Now that a cache's min_partial has been moved to struct kmem_cache, it's
possible to easily tune it from userspace by adding a sysfs attribute.
It may not be desirable to keep a large number of partial slabs around
if a cache is used infrequently and memory, especially when constrained
by a cgroup, is scarce. It's better to allow userspace to set the
minimum policy per cache instead of relying explicitly on
kmem_cache_shrink().
The memory savings from simply moving min_partial from struct
kmem_cache_node to struct kmem_cache is obviously not significant
(unless maybe you're from SGI or something), at the largest it's
# allocated caches * (MAX_NUMNODES - 1) * sizeof(unsigned long)
The true savings occurs when userspace reduces the number of partial
slabs that would otherwise be wasted, especially on machines with a
large number of nodes (ia64 with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT at 10 for default?).
As well as the kernel estimates ideal values for n->min_partial and
ensures it's within a sane range, userspace has no other input other
than writing to /sys/kernel/slab/cache/shrink.
There simply isn't any better heuristic to add when calculating the
partial values for a better estimate that works for all possible caches.
And since it's currently a static value, the user really has no way of
reclaiming that wasted space, which can be significant when constrained
by a cgroup (either cpusets or, later, memory controller slab limits)
without shrinking it entirely.
This also allows the user to specify that increased fragmentation and
more partial slabs are actually desired to avoid the cost of allocating
new slabs at runtime for specific caches.
There's also no reason why this should be a per-struct kmem_cache_node
value in the first place. You could argue that a machine would have
such node size asymmetries that it should be specified on a per-node
basis, but we know nobody is doing that right now since it's a purely
static value at the moment and there's no convenient way to tune that
via slub's sysfs interface.

The default order of kmalloc-8192 on 2*4 stoakley is an issue of
calculate_order.
slab_size order name
-------------------------------------------------
4096 3 sgpool-128
8192 2 kmalloc-8192
16384 3 kmalloc-16384
kmalloc-8192's default order is smaller than sgpool-128's.
On 4*4 tigerton machine, a similiar issue appears on another kmem_cache.
Function calculate_order uses 'min_objects /= 2;' to shrink. Plus size
calculation/checking in slab_order, sometimes above issue appear.
Below patch against 2.6.29-rc2 fixes it.
I checked the default orders of all kmem_cache and they don't become
smaller than before. So the patch wouldn't hurt performance.

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

If a slab cache is mergeable and the sysfs alias cannot be added, the
target cache shall have its refcount decremented. kmem_cache_create()
will return NULL, so if kmem_cache_destroy() is ever called on the target
cache, it will never be freed if the refcount has been leaked.
Likewise, if a slab cache is not mergeable and the sysfs link cannot be
added, the new cache shall be removed from the slab_caches list.
kmem_cache_create() will return NULL, so it will be impossible to call
kmem_cache_destroy() on it.
Both of these operations require slub_lock since refcount of all slab
caches and slab_caches are protected by the lock.
In the mergeable case, it would be better to restore objsize and offset
back to their original values, but this could race with another merge
since slub_lock was dropped.

it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.

Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.
While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)
Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.
But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup. (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)
And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble. (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.
One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule. So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called. (low priority than slub now.)
I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.
Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
- free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial
value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more
pages we keep on the partial list.
I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example
script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking
subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al.
To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository:
git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git
and then run the following command n times on your machine:
time ./fio examples/netio
The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows:
[ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ]
real time (seconds)
min max avg sd
SLAB 22.76 23.38 22.98 0.17
SLUB 22.80 25.78 23.46 0.72
SLUB (dynamic) 22.74 23.54 23.00 0.20

SLUB 30.85 37.99 37.06 1.67
SLUB (dynamic) 36.75 38.07 37.59 0.32
As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level
as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this
change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close
to the size of a page.

(0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)
%ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:
memset(object, 0, c->objsize);
i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...
c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());
This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
has been freed?"
Good analysis.
Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset(). The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).
At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

The 192 byte cache is not necessary if we have a basic alignment of 128
byte. If it would be used then the 192 would be aligned to the next 128 byte
boundary which would result in another 256 byte cache. Two 256 kmalloc caches
cause sysfs to complain about a duplicate entry.
MIPS needs 128 byte aligned kmalloc caches and spits out warnings on boot without
this patch.

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.

any_slab_objects() does an atomic_read on an atomic_long_t, this
fixes it to use atomic_long_read instead.

If we make SLUB_DEBUG depend on SYSFS then we can simplify some
#ifdefs and avoid others.

x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.
The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed. The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.
There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.
