This patch implements the free side of bulk API for the SLAB allocator kmem_cache_free_bulk(), and concludes the implementation of optimized bulk API for SLAB allocator. Benchmarked[1] cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K @ 4.00GHz, with no debug options, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y but no active user of kmemcg. SLAB single alloc+free cost: 87 cycles(tsc) 21.814 ns with this optimized config. bulk- Current fallback - optimized SLAB bulk 1 - 102 cycles(tsc) 25.747 ns - 41 cycles(tsc) 10.490 ns - improved 59.8% 2 - 94 cycles(tsc) 23.546 ns - 26 cycles(tsc) 6.567 ns - improved 72.3% 3 - 92 cycles(tsc) 23.127 ns - 20 cycles(tsc) 5.244 ns - improved 78.3% 4 - 90 cycles(tsc) 22.663 ns - 18 cycles(tsc) 4.588 ns - improved 80.0% 8 - 88 cycles(tsc) 22.242 ns - 14 cycles(tsc) 3.656 ns - improved 84.1% 16 - 88 cycles(tsc) 22.010 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.480 ns - improved 85.2% 30 - 89 cycles(tsc) 22.305 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.303 ns - improved 85.4% 32 - 89 cycles(tsc) 22.277 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.309 ns - improved 85.4% 34 - 88 cycles(tsc) 22.246 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.294 ns - improved 85.2% 48 - 88 cycles(tsc) 22.121 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.492 ns - improved 85.2% 64 - 88 cycles(tsc) 22.052 ns - 13 cycles(tsc) 3.411 ns - improved 85.2% 128 - 89 cycles(tsc) 22.452 ns - 15 cycles(tsc) 3.841 ns - improved 83.1% 158 - 89 cycles(tsc) 22.403 ns - 14 cycles(tsc) 3.746 ns - improved 84.3% 250 - 91 cycles(tsc) 22.775 ns - 16 cycles(tsc) 4.111 ns - improved 82.4% Notice it is not recommended to do very large bulk operation with this bulk API, because local IRQs are disabled in this period.
