slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache

2018-06-28T18:16:44Z

In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on implicit merging. This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/. The slub subsystem offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate filename in sysfs. This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache. kobject_del must be called while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a cache with the same attributes could be created.

slub: remove kmem_cache->reserved

2018-06-08T00:34:37Z

The reserved field was only used for embedding an rcu_head in the data structure. With the previous commit, we no longer need it. That lets us remove the 'reserved' argument to a lot of functions.

slub: make struct kmem_cache_order_objects::x unsigned int

2018-04-06T04:36:24Z

struct kmem_cache_order_objects is for mixing order and number of objects, and orders aren't big enough to warrant 64-bit width. Propagate unsignedness down so that everything fits. !!! Patch assumes that "PAGE_SIZE << order" doesn't overflow. !!!
