mm, slab: rename kmalloc-node cache to kmalloc-<size>
SLAB as part of its bootstrap pre-creates one kmalloc cache that can fit
the kmem_cache_node management structure, and puts it into the generic
kmalloc cache array (e.g. for 128b objects). The name of this cache is
"kmalloc-node", which is confusing for readers of /proc/slabinfo as the
cache is used for generic allocations (and not just the kmem_cache_node
struct) and it appears as the kmalloc-128 cache is missing.
An easy solution is to use the kmalloc-<size> name when pre-creating the
cache, which we can get from the kmalloc_info array.
Example /proc/slabinfo before the patch:
...
kmalloc-256 1647 1984 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 124 124 828
kmalloc-192 1974 1974 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 94 94 133
kmalloc-96 1332 1344 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 42 42 219
kmalloc-64 2505 5952 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 93 93 715
kmalloc-32 4278 4464 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 36 36 346
kmalloc-node 1352 1376 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 43 43 53
kmem_cache 132 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0
After the patch:
...
kmalloc-256 1672 2160 256 16 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 135 135 807
kmalloc-192 1992 2016 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 96 96 203
kmalloc-96 1159 1184 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 37 37 116
kmalloc-64 2561 4864 64 64 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 76 76 785
kmalloc-32 4253 4340 32 124 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 35 35 270
kmalloc-128 1256 1280 128 32 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 40 40 39
kmem_cache 125 147 192 21 1 : tunables 120 60 8 : slabdata 7 7 0
