    slab: implement bulk free in SLAB allocator · e6cdb58d
    Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored
    This patch implements the free side of bulk API for the SLAB allocator
    kmem_cache_free_bulk(), and concludes the implementation of optimized
    bulk API for SLAB allocator.
    
    Benchmarked[1] cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K @
    4.00GHz, with no debug options, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y but
    no active user of kmemcg.
    
    SLAB single alloc+free cost: 87 cycles(tsc) 21.814 ns with this
    optimized config.
    
    bulk- Current fallback          - optimized SLAB bulk
      1 - 102 cycles(tsc) 25.747 ns - 41 cycles(tsc) 10.490 ns - improved 59.8%
      2 -  94 cycles(tsc) 23.546 ns - 26 cycles(tsc)  6.567 ns - improved 72.3%

      8 -  88 cycles(tsc) 22.242 ns - 14 cycles(tsc)  3.656 ns - improved 84.1%
     16 -  88 cycles(tsc) 22.010 ns - 13 cycles(tsc)  3.480 ns - improved 85.2%

     34 -  88 cycles(tsc) 22.246 ns - 13 cycles(tsc)  3.294 ns - improved 85.2%
     48 -  88 cycles(tsc) 22.121 ns - 13 cycles(tsc)  3.492 ns - improved 85.2%
     64 -  88 cycles(tsc) 22.052 ns - 13 cycles(tsc)  3.411 ns - improved 85.2%
    128 -  89 cycles(tsc) 22.452 ns - 15 cycles(tsc)  3.841 ns - improved 83.1%
    158 -  89 cycles(tsc) 22.403 ns - 14 cycles(tsc)  3.746 ns - improved 84.3%
    250 -  91 cycles(tsc) 22.775 ns - 16 cycles(tsc)  4.111 ns - improved 82.4%
    
    Notice it is not recommended to do very large bulk operation with
    this bulk API, because local IRQs are disabled in this period.
