Re: [PATCH] mm: remove all the slab allocators

As the SLOB removal is on track and the SLAB removal is planned, I have
realized - why should we stop there and not remove also SLUB? What's a
slab allocator good for in 2023? The RAM sizes are getting larger and
the modules cheaper [1]. The object constructor trick was perhaps
interesting in 1994, but not with contemporary CPUs. So all the slab
allocator does today is just adding an unnecessary layer of complexity
over the page allocator.

Thus, with this patch, all three slab allocators are removed, and only a
layer that passes everything to the page allocator remains in the slab.h
and mm/slab_common.c files. This will allow users to gradually
transition away and use the page allocator directly. To summarize the
advantages:

- Less code to maintain: over 13k lines are removed by this patch, and
   more could be removed if I wast^Wspent more time on this, and later as
   users are transitioned from the legacy layer. This no longer needs a
   separate subsystem so remove it from MAINTAINERS (I hope I can keep the
   kernel.org account anyway, though).

- Simplified MEMCG_KMEM accounting: while I was lazy and just marked it
   BROKEN in this patch, it should be trivial to use the page memcg
   accounting now that we use the page allocator. The per-object
   accounting went through several iterations in the past and was always
   complex and added overhead. Page accounting is much simpler by
   comparison.

- Simplified KASAN and friends: also was lazy in this patch so they
   can't be enabled but should be easy to fix up and work just on the
   page level.

- Simpler debugging: just use debug_pagealloc=on, no need to look up the
   exact syntax of the absurdly complex slub_debug parameter.

- Speed: didn't measure, but for the page allocator we have pcplists, so
   it should scale just fine. No need for the crazy SLUB's cmpxchg_double()
   craziness. Maybe that thing could be now removed too? Yeah I can see
   just two remaining users.

Any downsides? Let's look at memory usage after virtme boot:

Before (with SLUB):
Slab:              26304 kB

After:
Slab:             295592 kB

Well, that's not so bad, see [1].

- * 	(c) 2002 Manfred Spraul
- *
- * An implementation of the Slab Allocator as described in outline in;
- *	UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia
- *	Pub: Prentice Hall	ISBN 0-13-101908-2
- * or with a little more detail in;
- *	The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator
- *	Jeff Bonwick (Sun Microsystems).
- *	Presented at: USENIX Summer 1994 Technical Conference
- *
- * The memory is organized in caches, one cache for each object type.
- * (e.g. inode_cache, dentry_cache, buffer_head, vm_area_struct)
- * Each cache consists out of many slabs (they are small (usually one
- * page long) and always contiguous), and each slab contains multiple
- * initialized objects.
- *
- * This means, that your constructor is used only for newly allocated
- * slabs and you must pass objects with the same initializations to
- * kmem_cache_free.
- *
- * Each cache can only support one memory type (GFP_DMA, GFP_HIGHMEM,
- * normal). If you need a special memory type, then must create a new
- * cache for that memory type.
- *
- * In order to reduce fragmentation, the slabs are sorted in 3 groups:
- *   full slabs with 0 free objects
- *   partial slabs
- *   empty slabs with no allocated objects
- *
- * If partial slabs exist, then new allocations come from these slabs,
- * otherwise from empty slabs or new slabs are allocated.
- *
- * kmem_cache_destroy() CAN CRASH if you try to allocate from the cache
- * during kmem_cache_destroy(). The caller must prevent concurrent allocs.
- *
- * Each cache has a short per-cpu head array, most allocs
- * and frees go into that array, and if that array overflows, then 1/2
- * of the entries in the array are given back into the global cache.
- * The head array is strictly LIFO and should improve the cache hit rates.
- * On SMP, it additionally reduces the spinlock operations.
- *
- * The c_cpuarray may not be read with enabled local interrupts -
- * it's changed with a smp_call_function().
- *
- * SMP synchronization:
- *  constructors and destructors are called without any locking.
- *  Several members in struct kmem_cache and struct slab never change, they
- *	are accessed without any locking.
- *  The per-cpu arrays are never accessed from the wrong cpu, no locking,
- *  	and local interrupts are disabled so slab code is preempt-safe.
- *  The non-constant members are protected with a per-cache irq spinlock.
- *
- * Many thanks to Mark Hemment, who wrote another per-cpu slab patch
- * in 2000 - many ideas in the current implementation are derived from
- * his patch.
- *
- * Further notes from the original documentation:
- *
- * 11 April '97.  Started multi-threading - markhe
- *	The global cache-chain is protected by the mutex 'slab_mutex'.
- *	The sem is only needed when accessing/extending the cache-chain, which
- *	can never happen inside an interrupt (kmem_cache_create(),
- *	kmem_cache_shrink() and kmem_cache_reap()).
- *
- *	At present, each engine can be growing a cache.  This should be blocked.
- *
- * 15 March 2005. NUMA slab allocator.
- *	Shai Fultheim <shai@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
- *	Shobhit Dayal <shobhit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- *	Alok N Kataria <alokk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- *	Christoph Lameter <christoph@xxxxxxxxxxx>
- *
- *	Modified the slab allocator to be node aware on NUMA systems.
- *	Each node has its own list of partial, free and full slabs.
- *	All object allocations for a node occur from node specific slab lists.
