Patch series "psi: pressure stall information for CPU, memory, and IO", v4.
Overview
PSI reports the overall wallclock time in which the tasks in a system (or
cgroup) wait for (contended) hardware resources.
This helps users understand the resource pressure their workloads are
under, which allows them to rootcause and fix throughput and latency
problems caused by overcommitting, underprovisioning, suboptimal job
placement in a grid; as well as anticipate major disruptions like OOM.
Real-world applications
We're using the data collected by PSI (and its previous incarnation,
memdelay) quite extensively at Facebook, and with several success stories.
One usecase is avoiding OOM hangs/livelocks. The reason these happen is
because the OOM killer is triggered by reclaim not being able to free
pages, but with fast flash devices there is *always* some clean and
uptodate cache to reclaim; the OOM killer never kicks in, even as tasks
spend 90% of the time thrashing the cache pages of their own executables.
There is no situation where this ever makes sense in practice. We wrote a
<100 line POC python script to monitor memory pressure and kill stuff way
before such pathological thrashing leads to full system losses that would
require forcible hard resets.
We've since extended and deployed this code into other places to guarantee
latency and throughput SLAs, since they're usually violated way before the
kernel OOM killer would ever kick in.
It is available here: https://github.com/facebookincubator/oomd
Eventually we probably want to trigger the in-kernel OOM killer based on
extreme sustained pressure as well, so that Linux can avoid memory
livelocks - which technically aren't deadlocks, but to the user
indistinguishable from them - out of the box. We'd continue using OOMD as
the first line of defense to ensure workload health and implement complex
kill policies that are beyond the scope of the kernel.
We also use PSI memory pressure for loadshedding. Our batch job
infrastructure used to use heuristics based on various VM stats to
anticipate OOM situations, with lackluster success. We switched it to PSI
and managed to anticipate and avoid OOM kills and lockups fairly reliably.
The reduction of OOM outages in the worker pool raised the pool's
aggregate productivity, and we were able to switch that service to smaller
machines.
Lastly, we use cgroups to isolate a machine's main workload from
maintenance crap like package upgrades, logging, configuration, as well as
to prevent multiple workloads on a machine from stepping on each others'
toes. We were not able to configure this properly without the pressure
metrics; we would see latency or bandwidth drops, but it would often be
hard to impossible to rootcause it post-mortem.
We now log and graph pressure for the containers in our fleet and can
trivially link latency spikes and throughput drops to shortages of
specific resources after the fact, and fix the job config/scheduling.
PSI has also received testing, feedback, and feature requests from Android
and EndlessOS for the purpose of low-latency OOM killing, to intervene in
pressure situations before the UI starts hanging.
How do you use this feature?
A kernel with CONFIG_PSI=y will create a /proc/pressure directory with 3
files: cpu, memory, and io. If using cgroup2, cgroups will also have
cpu.pressure, memory.pressure and io.pressure files, which simply
aggregate task stalls at the cgroup level instead of system-wide.
The cpu file contains one line:
some avg10=2.04 avg60=0.75 avg300=0.40 total=157656722
The averages give the percentage of walltime in which one or more tasks
are delayed on the runqueue while another task has the CPU. They're
recent averages over 10s, 1m, 5m windows, so you can tell short term
trends from long term ones, similarly to the load average.
The total= value gives the absolute stall time in microseconds. This
allows detecting latency spikes that might be too short to sway the
running averages. It also allows custom time averaging in case the
10s/1m/5m windows aren't adequate for the usecase (or are too coarse with
future hardware).
What to make of this "some" metric? If CPU utilization is at 100% and CPU
pressure is 0, it means the system is perfectly utilized, with one
runnable thread per CPU and nobody waiting. At two or more runnable tasks
per CPU, the system is 100% overcommitted and the pressure average will
indicate as much. From a utilization perspective this is a great state of
course: no CPU cycles are being wasted, even when 50% of the threads were
to go idle (as most workloads do vary). From the perspective of the
individual job it's not great, however, and they would do better with more
resources. Depending on what your priority and options are, raised "some"
numbers may or may not require action.
The memory file contains two lines:
some avg10=70.24 avg60=68.52 avg300=69.91 total=3559632828
full avg10=57.59 avg60=58.06 avg300=60.38 total=3300487258
