mm/slab: Fix kmem_cache_alloc_node_trace() declaration

2012-09-29T07:02:27+00:00

This bug was introduced in commit 4052147 ("mm, slab: Match SLAB and
SLUB kmem_cache_alloc_xxx_trace() prototype").

mm, slab: Match SLAB and SLUB kmem_cache_alloc_xxx_trace() prototype

2012-09-25T07:17:24+00:00

This long (seemingly unnecessary) patch does not fix anything and
its only goal is to produce common code between SLAB and SLUB.

mm, slab: Remove silly function slab_buffer_size()

2012-09-25T07:12:19+00:00

This function is seldom used, and can be simply replaced with cachep->size.

mm, slab: remove dflags

2012-08-17T11:32:02+00:00

cachep->dflags is never referenced, so remove it.

slab: rename gfpflags to allocflags

2012-07-02T10:40:06+00:00

A consistent name with slub saves us an acessor function.
In both caches, this field represents the same thing. We would
like to use it from the mem_cgroup code.

mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common fields from struct kmem_cache

2012-06-14T06:20:16+00:00

Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators.
A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is
required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given.

After that it will be possible to share code that
only operates on those fields of kmem_cache.

The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and
uses the field namees for the other allocators.

It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in
allocators:

object_size	Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically
		the payload expected to be used by the subsystem.

size		The size of memory allocator for each object. This size
		is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment
		and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging
		and rcu).

tracing/mm: Move include of trace/events/kmem.h out of header into slab.c

2012-01-09T22:19:33+00:00

Including trace/events/*.h TRACE_EVENT() macro headers in other headers
can cause strange side effects if another trace/event/*.h header
includes that header.  Having trace/events/kmem.h inside slab_def.h
caused a compile error in sparc64 when changes were done to some header
files.  Moving the kmem.h trace header out of slab.h and into slab.c
fixes the problem.

Note, both slub.c and slob.c already include the trace/events/kmem.h
file. Only slab.c had it missing.

slab: shrink sizeof(struct kmem_cache)

2011-07-20T17:27:56+00:00

Reduce high order allocations for some setups.
(NR_CPUS=4096 -> we need 64KB per kmem_cache struct)

We now allocate exact needed size (using nr_cpu_ids and nr_node_ids)

This also makes code a bit smaller on x86_64, since some field offsets
are less than the 127 limit :

Before patch :
# size mm/slab.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  22605  361665      32  384302   5dd2e mm/slab.o

After patch :
# size mm/slab.o
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  22349	 353473	   8224	 384046	  5dc2e	mm/slab.o

slab, slub, slob: Unify alignment definition

2011-06-16T16:40:20+00:00

Every slab has its on alignment definition in include/linux/sl?b_def.h. Extract those
and define a common set in include/linux/slab.h.

SLOB: As notes sometimes we need double word alignment on 32 bit. This gives all
structures allocated by SLOB a unsigned long long alignment like the others do.

SLAB: If ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is not set SLAB would set ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN to
zero meaning no alignment at all. Give it the default unsigned long long alignment.

tracing/slab: Move kmalloc tracepoint out of inline code

2010-11-28T19:16:28+00:00

The tracepoint for kmalloc is in the slab inlined code which causes
every instance of kmalloc to have the tracepoint.

This patch moves the tracepoint out of the inline code to the
slab C file, which removes a large number of inlined trace
points.
