Alexander Potapenko 4ebb31a42f mm, kasan: don't call kasan_krealloc() from ksize(). 
Instead of calling kasan_krealloc(), which replaces the memory
allocation stack ID (if stack depot is used), just unpoison the whole
memory chunk.

Alexander Potapenko 55834c5909 mm: kasan: initial memory quarantine implementation 
Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

When the object is freed, its state changes from KASAN_STATE_ALLOC to
KASAN_STATE_QUARANTINE.  The object is poisoned and put into quarantine
instead of being returned to the allocator, therefore every subsequent
access to that object triggers a KASAN error, and the error handler is
able to say where the object has been allocated and deallocated.

When it's time for the object to leave quarantine, its state becomes
KASAN_STATE_FREE and it's returned to the allocator.  From now on the
allocator may reuse it for another allocation.  Before that happens,
it's still possible to detect a use-after free on that object (it
retains the allocation/deallocation stacks).

When the allocator reuses this object, the shadow is unpoisoned and old
allocation/deallocation stacks are wiped.  Therefore a use of this
object, even an incorrect one, won't trigger ASan warning.

Without the quarantine, it's not guaranteed that the objects aren't
reused immediately, that's why the probability of catching a
use-after-free is lower than with quarantine in place.

Quarantine isolates freed objects in a separate queue.  The objects are
returned to the allocator later, which helps to detect use-after-free
errors.

Freed objects are first added to per-cpu quarantine queues.  When a
cache is destroyed or memory shrinking is requested, the objects are
moved into the global quarantine queue.  Whenever a kmalloc call allows
memory reclaiming, the oldest objects are popped out of the global queue
until the total size of objects in quarantine is less than 3/4 of the
maximum quarantine size (which is a fraction of installed physical
memory).

As long as an object remains in the quarantine, KASAN is able to report
accesses to it, so the chance of reporting a use-after-free is
increased.  Once the object leaves quarantine, the allocator may reuse
it, in which case the object is unpoisoned and KASAN can't detect
incorrect accesses to it.

Right now quarantine support is only enabled in SLAB allocator.
Unification of KASAN features in SLAB and SLUB will be done later.

This patch is based on the "mm: kasan: quarantine" patch originally
prepared by Dmitry Chernenkov.  A number of improvements have been
suggested by Andrey Ryabinin.

Lots of code does

	node = next_node(node, XXX);
	if (node == MAX_NUMNODES)
		node = first_node(XXX);

so create next_node_in() to do this and use it in various places.

Yang Shi a3187e438b mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG 
Now we have IS_ENABLED helper to check if a Kconfig option is enabled or
not, so ZONE_DMA_FLAG sounds no longer useful.

And, the use of ZONE_DMA_FLAG in slab looks pointless according to the
comment [1] from Johannes Weiner, so remove them and ORing passed in
flags with the cache gfp flags has been done in kmem_getpages().

Thomas Garnier c7ce4f60ac mm: SLAB freelist randomization 
Provides an optional config (CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM) to randomize
the SLAB freelist.  The list is randomized during initialization of a
new set of pages.  The order on different freelist sizes is pre-computed
at boot for performance.  Each kmem_cache has its own randomized
freelist.  Before pre-computed lists are available freelists are
generated dynamically.  This security feature reduces the predictability
of the kernel SLAB allocator against heap overflows rendering attacks
much less stable.

For example this attack against SLUB (also applicable against SLAB)
would be affected:

  https://jon.oberheide.org/blog/2010/09/10/linux-kernel-can-slub-overflow/

Also, since v4.6 the freelist was moved at the end of the SLAB.  It
means a controllable heap is opened to new attacks not yet publicly
discussed.  A kernel heap overflow can be transformed to multiple
use-after-free.  This feature makes this type of attack harder too.

To generate entropy, we use get_random_bytes_arch because 0 bits of
entropy is available in the boot stage.  In the worse case this function
will fallback to the get_random_bytes sub API.  We also generate a shift
random number to shift pre-computed freelist for each new set of pages.

The config option name is not specific to the SLAB as this approach will
be extended to other allocators like SLUB.

Performance results highlighted no major changes:

Hackbench (running 90 10 times):

  Before average: 0.0698
  After average: 0.0663 (-5.01%)

slab_test 1 run on boot.  Difference only seen on the 2048 size test
being the worse case scenario covered by freelist randomization.  New
slab pages are constantly being created on the 10000 allocations.
Variance should be mainly due to getting new pages every few
allocations.

Joonsoo Kim 801faf0db8 mm/slab: lockless decision to grow cache 
To check whether free objects exist or not precisely, we need to grab a
lock.  But, accuracy isn't that important because race window would be
even small and if there is too much free object, cache reaper would reap
it.  So, this patch makes the check for free object exisistence not to
hold a lock.  This will reduce lock contention in heavily allocation
case.