The some line is the same as for cpu, the time in which at least one task
is stalled on the resource. In the case of memory, this includes waiting
on swap-in, page cache refaults and page reclaim.
The full line, however, indicates time in which *nobody* is using the CPU
productively due to pressure: all non-idle tasks are waiting for memory in
one form or another. Significant time spent in there is a good trigger
for killing things, moving jobs to other machines, or dropping incoming
requests, since neither the jobs nor the machine overall are making too
much headway.
The io file is similar to memory. Because the block layer doesn't have a
concept of hardware contention right now (how much longer is my IO request
taking due to other tasks?), it reports CPU potential lost on all IO
delays, not just the potential lost due to competition.
FAQ
Q: How is PSI's CPU component different from the load average?
A: There are several quirks in the load average that make it hard to
impossible to tell how overcommitted the CPU really is.
1. The load average is reported as a raw number of active tasks.
You need to know how many CPUs there are in the system, how many
CPUs the workload is allowed to use, then think about what the
proportion between load and the number of CPUs mean for the
tasks trying to run.
PSI reports the percentage of wallclock time in which tasks are
waiting for a CPU to run on. It doesn't matter how many CPUs are
present or usable. The number always tells the quality of life
of tasks in the system or in a particular cgroup.
2. The shortest averaging window is 1m, which is extremely coarse,
and it's sampled in 5s intervals. A *lot* can happen on a CPU in
5 seconds. This *may* be able to identify persistent long-term
trends and very clear and obvious overloads, but it's unusable
for latency spikes and more subtle overutilization.
PSI's shortest window is 10s. It also exports the cumulative
stall times (in microseconds) of synchronously recorded events.
3. On Linux, the load average for historical reasons includes all
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE tasks. This gives a broader sense of how
busy the system is, but on the flipside it doesn't distinguish
whether tasks are likely to contend over the CPU or IO - which
obviously requires very different interventions from a sys admin
or a job scheduler.
PSI reports independent metrics for CPU and IO. You can tell
which resource is making the tasks wait, but in conjunction
still see how overloaded the system is overall.
Q: What's the cost / performance impact of this feature?
A: PSI's primary cost is in the scheduler, in particular task wakeups
and sleeps.
I benchmarked this code using Facebook's two most scheduling
sensitive workloads: memcache and webserver. They handle a ton of
small requests - lots of wakeups and sleeps with little actual work
in between - so they tend to be canaries for scheduler regressions.
In the tests, the boxes were handling live traffic over the course
of several hours. Half the machines, the control, ran with
CONFIG_PSI=n.
For memcache I used eight machines total. They're 2-socket, 14
core, 56 thread boxes. The test runs for half the test period,
flips the test and control kernels on the hardware to rule out HW
factors, DC location etc., then runs the other half of the test.
For the webservers, I used 32 machines total. They're single
socket, 16 core, 32 thread machines.
During the memcache test, CPU load was nopsi=78.05% psi=78.98% in
the first half and nopsi=77.52% psi=78.25%, so PSI added between
0.7 and 0.9 percentage points to the CPU load, a difference of
about 1%.
UPDATE: I re-ran this test with the v3 version of this patch set
and the CPU utilization was equivalent between test and control.
UPDATE: v4 is on par with v3.
As far as end-to-end request latency from the client perspective
goes, we don't sample those finely enough to capture the requests
going to those particular machines during the test, but we know the
p50 turnaround time in this workload is 54us, and perf bench sched
pipe on those machines show nopsi=5.232666 us/op and psi=5.587347
us/op, so this doesn't add much here either.
The profile for the pipe benchmark shows:
0.87% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change
0.83% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_group_change
0.82% perf.real [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change
0.58% sched-pipe [kernel.vmlinux] [k] psi_task_change
The webserver load is running inside 4 nested cgroup levels. The
CPU load with both nopsi and psi kernels was indistinguishable at
81%.
For comparison, we had to disable the cgroup cpu controller on the
webservers because it added 4 percentage points to the CPU% during
this same exact test.
Versions of this accounting code now run on 80% of our fleet. None
of our workloads have reported regressions during the rollout.

