Christoph Lameter 8a13a4cc80 mm/sl[aou]b: Shrink __kmem_cache_create() parameter lists
Do the initial settings of the fields in common code. This will allow us
to push more processing into common code later and improve readability.

Christoph Lameter 278b1bb131 mm/sl[aou]b: Move kmem_cache allocations into common code
Shift the allocations to common code. That way the allocation and
freeing of the kmem_cache structures is handled by common code.

Christoph Lameter cbb79694d5 mm/sl[aou]b: Do slab aliasing call from common code
The slab aliasing logic causes some strange contortions in slub. So add
a call to deal with aliases to slab_common.c but disable it for other
slab allocators by providng stubs that fail to create aliases.

Full general support for aliases will require additional cleanup passes
and more standardization of fields in kmem_cache.

Christoph Lameter db265eca77 mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to slab_common.c
Duping of the slabname has to be done by each slab. Moving this code to
slab_common avoids duplicate implementations.

With this patch we have common string handling for all slab allocators.
Strings passed to kmem_cache_create() are copied internally. Subsystems
can create temporary strings to create slab caches.

Slabs allocated in early states of bootstrap will never be freed (and
those can never be freed since they are essential to slab allocator
operations).  During bootstrap we therefore do not have to worry about
duping names.

Christoph Lameter 12c3667fb7 mm/sl[aou]b: Get rid of __kmem_cache_destroy
What is done there can be done in __kmem_cache_shutdown.

This affects RCU handling somewhat. On rcu free all slab allocators do
not refer to other management structures than the kmem_cache structure.
Therefore these other structures can be freed before the rcu deferred
free to the page allocator occurs.

Move the code to append the new kmem_cache to the list of slab caches to

This is possible now since the acquisition of the mutex was moved into
kmem_cache_create().

Christoph Lameter 686d550d22 mm/slab_common: Improve error handling in kmem_cache_create
Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more
detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality
from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will
also add more error conditions.

Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module
can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow
the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem
in the syslog.

Shuah Khan 77be4b1366 mm/slab: restructure kmem_cache_create() debug checks
kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is
defined.  These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead
to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined.
Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function
would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow
for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing
new warnings in the regular path.

This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following
thread:

Christoph Lameter 18004c5d40 mm, sl[aou]b: Use a common mutex definition
Use the mutex definition from SLAB and make it the common way to take a sleeping lock.

This has the effect of using a mutex instead of a rw semaphore for SLUB.

SLOB gains the use of a mutex for kmem_cache_create serialization.
Not needed now but SLOB may acquire some more features later (like slabinfo
/ sysfs support) through the expansion of the common code that will
need this.

Christoph Lameter 039363f38b mm, sl[aou]b: Extract common code for kmem_cache_create()
Kmem_cache_create() does a variety of sanity checks but those
vary depending on the allocator. Use the strictest tests and put them into
a slab_common file. Make the tests conditional on CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.

This patch has the effect of adding sanity checks for SLUB and SLOB
under CONFIG_DEBUG_VM and removes the checks in SLAB for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM.