Note that until now, n->shared can be freed during the processing by
writing slabinfo, but, with some trick in this patch, we can access it
freely within interrupt disabled period.

Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago.  I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is
better.

  * Before
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=248/966
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=261/949
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=314/1016
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=741/1061
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=1246/1152
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=2437/1259
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=4980/1800
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=9000/2078

  * After
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172

It shows that allocation performance decreases for the object size up to
128 and it may be due to extra checks in cache_alloc_refill().  But,
with considering improvement of free performance, net result looks the
same.  Result for other size class looks very promising, roughly, 50%
performance improvement.

Joonsoo Kim 213b46958c mm/slab: refill cpu cache through a new slab without holding a node lock 
Until now, cache growing makes a free slab on node's slab list and then
we can allocate free objects from it.  This necessarily requires to hold
a node lock which is very contended.  If we refill cpu cache before
attaching it to node's slab list, we can avoid holding a node lock as
much as possible because this newly allocated slab is only visible to
the current task.  This will reduce lock contention.

Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago.  I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is

Joonsoo Kim 76b342bdc7 mm/slab: separate cache_grow() to two parts 
This is a preparation step to implement lockless allocation path when
there is no free objects in kmem_cache.

What we'd like to do here is to refill cpu cache without holding a node
lock.  To accomplish this purpose, refill should be done after new slab
allocation but before attaching the slab to the management list.  So,
this patch separates cache_grow() to two parts, allocation and attaching
to the list in order to add some code inbetween them in the following
patch.

Joonsoo Kim 6052b7880a mm/slab: don't keep free slabs if free_objects exceeds free_limit 
Currently, determination to free a slab is done whenever each freed
object is put into the slab.  This has a following problem.

Assume free_limit = 10 and nr_free = 9.

Free happens as following sequence and nr_free changes as following.

free(become a free slab) free(not become a free slab) nr_free: 9 -> 10
(at first free) -> 11 (at second free)

If we try to check if we can free current slab or not on each object
free, we can't free any slab in this situation because current slab
isn't a free slab when nr_free exceed free_limit (at second free) even
if there is a free slab.

However, if we check it lastly, we can free 1 free slab.

This problem would cause to keep too much memory in the slab subsystem.
This patch try to fix it by checking number of free object after all
free work is done.  If there is free slab at that time, we can free slab
as much as possible so we keep free slab as minimal.

Joonsoo Kim 8888177ea1 mm/slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC again 
Initial attemp to remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC is once reverted by 'commit
edcad25095 ("Revert "slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC"")' because it
causes a problem on m68k which has many node but !CONFIG_NUMA.  In this
case, although alien cache isn't used at all but to cope with some
initialization path, garbage value is used and that is BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC.
Now, this patch set use_alien_caches to 0 when !CONFIG_NUMA, there is no
initialization path problem so we don't need BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC at all.  So
remove it.

Joonsoo Kim 18726ca8b3 mm/slab: fix the theoretical race by holding proper lock 
While processing concurrent allocation, SLAB could be contended a lot
because it did a lots of work with holding a lock.  This patchset try to
reduce the number of critical section to reduce lock contention.  Major
changes are lockless decision to allocate more slab and lockless cpu
cache refill from the newly allocated slab.

Below is the result of concurrent allocation/free in slab allocation
benchmark made by Christoph a long time ago.  I make the output simpler.
The number shows cycle count during alloc/free respectively so less is
better.

  * Before
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=365/806
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=452/690
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=736/886
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=1167/985
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=2088/1125
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=4115/1184
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=8451/1748
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=16024/2048

  * After
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(32): Average=344/792
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(64): Average=347/882
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(128): Average=390/959
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(256): Average=393/1067
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(512): Average=683/1229
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(1024): Average=1295/1325
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(2048): Average=2513/1664
  Kmalloc N*alloc N*free(4096): Average=4742/2172

It shows that performance improves greatly (roughly more than 50%) for
the object class whose size is more than 128 bytes.

This patch (of 11):

If we don't hold neither the slab_mutex nor the node lock, node's shared
array cache could be freed and re-populated.  If __kmem_cache_shrink()
is called at the same time, it will call drain_array() with n->shared
without holding node lock so problem can happen.  This patch fix the
situation by holding the node lock before trying to drain the shared
array.

In addition, add a debug check to confirm that n->shared access race
doesn't exist.