This patch (of 9):
If we keep just enough refault information to match the *current* page
cache during reclaim time, we could lose a lot of events when there is
only a temporary spike in non-cache memory consumption that pushes out all
the cache. Once cache comes back, we won't see those refaults. They
might not be actionable for LRU aging, but we want to know about them for
measuring memory pressure.

Kmalloc cache names can get quite long for large object sizes, when the
sizes are expressed in bytes. Use 'k' and 'M' prefixes to make the names
as short as possible e.g. in /proc/slabinfo. This works, as we mostly
use power-of-two sizes, with exceptions only below 1k.
Example: 'kmalloc-4194304' becomes 'kmalloc-4M'

The vmstat NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE counter is for kernel non-slab
allocations that can be reclaimed via shrinker. In /proc/meminfo, we can
show the sum of all reclaimable kernel allocations (including slab) as
"KReclaimable". Add the same counter also to per-node meminfo under /sys
With this counter, users will have more complete information about kernel
memory usage. Non-slab reclaimable pages (currently just the ION
allocator) will not be missing from /proc/meminfo, making users wonder
where part of their memory went. More precisely, they already appear in
MemAvailable, but without the new counter, it's not obvious why the value
in MemAvailable doesn't fully correspond with the sum of other counters
participating in it.

The vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES was introduced by
commit eb59254608 ("mm: introduce NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES") with
the goal of accounting objects that can be reclaimed, but cannot be
allocated via a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT cache. This is now possible via
kmalloc() with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE flag, and the dcache external names user
is converted.
The counter is however still useful for accounting direct page allocations
(i.e. not slab) with a shrinker, such as the ION page pool. So keep it,
and:
- change granularity to pages to be more like other counters; sub-page
allocations should be able to use kmalloc
- rename the counter to NR_KERNEL_MISC_RECLAIMABLE
- expose the counter again in vmstat as "nr_kernel_misc_reclaimable"; we can
again remove the check for not printing "hidden" counters

We can use the newly introduced kmalloc-reclaimable-X caches, to allocate
external names in dcache, which will take care of the proper accounting
automatically, and also improve anti-fragmentation page grouping.
This effectively reverts commit f1782c9bc5 ("dcache: account external
names as indirectly reclaimable memory") and instead passes
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to kmalloc(). The accounting thus moves from
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE, which is also
considered in MemAvailable calculation and overcommit decisions.

Kmem caches can be created with a SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag, which
indicates they contain objects which can be reclaimed under memory
pressure (typically through a shrinker). This makes the slab pages
accounted as NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE in vmstat, which is reflected also the
MemAvailable meminfo counter and in overcommit decisions. The slab pages
are also allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE, which is good for
anti-fragmentation through grouping pages by mobility.
The generic kmalloc-X caches are created without this flag, but sometimes
are used also for objects that can be reclaimed, which due to varying size
cannot have a dedicated kmem cache with SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag. A
prominent example are dcache external names, which prompted the creation
of a new, manually managed vmstat counter NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES
in commit f1782c9bc5 ("dcache: account external names as indirectly
reclaimable memory").
To better handle this and any other similar cases, this patch introduces
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT variants of kmalloc caches, named kmalloc-rcl-X.
They are used whenever the kmalloc() call passes __GFP_RECLAIMABLE among
gfp flags. They are added to the kmalloc_caches array as a new type.
Allocations with both __GFP_DMA and __GFP_RECLAIMABLE will use a dma type
cache.
This change only applies to SLAB and SLUB, not SLOB. This is fine, since
SLOB's target are tiny system and this patch does add some overhead of
kmem management objects.

