This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled slub: clean up code for kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: slub-clean-up-code-for-kmem-cgroup-support-to-kmem_cache_free_bulk.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 376bf125ac781d32e202760ed7deb1ae4ed35d31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 14:53:32 -0700 Subject: slub: clean up code for kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 376bf125ac781d32e202760ed7deb1ae4ed35d31 upstream. This change is primarily an attempt to make it easier to realize the optimizations the compiler performs in-case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled. Performance wise, even when CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled in, the overhead is zero. This is because, as long as no process have enabled kmem cgroups accounting, the assignment is replaced by asm-NOP operations. This is possible because memcg_kmem_enabled() uses a static_key_false() construct. It also helps readability as it avoid accessing the p[] array like: p[size - 1] which "expose" that the array is processed backwards inside helper function build_detached_freelist(). Lastly this also makes the code more robust, in error case like passing NULL pointers in the array. Which were previously handled before commit 033745189b1b ("slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
