[PATCH] cpuset memory spread slab cache optimizations
The hooks in the slab cache allocator code path for support of NUMA
mempolicies and cpuset memory spreading are in an important code path. Many
systems will use neither feature.
This patch optimizes those hooks down to a single check of some bits in the
current tasks task_struct flags. For non NUMA systems, this hook and related
code is already ifdef'd out.
The optimization is done by using another task flag, set if the task is using
a non-default NUMA mempolicy. Taking this flag bit along with the
PF_SPREAD_PAGE and PF_SPREAD_SLAB flag bits added earlier in this 'cpuset
memory spreading' patch set, one can check for the combination of any of these
special case memory placement mechanisms with a single test of the current
tasks task_struct flags.
This patch also tightens up the code, to save a few bytes of kernel text
space, and moves some of it out of line. Due to the nested inlines called
from multiple places, we were ending up with three copies of this code, which
once we get off the main code path (for local node allocation) seems a bit
wasteful of instruction memory.
