slub: consider pfmemalloc_match() in get_partial_node()
get_partial() is currently not checking pfmemalloc_match() meaning that it is possible for pfmemalloc pages to leak to non-pfmemalloc users. This is a problem in the following situation. Assume that there is a request from normal allocation and there are no objects in the per-cpu cache and no node-partial slab. In this case, slab_alloc enters the slow path and new_slab_objects() is called which may return a PFMEMALLOC page. As the current user is not allowed to access PFMEMALLOC page, deactivate_slab() is called ([5091b74a: mm: slub: optimise the SLUB fast path to avoid pfmemalloc checks]) and returns an object from PFMEMALLOC page. Next time, when we get another request from normal allocation, slab_alloc() enters the slow-path and calls new_slab_objects(). In new_slab_objects(), we call get_partial() and get a partial slab which was just deactivated but is a pfmemalloc page. We extract one object from it and re-deactivate. "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial -> re-deactivate" occures repeatedly. As a result, access to PFMEMALLOC page is not properly restricted and it can cause a performance degradation due to frequent deactivation. deactivation frequently. This patch changes get_partial_node() to take pfmemalloc_match() into account and prevents the "deactivate -> re-get in get_partial() scenario. Instead, new_slab() is called.
