* mm: rename page struct field helpersMel Gorman2013-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

* mm/slob: use min_t() to compare ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGNArnd Bergmann2012-10-311-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The definition of ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN is architecture dependent and can be either of type size_t or int. Comparing that value with ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN can cause harmless warnings on platforms where they are different. Since both are always small positive integer numbers, using the size_t type to compare them is safe and gets rid of the warning. Without this patch, building ARM collie_defconfig results in: mm/slob.c: In function '__kmalloc_node': mm/slob.c:431:152: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] mm/slob.c: In function 'kfree': mm/slob.c:484:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] mm/slob.c: In function 'ksize': mm/slob.c:503:153: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> [ penberg@kernel.org: updates for master ] Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>
* mm/slob: Use free_page instead of put_page for page-size kmalloc allocationsEzequiel Garcia2012-10-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When freeing objects, the slob allocator currently free empty pages calling __free_pages(). However, page-size kmallocs are disposed using put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call put_page() for kernel pages that are provided by the object allocator, so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. This is based on: commit d9b7f22623b5fa9cc189581dcdfb2ac605933bf4 Author: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> slub: use free_page instead of put_page for freeing kmalloc allocation Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This field was being used to store size allocation so it could be retrieved by ksize(). However, it is a bad practice to not mark a page as a slab page and then use fields for special purposes. There is no need to store the allocated size and ksize() can simply return PAGE_SIZE << compound_order(page).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define a struct that describes common fields used in all slab allocators. A slab allocator either uses the common definition (like SLOB) or is required to provide members of kmem_cache with the definition given. After that it will be possible to share code that only operates on those fields of kmem_cache. The patch basically takes the slob definition of kmem cache and uses the field namees for the other allocators. It also standardizes the names used for basic object lengths in allocators: object_size Struct size specified at kmem_cache_create. Basically the payload expected to be used by the subsystem. size The size of memory allocator for each object. This size is larger than object_size and includes padding, alignment and extra metadata for each object (f.e. for debugging and rcu).

However, a number of the callers in fast paths know for a fact their node is valid. To avoid a comparison and branch, this patch adds alloc_pages_exact_node() that only checks the nid with VM_BUG_ON(). Callers that know their node is valid are then converted.