Patch series "kmalloc-reclaimable caches", v4.
As discussed at LSF/MM [1] here's a patchset that introduces
kmalloc-reclaimable caches (more details in the second patch) and uses
them for dcache external names. That allows us to repurpose the
NR_INDIRECTLY_RECLAIMABLE_BYTES counter later in the series.
With patch 3/6, dcache external names are allocated from kmalloc-rcl-*
caches, eliminating the need for manual accounting. More importantly, it
also ensures the reclaimable kmalloc allocations are grouped in pages
separate from the regular kmalloc allocations. The need for proper
accounting of dcache external names has shown it's easy for misbehaving
process to allocate lots of them, causing premature OOMs. Without the
added grouping, it's likely that a similar workload can interleave the
dcache external names allocations with regular kmalloc allocations (note:
I haven't searched myself for an example of such regular kmalloc
allocation, but I would be very surprised if there wasn't some). A
pathological case would be e.g. one 64byte regular allocations with 63
external dcache names in a page (64x64=4096), which means the page is not
freed even after reclaiming after all dcache names, and the process can
thus "steal" the whole page with single 64byte allocation.
If other kmalloc users similar to dcache external names become identified,
they can also benefit from the new functionality simply by adding
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE to the kmalloc calls.
Side benefits of the patchset (that could be also merged separately)
include removed branch for detecting __GFP_DMA kmalloc(), and shortening
kmalloc cache names in /proc/slabinfo output. The latter is potentially
an ABI break in case there are tools parsing the names and expecting the
values to be in bytes.
This is how /proc/slabinfo looks like after booting in virtme:
...
kmalloc-rcl-4M 0 0 4194304 1 1024 : tunables 1 1 0 : slabdata 0 0 0

This patch (of 6):
The kmalloc caches currently mainain separate (optional) array
kmalloc_dma_caches for __GFP_DMA allocations. There are tests for
__GFP_DMA in the allocation hotpaths. We can avoid the branches by
combining kmalloc_caches and kmalloc_dma_caches into a single
two-dimensional array where the outer dimension is cache "type". This
will also allow to add kmalloc-reclaimable caches as a third type.

get_mempolicy(MPOL_F_NODE|MPOL_F_ADDR) called a get_user_pages that would
not be waiting for userfaults before failing and it would hit on a SIGBUS
instead. Using get_user_pages_locked/unlocked instead will allow
get_mempolicy to allow userfaults to resolve the fault and fill the hole,
before grabbing the node id of the page.
If the user calls get_mempolicy() with MPOL_F_ADDR | MPOL_F_NODE for an
address inside an area managed by uffd and there is no page at that
address, the page allocation from within get_mempolicy() will fail
because get_user_pages() does not allow for page fault retry required
for uffd; the user will get SIGBUS.
With this patch, the page fault will be resolved by the uffd and the
get_mempolicy() will continue normally.
Background:
Via code review, previously the syscall would have returned -EFAULT
(vm_fault_to_errno), now it will block and wait for an userfault (if
it's waken before the fault is resolved it'll still -EFAULT).
This way get_mempolicy will give a chance to an "unaware" app to be
compliant with userfaults.
The reason this visible change is that becoming "userfault compliant"
cannot regress anything: all other syscalls including read(2)/write(2)
had to become "userfault compliant" long time ago (that's one of the
things userfaultfd can do that PROT_NONE and trapping segfaults can't).
So this is just one more syscall that become "userfault compliant" like
all other major ones already were.
This has been happening on virtio-bridge dpdk process which just called
get_mempolicy on the guest space post live migration, but before the
memory had a chance to be migrated to destination.
I didn't run an strace to be able to show the -EFAULT going away, but
I've the confirmation of the below debug aid information (only visible
with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) going away with the patch:

