Merge tag 'slab-for-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka: - SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou) Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by reusing the PG_workingset flag. This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7 ("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab() fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that amplifies the lock contention and can fail. As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec - SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka) The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS, which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now. This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up gradually (some series are already in the works). Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB implementation. * tag 'slab-for-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab: (34 commits) mm/slub: free KFENCE objects in slab_free_hook() mm/slub: handle bulk and single object freeing separately mm/slub: introduce __kmem_cache_free_bulk() without free hooks mm/slub: fix bulk alloc and free stats mm/slub: optimize free fast path code layout mm/slub: optimize alloc fastpath code layout mm/slub: remove slab_alloc() and __kmem_cache_alloc_lru() wrappers mm/slab: move kmalloc() functions from slab_common.c to slub.c mm/slab: move kmalloc_slab() to mm/slab.h mm/slab: move kfree() from slab_common.c to slub.c mm/slab: move struct kmem_cache_node from slab.h to slub.c mm/slab: move memcg related functions from slab.h to slub.c mm/slab: move pre/post-alloc hooks from slab.h to slub.c mm/slab: consolidate includes in the internal mm/slab.h mm/slab: move the rest of slub_def.h to mm/slab.h mm/slab: move struct kmem_cache_cpu declaration to slub.c mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h mm/mempool/dmapool: remove CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB ifdefs mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB code from slab common code cpu/hotplug: remove CPUHP_SLAB_PREPARE hooks ...
