Subject: mm/slab: improve performance of gathering slabinfo stats
On large systems, when some slab caches grow to millions of objects (and
many gigabytes), running 'cat /proc/slabinfo' can take up to 1-2 seconds.
During this time, interrupts are disabled while walking the slab lists
(slabs_full, slabs_partial, and slabs_free) for each node, and this
sometimes causes timeouts in other drivers (for instance, Infiniband).
This patch optimizes 'cat /proc/slabinfo' by maintaining a counter for
total number of allocated slabs per node, per cache. This counter is
updated when a slab is created or destroyed. This enables us to skip
traversing the slabs_full list while gathering slabinfo statistics, and
since slabs_full tends to be the biggest list when the cache is large, it
results in a dramatic performance improvement. Getting slabinfo
statistics now only requires walking the slabs_free and slabs_partial
lists, and those lists are usually much smaller than slabs_full. We
tested this after growing the dentry cache to 70GB, and the performance
improved from 2s to 5ms.
