d7278bd7d1 slub: Check kasprintf results in kmem_cache_init()
Small allocations may fail during slab bringup which is fatal. Add a BUG_ON()
so that we fail immediately rather than failing later during sysfs
processing.

c0ff7453bb cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems
Before applying this patch, cpuset updates task->mems_allowed and
mempolicy by setting all new bits in the nodemask first, and clearing all
old unallowed bits later.  But in the way, the allocator may find that
there is no node to alloc memory.

The reason is that cpuset rebinds the task's mempolicy, it cleans the
nodes which the allocater can alloc pages on, for example:

(mpol: mempolicy)
	task1			task1's mpol	task2
	alloc page		1
	  alloc on node0? NO	1
				1		change mems from 1 to 0
				1		rebind task1's mpol
				0-1		  set new bits
				0	  	  clear disallowed bits
	  alloc on node1? NO	0
	  ...
	can't alloc page
	  goto oom

This patch fixes this problem by expanding the nodes range first(set newly
allowed bits) and shrink it lazily(clear newly disallowed bits).  So we
use a variable to tell the write-side task that read-side task is reading
nodemask, and the write-side task clears newly disallowed nodes after
read-side task ends the current memory allocation.

73367bd8ee slub: move kmem_cache_node into it's own cacheline
This patch is meant to improve the performance of SLUB by moving the local
kmem_cache_node lock into it's own cacheline separate from kmem_cache.
This is accomplished by simply removing the local_node when NUMA is enabled.

On my system with 2 nodes I saw around a 5% performance increase w/
hackbench times dropping from 6.2 seconds to 5.9 seconds on average.  I
suspect the performance gain would increase as the number of nodes
increases, but I do not have the data to currently back that up.

6b65aaf302 slub: Use alloc_pages_exact_node() for page allocation
The alloc_slab_page() in SLUB uses alloc_pages() if node is '-1'.  This means
that node validity check in alloc_pages_node is unnecessary and we can use
alloc_pages_exact_node() to avoid comparison and branch as commit
6484eb3e2a ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller
knows the node is valid") did for the page allocator.

ff12059ed1 SLUB: this_cpu: Remove slub kmem_cache fields
Remove the fields in struct kmem_cache_cpu that were used to cache data from
struct kmem_cache when they were in different cachelines. The cacheline that
holds the per cpu array pointer now also holds these values. We can cut down
the struct kmem_cache_cpu size to almost half.

The get_freepointer() and set_freepointer() functions that used to be only
intended for the slow path now are also useful for the hot path since access
to the size field does not require accessing an additional cacheline anymore.
This results in consistent use of functions for setting the freepointer of
objects throughout SLUB.

Also we initialize all possible kmem_cache_cpu structures when a slab is
created. No need to initialize them when a processor or node comes online.

9dfc6e68bf SLUB: Use this_cpu operations in slub
Using per cpu allocations removes the needs for the per cpu arrays in the
kmem_cache struct. These could get quite big if we have to support systems
with thousands of cpus. The use of this_cpu_xx operations results in:

1. The size of kmem_cache for SMP configuration shrinks since we will only
   need 1 pointer instead of NR_CPUS. The same pointer can be used by all
   processors. Reduces cache footprint of the allocator.

2. We can dynamically size kmem_cache according to the actual nodes in the
   system meaning less memory overhead for configurations that may potentially
   support up to 1k NUMA nodes / 4k cpus.

3. We can remove the diddle widdle with allocating and releasing of
   kmem_cache_cpu structures when bringing up and shutting down cpus. The cpu
   alloc logic will do it all for us. Removes some portions of the cpu hotplug
   functionality.

4. Fastpath performance increases since per cpu pointer lookups and
   address calculations are avoided.

78eb00cc57 slub: allow stats to be cleared
When collecting slub stats for particular workloads, it's necessary to
collect each statistic for all caches before the job is even started
because the counters are usually greater than zero just from boot and
initialization.

This allows a statistic to be cleared on each cpu by writing '0' to its
sysfs file.  This creates a baseline for statistics of interest before
the workload is started.

Setting a statistic to a particular value is not supported, so all values
written to these files other than '0' returns -EINVAL.

8a3d271deb slub: fix slab_pad_check()
When SLAB_POISON is used and slab_pad_check() finds an overwrite of the
slab padding, we call restore_bytes() on the whole slab, not only
on the padding.

d76b1590e0 slub: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU
kmem_cache_destroy() should call rcu_barrier() *after* kmem_cache_close() and
*before* sysfs_slab_remove() or risk rcu_free_slab() being called after
kmem_cache is deleted (kfreed).

rmmod nf_conntrack can crash the machine because it has to kmem_cache_destroy()
a SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU enabled cache.

5788d8ad6c slub: release kobject if sysfs_create_group failed in sysfs_slab_add
When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled, sysfs_slab_add should unlink and put the
kobject if sysfs_create_group failed. Otherwise, sysfs_slab_add returns error
then free kmem_cache s, thus memory of s->kobj is leaked.

acdfcd04d9 SLUB: fix ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN cases 64 and 256
If the minalign is 64 bytes, then the 96 byte cache should not be created
because it would conflict with the 128 byte cache.

If the minalign is 256 bytes, patching the size_index table should not
result in a buffer overrun.

The calculation "(i - 1) / 8" used to access size_index[] is moved to
a separate function as suggested by Christoph Lameter.

Conflicts in core and arch percpu codes are mostly from commit

num_possible_cpus() with nr_cpu_ids.  As for-next branch has moved all
the first chunk allocators into mm/percpu.c, the changes are moved
from arch code to mm/percpu.c.

3de472138a slub: use size and objsize orders to disable debug flags
This patch moves the masking of debugging flags which increase a cache's
min order due to metadata when `slub_debug=O' is used from
kmem_cache_flags() to kmem_cache_open().

Instead of defining the maximum metadata size increase in a preprocessor
macro, this approach uses the cache's ->size and ->objsize members to
determine if the min order increased due to debugging options.  If so,
the flags specified in the more appropriately named DEBUG_METADATA_FLAGS
are masked off.

This approach was suggested by Christoph Lameter
<cl@linux-foundation.org>.

fa5ec8a1f6 slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs
When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.

Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options.  The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.

Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.

This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:

	slub_debug=O

When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.

7ed9f7e5db fix RCU-callback-after-kmem_cache_destroy problem in sl[aou]b
Jesper noted that kmem_cache_destroy() invokes synchronize_rcu() rather than
rcu_barrier() in the SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU case, which could result in RCU
callbacks accessing a kmem_cache after it had been destroyed.
