| * | slub,rcu: don't assume the size of struct rcu_headLai Jiangshan2011-03-111-5/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The size of struct rcu_head may be changed. When it becomes larger, it will pollute the page array. We reserve some some bytes for struct rcu_head when a slab is allocated in this situation.

| * | slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slabLai Jiangshan2011-03-111-17/+30
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page. But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need to add some metadata for slab. So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved at the end of the slab for slab's metadata. Changed from v1: Export the reserved field via sysfs Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

* | slub: fix kmemcheck calls to match ksize() hintsEric Dumazet2011-02-231-23/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent use of ksize() in network stack (commit ca44ac38 : net: don't reallocate skb->head unless the current one hasn't the needed extra size or is shared) triggers kmemcheck warnings, because ksize() can return more space than kmemcheck is aware of. Pekka Enberg noticed SLAB+kmemcheck is doing the right thing, while SLUB +kmemcheck doesnt.

| * slub: Avoid use of slub_lock in show_slab_objects()Christoph Lameter2011-01-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the locking is to prevent removal and additions of nodes when statistics are gathered for a slab cache. So we need to avoid racing with memory hotplug functionality. It is enough to take the memory hotplug locks there instead of the slub_lock. online_pages() currently does not acquire the memory_hotplug lock. Another patch will be submitted by the memory hotplug authors to take the memory hotplug lock and describe the uses of the memory hotplug lock to protect against adding and removal of nodes from non hotplug data structures.

Oops. exactly because the name is not handled correctly, and you'll have module B holding open a slab cache that has a name pointer that points to module A that no longer exists.

| | | * slub numa: Fix rare allocation from unexpected nodeChristoph Lameter2010-07-291-1/+1
| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The network developers have seen sporadic allocations resulting in objects coming from unexpected NUMA nodes despite asking for objects from a specific node. This is due to get_partial() calling get_any_partial() if partial slabs are exhausted for a node even if a node was specified and therefore one would expect allocations only from the specified node. get_any_partial() sporadically may return a slab from a foreign node to gradually reduce the size of partial lists on remote nodes and thereby reduce total memory use for a slab cache. The behavior is controlled by the remote_defrag_ratio of each cache. Strictly speaking this is permitted behavior since __GFP_THISNODE was not specified for the allocation but it is certain surprising. This patch makes sure that the remote defrag behavior only occurs if no node was specified.

| | * slub: Allow removal of slab caches during bootChristoph Lameter2010-08-031-9/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Serialize kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache_destroy using the slub_lock. Only possible after the use of the slub_lock during dynamic dma creation has been removed. Then make sure that the setup of the slab sysfs entries does not race with kmem_cache_create and kmem_cache destroy. If a slab cache is removed before we have setup sysfs then simply skip over the sysfs handling.

| | * slub: Use kmem_cache flags to detect if slab is in debugging mode.Christoph Lameter2010-07-161-21/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cacheline with the flags is reachable from the hot paths after the percpu allocator changes went in. So there is no need anymore to put a flag into each slab page. Get rid of the SlubDebug flag and use the flags in kmem_cache instead.
