From 1b4f59e356cc94929305bd107b7f38eec62715ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Glauber Costa Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:05:36 +0400 Subject: slub: Commonize slab_cache field in struct page Right now, slab and slub have fields in struct page to derive which cache a page belongs to, but they do it slightly differently. slab uses a field called slab_cache, that lives in the third double word. slub, uses a field called "slab", living outside of the doublewords area. Ideally, we could use the same field for this. Since slub heavily makes use of the doubleword region, there isn't really much room to move slub's slab_cache field around. Since slab does not have such strict placement restrictions, we can move it outside the doubleword area. The naming used by slab, "slab_cache", is less confusing, and it is preferred over slub's generic "slab".

A problem with the current approach is that the statically sized kmem_cache structure use on boot can only contain NR_CPUS entries. If the number of nodes plus the number of cpus is greater then we would overwrite memory following the kmem_cache_boot definition. Increase the size of the array field to ensure that also the node pointers fit into the array field. Once we do that we no longer need the kmem_cache_nodelists array and we can then also use that structure elsewhere.