Mel Gorman 444eb2a449 mm: thp: set THP defrag by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option 
THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake
kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure.  The problem is that
THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction.  This
potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by
reduced TLB misses.  While there has been considerable effort to reduce
the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads
that should fit in memory fail to do so.  Specifically, a simple
anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least
even though the working set size is 80% of RAM.  It's been years and
it's time to throw in the towel.

First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows;

 madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it
 never:   Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd
 defer:   A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd
 always:  A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour)
          khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd.

Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter
direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested
it.

Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is
related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work.  The callers that
really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly.  The slab
one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was
never woken up by that path.

This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications
by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are
immediately available.  There are still options for users that prefer a
stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical
behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where
kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if
necessary.  THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter
direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd.

After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely
on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future.  In
some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to
measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction
is definitely measurable and can be painful.

The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write
a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times.  The
total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply
measures how long it takes to complete.  It uses multiple threads to see
if that is a factor.  On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is
not reported but on NUMA, we see this

For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this
patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.  Similar,
notice the large reduction in most cases in system CPU usage.  The
overall CPU time is

This patch eliminates almost all swapping and direct reclaim activity.
There is still overhead but it's from NUMA balancing which does not
identify that it's pointless trying to do anything with this workload.

I also tried the thpscale benchmark which forces a corner case where
compaction can be used heavily and measures the latency of whether base
or huge pages were used

Note again that while this does swap as it's an aggressive workload, the
direct relcim activity and allocation stalls is substantially reduced.
There is some kswapd activity but ftrace showed that the kswapd activity
was due to normal wakeups from 4K pages being allocated.
Compaction-related stalls and activity are almost eliminated.

I also tried the stutter benchmark.  For this, I do not have figures for
NUMA but it's something that does impact UMA so I'll report what is
available

Joonsoo Kim f68f8dddb5 mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support 
Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems.

1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more
   pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no
   pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache.  So, pfmemalloc_active
   could be wrongly cleared.

2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc
   object are not found in cpu cache.  Instead, allocating new slab
   happens and it is not optimal.

3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep
   pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC.  It isn't cleared
   if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem.

4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow
   down non-pfmemalloc allocation.

To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this
patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one.

Design principle for new implementation is that

1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if
   sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled.  It's more likely case than pfmemalloc
   allocation.

2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation.

3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory
   deficiency state.

As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be
handled in slow-path.  If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be
returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance
of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects
will be kept as long as possible.

Joonsoo Kim b03a017beb mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB 
SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab.  It is only used
if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this
array.  This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path
to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need.
Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some
computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is
created.

Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in
order to handle debugging feature efficiently.  If you want to see core
idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch.

Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than
management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a
constructor.  If such cache's object is used for management array,
constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to
user.  I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea
doesn't applied to them at least now.

For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by
following logic.

1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it
   becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB.

2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes
   NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array.

3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB.
   It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste
   happens.

4) others become NORMAL_SLAB.  It uses dedicated internal memory in a
   slab as a management array so it causes memory waste.

In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become
OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste
memory.  Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab
management type.

TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF

/Before/
126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41

/After/
126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2

Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase
from 60 to 109.

I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss.

[    6.350105] 100000 times kmalloc(4096) -> 789 cycles kfree -> 391 cycles

In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with
extendable linked array through another freed object.  It can remove
memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in
critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit.  So, this
patch doesn't include it.

Joonsoo Kim 3217fd9bdf mm/slab: make criteria for off slab determination robust and simple 
To become an off slab, there are some constraints to avoid bootstrapping
problem and recursive call.  This can be avoided differently by simply
checking that corresponding kmalloc cache is ready and it's not a off
slab.  It would be more robust because static size checking can be
affected by cache size change or architecture type but dynamic checking
isn't.

One check 'freelist_cache->size > cachep->size / 2' is added to check
benefit of choosing off slab, because, now, there is no size constraint
which ensures enough advantage when selecting off slab.

Joonsoo Kim f3a3c320d5 mm/slab: do not change cache size if debug pagealloc isn't possible 
We can fail to setup off slab in some conditions.  Even in this case,
debug pagealloc increases cache size to PAGE_SIZE in advance and it is
waste because debug pagealloc cannot work for it when it isn't the off
slab.  To improve this situation, this patch checks first that this
cache with increased size is suitable for off slab.  It actually
increases cache size when it is suitable for off-slab, so possible waste
is removed.

proper position.  From that point, size is aligned so we can remove some

Joonsoo Kim 2e6b360216 mm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page 
Currently, the freelist is at the front of slab page.  This requires
extra space to meet object alignment requirement.  If we put the
freelist at the end of a slab page, objects could start at page boundary
and will be at correct alignment.  This is possible because freelist has
no alignment constraint itself.

