Since we now have more orders available use a denser packing. Increase slab order if more than 1/16th of a slab would be wasted. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

The mininum objects per slab is calculated based on the number of processors that may come online. Processors min_objects --------------------------- 1 8 2 12 4 16 8 20 16 24 32 28 64 32 1024 48 4096 56 The higher the number of processors the large the order sizes used for various slab caches will become. This has been shown to address the performance issues in hackbench on 16p etc. The calculation is only performed if slub_min_objects is zero (default). If one specifies a slub_min_objects on boot then that setting is taken. As suggested by Zhang Yanmin's performance tests on 16-core Tigerton, use the formula '4 * (fls(nr_cpu_ids) + 1)': ./hackbench 100 process 2000: 1) 2.6.25-rc6slab: 23.5 seconds 2) 2.6.25-rc7SLUB+slub_min_objects=20: 31 seconds 3) 2.6.25-rc7SLUB+slub_min_objects=24: 23.5 seconds Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

We can now fallback to order 0 slabs. So set the slub_max_order to PAGE_CACHE_ORDER_COSTLY but keep the slub_min_objects at 4. This will mostly preserve the orders used in 2.6.25. F.e. The 2k kmalloc slab will use order 1 allocs and the 4k kmalloc slab order 2. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

Since we now have total_objects counter per node use that to check for the presence of any objects. The loop over all cpu slabs is not that useful since any cpu slab would require an object allocation first. So drop that.

Makes /sys/kernel/slab/<slabname>/order writable. The allocation order of a slab cache can then be changed dynamically during runtime. This can be used to override the objects per slabs value establisheed with the slub_min_objects setting that was manually specified or calculated on bootup. The changes of the slab order can occur while allocate_slab() runs. Allocate slab needs the order and the number of slab objects that are both changed by the change of order. Both are put into a single word (struct kmem_cache_order_objects). They can then be atomically updated and retrieved.

There is now a generic method of falling back to a slab page of minimal order. No need anymore for the fallback to kmalloc_large(). Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

If any higher order allocation fails then fall back the smallest order necessary to contain at least one object. This enables fallback for all allocations to order 0 pages. The fallback will waste more memory (objects will not fit neatly) and the fallback slabs will be not as efficient as larger slabs since they contain less objects. Note that SLAB also depends on order 1 allocations for some slabs that waste too much memory if forced into PAGE_SIZE'd page. SLUB now can now deal with failing order 1 allocs which SLAB cannot do. Add a new field min that will contain the objects for the smallest possible order for a slab cache.

Change the statistics to consider that slabs of the same slabcache can have different number of objects in them since they may be of different order. Provide a new sysfs field total_objects which shows the total objects that the allocated slabs of a slabcache could hold. Add a max field that holds the largest slab order that was ever used for a slab cache. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>

Pack the order and the number of objects into a single word. This saves some memory in the kmem_cache_structure and more importantly allows us to fetch both values atomically. Later the slab orders become runtime configurable and we need to fetch these two items together in order to properly allocate a slab and initialize its objects. Fix the race by fetching the order and the number of objects in one word.

Split the inuse field up to be able to store the number of objects in this page in the page struct as well. Necessary if we want to have pages of various orders for a slab. Also avoids touching struct kmem_cache cachelines in __slab_alloc(). Update diagnostic code to check the number of objects and make sure that the number of objects always stays within the bounds of a 16 bit unsigned integer.

free_list looked a bit screwy so here is an attempt to clean it up. free_list is is only used for freeing partial lists. We do not need to return a parameter if we decrement nr_partial within the function which allows a simplification of the whole thing. The current version modifies nr_partial outside of the list_lock which is technically not correct. It was only ok because we should be the only user of this slab cache at this point.

As pointed out by Ingo, the SLUB warning of calling kmem_cache_destroy() with cache that still has objects triggers in practice. So turn this WARN_ON() into a nice SLUB specific error message to avoid people confusing it to a SLUB bug.

RFC 2203 requires the server to drop the request if it believes the RPCSEC_GSS context is out of sequence. The problem is that we have no way on the client to know why the server dropped the request. In order to avoid spinning forever trying to resend the request, the safe approach is therefore to always invalidate the RPCSEC_GSS context on every major timeout.

Frank Bennett reported that ivtv was causing skype to crash. With help from one of their developers he showed it was a kernel problem. VIDIOCGCAP copies a name into a fixed length buffer - ivtv uses names that are too long and does not truncate them so corrupts a few bytes of the app data area. Possibly the names also want trimming but for now this should fix the corruption case.
