_node cache will match one of the kmalloc array.
Sysfs will complain about a duplicate directory entry.  All of this occurs
while the console is not yet fully operational.  Thus boot may appear to be
silently failing.

The kmem_cache_node cache is very special.  During early boostrap the main
allocation function is not operational yet and so we have to run our own
small special alloc function during early boot.  It is also special in that
it is never freed.

We really do not want any merging on that cache.  Set the refcount -1 and
forbid merging of slabs that have a negative refcount.

      SLUB: remove nr_cpu_ids hack · bcf889f9
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      This was in SLUB in order to head off trouble while the nr_cpu_ids
functionality was not merged.  Its merged now so no need to still have this.

      slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab · 894b8788
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free

SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with
potential kfree operations.  This patch avoids that need by moving all free
objects onto a lockless_freelist.  The regular freelist continues to exist
and will be used to free objects.  So while we consume the
lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects.

If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the
regular freelist.  If it has objects then we move those over to the
lockless_freelist and do this again.  There is a significant savings in
terms of atomic operations that have to be performed.

We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are
running on the same processor.  So this speeds up short lived objects.
They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock.  This is
particular good for netperf.

In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the
hottest performance pieces into inlined functions.  These are then inlined
into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free.  So hotpath allocation and
freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB.

[I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to
read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops.  However, there is
someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems
that seems to show a 5% regression vs.  Slab.  Seems that the regression is
due to increased atomic operations use vs.  SLAB in SLUB).  I wonder if
this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?]
