Manually fix up conflicts due to kmemcheck in mm/slab.c
num_online_nodes() is called in a number of places but most often by the
page allocator when deciding whether the zonelist needs to be filtered
based on cpusets or the zonelist cache. This is actually a heavy function
and touches a number of cache lines.
This patch stores the number of online nodes at boot time and updates the
value when nodes get onlined and offlined. The value is then used in a
number of important paths in place of num_online_nodes().

As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
even then you'll be missing some.
For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
using that to do the test.
Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get
rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to
kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some
changes to allocator boostrap code.
Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps
before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar:
We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code:

Now that a cache's min_partial has been moved to struct kmem_cache, it's
possible to easily tune it from userspace by adding a sysfs attribute.
It may not be desirable to keep a large number of partial slabs around
if a cache is used infrequently and memory, especially when constrained
by a cgroup, is scarce. It's better to allow userspace to set the
minimum policy per cache instead of relying explicitly on
kmem_cache_shrink().
The memory savings from simply moving min_partial from struct
kmem_cache_node to struct kmem_cache is obviously not significant
(unless maybe you're from SGI or something), at the largest it's
# allocated caches * (MAX_NUMNODES - 1) * sizeof(unsigned long)
The true savings occurs when userspace reduces the number of partial
slabs that would otherwise be wasted, especially on machines with a
large number of nodes (ia64 with CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT at 10 for default?).
As well as the kernel estimates ideal values for n->min_partial and
ensures it's within a sane range, userspace has no other input other
than writing to /sys/kernel/slab/cache/shrink.
There simply isn't any better heuristic to add when calculating the
partial values for a better estimate that works for all possible caches.
And since it's currently a static value, the user really has no way of
reclaiming that wasted space, which can be significant when constrained
by a cgroup (either cpusets or, later, memory controller slab limits)
without shrinking it entirely.
This also allows the user to specify that increased fragmentation and
more partial slabs are actually desired to avoid the cost of allocating
new slabs at runtime for specific caches.
There's also no reason why this should be a per-struct kmem_cache_node
value in the first place. You could argue that a machine would have
such node size asymmetries that it should be specified on a per-node
basis, but we know nobody is doing that right now since it's a purely
static value at the moment and there's no convenient way to tune that
via slub's sysfs interface.

The default order of kmalloc-8192 on 2*4 stoakley is an issue of
calculate_order.
slab_size order name
-------------------------------------------------
4096 3 sgpool-128
8192 2 kmalloc-8192
16384 3 kmalloc-16384
kmalloc-8192's default order is smaller than sgpool-128's.
On 4*4 tigerton machine, a similiar issue appears on another kmem_cache.
Function calculate_order uses 'min_objects /= 2;' to shrink. Plus size
calculation/checking in slab_order, sometimes above issue appear.
Below patch against 2.6.29-rc2 fixes it.
I checked the default orders of all kmem_cache and they don't become

Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
to merge worthy ;)
--
After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
(and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
interrupt contexts).
I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.

That was to stay backward compatible with the format output produced in
inux/tracepoint.h.
This is the default ouput, but note that I tried something else.
If you change an option:
echo kmem_minimalistic > /debugfs/trace_options
and then cat /debugfs/trace, you will have the following output:
# tracer: kmemtrace

Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative.
Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course.
We can drop it if you want.
On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free.
On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page
I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not
break the column with strings....
About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't
be difficult to find.
I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would
be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common
directory.

Impact: avoid conflicts with kmemcheck
kmemcheck modifies the same area of slab.c and slub.c - move the
include lines up a bit.
