mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators
This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory
objects not bound to a single kmem_cache.
Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of
objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is
available from the object's page->slab_cache. Proposing to remove the
kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API.
Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a
performance cost. It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled
in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow. The extra
cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does
the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow.
Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a
kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly
easily. Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a
kmem_cache NULL pointer.
This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.
Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K
@ 4.00GHz, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y.
