      This breaks Pekka's slab/next tree with this:
      
      mm/slob.c: In function '__kmalloc_node_track_caller':
      mm/slob.c:488: error: 'gfp' undeclared (first use in this function)
      mm/slob.c:488: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
      mm/slob.c:488: error: for each function it appears in.)
      
      mm, slob: fix build breakage in __kmalloc_node_track_caller
      
      "mm, slob: Add support for kmalloc_track_caller()" breaks the build
      because gfp is undeclared.  Fix it.

      slob/lockdep: Fix gfp flags passed to lockdep · bd50cfa8
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Doing a ktest.pl randconfig, I stumbled across the following bug
      on boot up:
      
      ------------[ cut here ]------------
      WARNING: at /home/rostedt/work/autotest/nobackup/linux-test.git/kernel/lockdep.c:2649 lockdep_trace_alloc+0xed/0x100()

      ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a725 ]---
      
      Then I ran a ktest.pl config_bisect and it came up with this config
      as the problem:
      
        CONFIG_SLOB
      
      Looking at what is different between SLOB and SLAB and SLUB, I found
      that the gfp flags are masked against gfp_allowed_mask in
      SLAB and SLUB, but not SLOB.
      
      On boot up, interrupts are disabled and lockdep will warn if some flags
      are set in gfp and interrupts are disabled. But these flags are masked
      off with the gfp_allowed_mask during boot. Because SLOB does not
      mask the flags against gfp_allowed_mask it triggers the warn on.
      
      Adding this mask fixes the bug. I also found that kmem_cache_alloc_node()
      was missing both the mask and the lockdep check, and that was added too.

      SLOB: Free objects to their own list · d602daba

      SLOB has alloced smaller objects from their own list in reduce overall external

      lockdep: annotate reclaim context (__GFP_NOFS) · cf40bd16
      Nick Piggin authored
      Here is another version, with the incremental patch rolled up, and
      added reclaim context annotation to kswapd, and allocation tracing
      to slab allocators (which may only ever reach the page allocator
      in rare cases, so it is good to put annotations here too).
      
      Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer
      to merge worthy ;)
      
      --
      After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS
      allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to
      try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep.
      
      I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to
      actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark
      it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common
      (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some
      improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's
      interrupt contexts).
      
      I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and
      even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly
      code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes.
      
      It *seems* to work. I did a quick test.