This gives us two benefits: It removes extra memory space for the
freelist alignment and remove complex calculation at cache
initialization step.  I can't think notable drawback here.

I mentioned that this would reduce extra memory space, but, this benefit
is rather theoretical because it can be applied to very few cases.
Following is the example cache type that can get benefit from this
change.

  size align num before after
    32    8  124  4100  4092
    64    8   63  4103  4095
    88    8   46  4102  4094
   272    8   15  4103  4095
   408    8   10  4098  4090
    32   16  124  4108  4092
    64   16   63  4111  4095
    32   32  124  4124  4092
    64   32   63  4127  4095
    96   32   42  4106  4074

before means whole size for objects and aligned freelist before applying
patch and after shows the result of this patch.

Since before is more than 4096, number of object should decrease and
memory waste happens.

Anyway, this patch removes complex calculation so looks beneficial to
me.

Joonsoo Kim d31676dfde mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK 
DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option.  It's current implementation requires
status buffer so we need more memory to use it.  And, it cause
kmem_cache initialization step more complex.

To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step,
this patch implement this feature with another way.

When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that
getting information is started.  And then, all free objects in caches
are flushed to corresponding slab page.  Now, we can distinguish all
freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too.  After
collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is
checked that there is no free during the processing.  If true, we can be
sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user.

Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits
mentioned above.  So, I think it is worth changing.

There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner
information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all.

To help review, this patch implements new way only.  Following patch
will remove useless code.

Joonsoo Kim 260b61dd46 mm/slab: remove the checks for slab implementation bug 
Some of "#if DEBUG" are for reporting slab implementation bug rather
than user usecase bug.  It's not really needed because slab is stable
for a quite long time and it makes code too dirty.  This patch remove
it.

Joonsoo Kim 12c61fe9b7 mm/slab: fix stale code comment 
This patchset implements a new freed object management way, that is,
OBJFREELIST_SLAB.  Purpose of it is to reduce memory overhead in SLAB.

SLAB needs a array to manage freed objects in a slab.  If there is
leftover after objects are packed into a slab, we can use it as a
management array, and, in this case, there is no memory waste.  But, in
the other cases, we need to allocate extra memory for a management array
or utilize dedicated internal memory in a slab for it.  Both cases
causes memory waste so it's not good.

With this patchset, freed object itself can be used for a management
array.  So, memory waste could be reduced.  Detailed idea and numbers
are described in last patch's commit description.  Please refer it.

In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with
extendable linked array through another freed object.  It can remove
memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in
critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit.  So,
this patchset doesn't include it.  I will attach prototype just for a
reference.

This patch (of 16):

We use freelist_idx_t type for free object management whose size would be
smaller than size of unsigned int.  Fix it.

Jesper Dangaard Brouer ca25719551 mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators 
This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory
objects not bound to a single kmem_cache.

Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of
objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is
available from the object's page->slab_cache.  Proposing to remove the
kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API.

Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a
performance cost.  It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled
in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow.  The extra
cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does
the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow.

Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a
kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly
easily.  Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a
kmem_cache NULL pointer.

This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.

Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K
@ 4.00GHz, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y.

Further optimization are still possible by changing the call to

This optimization is left for later, given end results already show in

Jesper Dangaard Brouer d5e3ed66d6 slab: use slab_post_alloc_hook in SLAB allocator shared with SLUB 
Reviewers notice that the order in slab_post_alloc_hook() of
kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and kmemleak_alloc_recursive() gets swapped
compared to slab.c / SLAB allocator.

Also notice memset now occurs before calling kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and
kmemleak_alloc_recursive().

I assume this reordering of kmemcheck, kmemleak and memset is okay
because this is the order they are used by the SLUB allocator.

This patch completes the sharing of alloc_hook's between SLUB and SLAB.

Remove the SLAB specific function slab_should_failslab(), by moving the
check against fault-injection for the bootstrap slab, into the shared
function should_failslab() (used by both SLAB and SLUB).

This is a step towards sharing alloc_hook's between SLUB and SLAB.

This bootstrap slab "kmem_cache" is used for allocating struct
kmem_cache objects to the allocator itself.

Separated __kmem_cache_release from __kmem_cache_shutdown which now
called on slab_kmem_cache_release (after the last reference to sysfs
file object has dropped).

Reintroduced locking in free_partial as sysfs file might access cache's
partial list after shutdowning - partial revert of the commit
69cb8e6b7c ("slub: free slabs without holding locks").  Zap
__remove_partial and use remove_partial (w/o underscores) as
free_partial now takes list_lock which s partial revert for commit
1e4dd9461f ("slub: do not assert not having lock in removing freed
partial")
