As Steven Rostedt has pointer out: rescheduling could occur on a different processor after the determination of the per cpu pointer and before the tid is retrieved. This could result in allocation from the wrong node in slab_alloc(). The effect is much more severe in slab_free() where we could free to the freelist of the wrong page. The window for something like that occurring is pretty small but it is possible. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

The variables accessed in slab_alloc are volatile and therefore the page pointer passed to node_match can be NULL. The processing of data in slab_alloc is tentative until either the cmpxhchg succeeds or the __slab_alloc slowpath is invoked. Both are able to perform the same allocation from the freelist. Check for the NULL pointer in node_match. A false positive will lead to a retry of the loop in __slab_alloc.

There is a subtle bug when calculating a number of acquired objects. Currently, we calculate "available = page->objects - page->inuse", after acquire_slab() is called in get_partial_node(). In acquire_slab() with mode = 1, we always set new.inuse = page->objects. So, acquire_slab(s, n, page, object == NULL); if (!object) { c->page = page; stat(s, ALLOC_FROM_PARTIAL); object = t; available = page->objects - page->inuse; !!! availabe is always 0 !!! ... Therfore, "available > s->cpu_partial / 2" is always false and we always go to second iteration. This patch correct this problem. After that, we don't need return value of put_cpu_partial(). So remove it.

After we create a boot cache, we may allocate from it until it is bootstraped. This will move the page from the partial list to the cpu slab list. If this happens, the loop: list_for_each_entry(p, &n->partial, lru) that we use to scan for all partial pages will yield nothing, and the pages will keep pointing to the boot cpu cache, which is of course, invalid. To do that, we should flush the cache to make sure that the cpu slab is back to the partial list.

commit "slab: Common Kmalloc cache determination" made mistake in kmalloc_slab(). SLAB_CACHE_DMA is for kmem_cache creation, not for allocation. For allocation, we should use GFP_XXX to identify type of allocation. So, change SLAB_CACHE_DMA to GFP_DMA.

Make slab use the common functions. We can get rid of a lot of old ugly stuff as a results. Among them the sizes array and the weird include/linux/kmalloc_sizes file and some pretty bad #include statements in slab_def.h. The one thing that is different in slab is that the 32 byte cache will also be created for arches that have page sizes larger than 4K. There are numerous smaller allocations that SLOB and SLUB can handle better because of their support for smaller allocation sizes so lets keep the 32 byte slab also for arches with > 4K pages.
