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").
