    mm: don't warn about large allocations for slab · 61448479

    Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
    instead it falls back to kmalloc_large().
    
    For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls
    kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for
    over-sized allocations.
    
    This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for
    over-sized allocations for slab.  Returning NULL for failed allocations is
    the expected behavior.
    
    Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size >
    KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab().
    
    While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab().  We should check
    against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE.  It all kinda
    worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks
    the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab().  But if we
    get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will
    happen.  For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code.
    
    Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size >
    192 case.  This partially compensates for the additional check in slab
    code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically).
    
    Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check.  This warning means a bug in
    slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it.
    
    Nothing of this affects slob.
