Instead of using s == NULL use an errorcode. This allows much more
detailed diagnostics as to what went wrong. As we add more functionality
from the slab allocators to the common kmem_cache_create() function we will
also add more error conditions.
Print the error code during the panic as well as in a warning if the module
can handle failure. The API for kmem_cache_create() currently does not allow
the returning of an error code. Return NULL but log the cause of the problem
in the syslog.

Add additional debugging to check that the objects is actually from the cache
the caller claims. Doing so currently trips up some other debugging code. It
takes a lot to infer from that what was happening.

[ penberg@kernel.org: Use pr_err() ]

Without this patch we can get (many) kmem trace events
with call site at krealloc().
This happens because krealloc is calling __krealloc,
which performs the allocation through kmalloc_track_caller.
Since neither krealloc nor __krealloc are marked inline explicitly,
the caller can be traced as being krealloc, which clearly is not
the intended behavior.
This patch allows to get the real caller of krealloc, by creating
an always inlined function __do_krealloc, thus tracing the
call site accurately.

kmem_cache_create() does cache integrity checks when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is
defined. These checks interspersed with the regular code path has lead
to compile time warnings when compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM defined.
Restructuring the code to move the integrity checks in to a new function
would eliminate the current compile warning problem and also will allow
for future changes to the debug only code to evolve without introducing
new warnings in the regular path.
This restructuring work is based on the discussion in the following
thread:

In current implementation, after unfreezing, we doesn't touch oldpage,
so it remain 'NOT NULL'. When we call this_cpu_cmpxchg()
with this old oldpage, this_cpu_cmpxchg() is mostly be failed.
We can change value of oldpage to NULL after unfreezing,
because unfreeze_partial() ensure that all the cpu partial slabs is removed
from cpu partial list. In this time, we could expect that
this_cpu_cmpxchg is mostly succeed.

Only applies to scenarios where debugging is on:
Validation of slabs can currently occur while debugging
information is updated from the fast paths of the allocator.
This results in various races where we get false reports about
slab metadata not being in order.
This patch makes the fast paths take the node lock so that
serialization with slab validation will occur. Causes additional
slowdown in debug scenarios.

page_get_cache() does not need to call compound_head(), as its unique
caller virt_to_slab() already makes sure to return a head page.
Additionally, removing the compound_head() call makes page_get_cache()
consistent with page_get_slab().

When freeing objects, the slub allocator will most of the time free
empty pages by calling __free_pages(). But high-order kmalloc will be
diposed by means of put_page() instead. It makes no sense to call
put_page() in kernel pages that are provided by the object allocators,
so we shouldn't be doing this ourselves. Aside from the consistency
change, we don't change the flow too much. put_page()'s would call its
dtor function, which is __free_pages. We also already do all of the
Compound page tests ourselves, and the Mlock test we lose don't really
matter.

but didn't go in because the pull request ended up rejected. So it
just got merged, and we got this staged branch that enables the

With a stable git workflow from the other maintainer we could have
staged this earlier, but that wasn't the case so we have had to merge
it late.
The alternative is to hold it off until 3.7 but given that the code is
well-isolated to OMAP and they are eager to see it go in, I didn't
push back hard in that direction."
