slab: fix object alignment

2010-08-26T23:41:46Z

commit 1ab335d8f85792e3b107ff8237d53cf64db714df upstream. This patch fixes alignment of slab objects in case CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is active. Before this spot in kmem_cache_create, we have this situation: - align contains the required alignment of the object - cachep->obj_offset is 0 or equals align in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB - size equals the size of the object, or object plus trailing redzone in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB This spot tries to fill one page per object if the object is in certain size limits, however setting obj_offset to PAGE_SIZE - size does break the object alignment since size may not be aligned with the required alignment. This patch simply adds an ALIGN(size, align) to the equation and fixes the object size detection accordingly. This code in drivers/s390/cio/qdio_setup_init has lead to incorrectly aligned slab objects (sizeof(struct qdio_q) equals 1792): qdio_q_cache = kmem_cache_create("qdio_q", sizeof(struct qdio_q), 256, 0, NULL); Acked-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

slab: initialize unused alien cache entry as NULL at alloc_alien_cache().

2010-03-15T15:49:36Z

commit f3186a9c51eabe75b2780153ed7f07778d78b16e upstream. Comparing with existing code, it's a simpler way to use kzalloc_node() to ensure that each unused alien cache entry is NULL.

mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pages

2009-09-22T14:17:38Z

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

fix RCU-callback-after-kmem_cache_destroy problem in sl[aou]b

2009-06-26T09:10:47Z

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.

mm: Extend gfp masking to the page allocator

2009-06-18T20:12:57Z

The page allocator also needs the masking of gfp flags during boot, so this moves it out of slab/slub and uses it with the page allocator as well. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Acked-by: Pekka Enberg Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

page allocator: slab: use nr_online_nodes to check for a NUMA platform

2009-06-17T02:47:35Z

SLAB currently avoids checking a bitmap repeatedly by checking once and storing a flag. When the addition of nr_online_nodes as a cheaper version of num_online_nodes(), this check can be replaced by nr_online_nodes.

page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid

2009-06-17T02:47:32Z

Callers of alloc_pages_node() can optionally specify -1 as a node to mean "allocate from the current node". However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.
