Subject: [PATCH] slub: missing test for partial pages flush work in flush_all At present, I found some kernel message like: SLUB raid5-md127: kmem_cache_destroy called for cache that still has objects. Pid: 6143, comm: mdadm Tainted: G O 3.4.0-rc6+ #75 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811227f8>] kmem_cache_destroy+0x328/0x400 [<ffffffffa005ff1d>] free_conf+0x2d/0xf0 [raid456] [<ffffffffa0060791>] stop+0x41/0x60 [raid456] [<ffffffffa000276a>] md_stop+0x1a/0x60 [md_mod] [<ffffffffa000c974>] do_md_stop+0x74/0x470 [md_mod] [<ffffffffa000d0ff>] md_ioctl+0xff/0x11f0 [md_mod] [<ffffffff8127c958>] blkdev_ioctl+0xd8/0x7a0 [<ffffffff8115ef6b>] block_ioctl+0x3b/0x40 [<ffffffff8113b9c6>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x560 [<ffffffff8113bf21>] sys_ioctl+0x91/0xa0 [<ffffffff816e9d22>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Then using kmemleak can found those messages: unreferenced object 0xffff8800b6db7380 (size 112): comm "mdadm", pid 5783, jiffies 4294810749 (age 90.589s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 01 01 db b6 ad 4e ad de ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff .....N.......... ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 98 40 4a 82 ff ff ff ff .........@J..... backtrace: [<ffffffff816b52c1>] kmemleak_alloc+0x21/0x50 [<ffffffff8111a11b>] kmem_cache_alloc+0xeb/0x1b0 [<ffffffff8111c431>] kmem_cache_open+0x2f1/0x430 [<ffffffff8111c6c8>] kmem_cache_create+0x158/0x320 [<ffffffffa008f979>] setup_conf+0x649/0x770 [raid456] [<ffffffffa009044b>] run+0x68b/0x840 [raid456] [<ffffffffa000bde9>] md_run+0x529/0x940 [md_mod] [<ffffffffa000c218>] do_md_run+0x18/0xc0 [md_mod] [<ffffffffa000dba8>] md_ioctl+0xba8/0x11f0 [md_mod] [<ffffffff81272b28>] blkdev_ioctl+0xd8/0x7a0 [<ffffffff81155bfb>] block_ioctl+0x3b/0x40 [<ffffffff811326d6>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x560 [<ffffffff81132c31>] sys_ioctl+0x91/0xa0 [<ffffffff816dd3a2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff Because kmemleak don't detect page leak, so the pages of slabs did not print. Commit a8364d5555b2030d093cde0f0795 modified flush_all to only send IPI to flush per-cpu cache pages to CPUs that seems to have done.
