slab: get_online_mems for kmem_cache_{create,destroy,shrink}
When we create a sl[au]b cache, we allocate kmem_cache_node structures
for each online NUMA node. To handle nodes taken online/offline, we
register memory hotplug notifier and allocate/free kmem_cache_node
corresponding to the node that changes its state for each kmem cache.
To synchronize between the two paths we hold the slab_mutex during both
the cache creationg/destruction path and while tuning per-node parts of
kmem caches in memory hotplug handler, but that's not quite right,
because it does not guarantee that a newly created cache will have all
kmem_cache_nodes initialized in case it races with memory hotplug. For
instance, in case of slub:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
kmem_cache_create: online_pages:
__kmem_cache_create: slab_memory_callback:
slab_mem_going_online_callback:
lock slab_mutex
for each slab_caches list entry
allocate kmem_cache node
unlock slab_mutex
lock slab_mutex
init_kmem_cache_nodes:
for_each_node_state(node, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
allocate kmem_cache node
add kmem_cache to slab_caches list
unlock slab_mutex
online_pages (continued):
node_states_set_node
As a result we'll get a kmem cache with not all kmem_cache_nodes
allocated.
To avoid issues like that we should hold get/put_online_mems() during
the whole kmem cache creation/destruction/shrink paths, just like we
deal with cpu hotplug. This patch does the trick.
Note, that after it's applied, there is no need in taking the slab_mutex
for kmem_cache_shrink any more, so it is removed from there.
