<content type='text'>
Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).

<title>[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb-&gt;tail to sk_buff_data_t</title>

So that it is also an offset from skb-&gt;head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb-&gt;{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

<title>[NETLINK]: Don't BUG on undersized allocations</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently netlink users BUG when the allocated skb for an event
notification is undersized. While this is certainly a kernel bug,
its not critical and crashing the kernel is too drastic, especially
when considering that these errors have appeared multiple times in
the past and it BUGs even if no listeners are present.

This patch replaces BUG by WARN_ON and changes the notification
functions to inform potential listeners of undersized allocations
using a unique error code (EMSGSIZE).

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

The patch was generated using the following script:

	#!/bin/sh
	#
	# Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
	#

	set -e

	for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
		quilt add $file
		sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file &gt;/tmp/$$
		mv /tmp/$$ $file
		quilt refresh
	done

The script was run like this

	sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"