The above harmless debug message (not a kernel crash, just a
dump_stack()) is shown with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y to more quickly identify
and improve kernel spots that may have to become "userfaultfd
compliant" like this one (without having to run an strace and search
for syscall misbehavior). Spots like the above are more closer to a
kernel bug for the non-cooperative usages that Mike focuses on, than
for for dpdk qemu-cooperative usages that reproduced it, but it's still
nicer to get this fixed for dpdk too.
The part of the patch that caused me to think is only the
implementation issue of mpol_get, but it looks like it should work safe
no matter the kind of mempolicy structure that is (the default static
policy also starts at 1 so it'll go to 2 and back to 1 without crashing
everything at 0).

Replace bootmem allocator with memblock and enable use of NO_BOOTMEM like
on most other architectures.
Alpha gets the description of the physical memory from the firmware as an
array of memory clusters. Each cluster that is not reserved by the
firmware is added to memblock.memory.
Once the memblock.memory is set up, we reserve the kernel and initrd pages
with memblock reserve.
Since we don't need the bootmem bitmap anymore, the code that finds an
appropriate place is removed.
The conversion does not take care of NUMA support which is marked broken
for more than 10 years now.

The unicore32 architecture already supports memblock and uses it for some
early memory reservations, e.g initrd and the page tables.
At some point unicore32 allocates the bootmem bitmap from the memblock and
then hands over the memory reservations from memblock to bootmem.
This patch removes the bootmem initialization and leaves memblock as the
only boot time memory manager for unicore32.

Memory region size is rounded down to page boundary and with sub-page
region it becomes 0 and there is no point to add an empty region.
Moreover, when the base is less than PAGE_SIZE we get a bogus size as
(base + size - 1) evaluates to -1.
8cccffc526 ("of: check for size < 0 after rounding in
early_init_dt_add_memory_arch") introduced a test for wrap around for the
case when base is not page aligned, the same test can be used to ignore
sub-page region sizes.

check_for_memory() looks a bit confusing. First of all, we have this:
if (N_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
return;
Checking the ENUM declaration, looks like N_MEMORY canot be equal to
N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
I could not find where N_MEMORY is set to N_NORMAL_MEMORY, or the other
way around either, so unless I am missing something, this condition will
never evaluate to true. It makes sense to get rid of it.
Moving forward, the operations within the loop look a bit confusing as
well.
We set N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally, and then we set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in
case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM (N_NORMAL_MEMORY != N_HIGH_MEMORY) and zone <=
ZONE_NORMAL. (N_HIGH_MEMORY falls back to N_NORMAL_MEMORY on
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems, and that is why we can just go ahead and set
N_HIGH_MEMORY unconditionally)
Although this works, it is a bit subtle.
I think that this could be easier to follow:
First, we should only set N_HIGH_MEMORY in case we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM.
And then we should set N_NORMAL_MEMORY in case zone <= ZONE_NORMAL,
without further checking whether we have CONFIG_HIGHMEM or not.

The code path to reclaim the swap entry in free_swap_and_cache() is
almost same as that of __try_to_reclaim_swap(). The largest
difference is just coding style. So the support to the additional
requirement of free_swap_and_cache() is added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap(). free_swap_and_cache() is changed to call
__try_to_reclaim_swap(), and delete the duplicated code. This will
improve code readability and reduce the potential bugs.
There are 2 functionality differences between __try_to_reclaim_swap()
and swap entry reclaim code of free_swap_and_cache().
- free_swap_and_cache() only reclaims the swap entry if the page is
unmapped or swap is getting full. The support has been added into
__try_to_reclaim_swap().
- try_to_free_swap() (called by __try_to_reclaim_swap()) checks
pm_suspended_storage(), while free_swap_and_cache() not. I think
this is OK. Because the page and the swap entry can be reclaimed
later eventually.

Currently, kmemleak only prints the number of suspected leaks to dmesg but
requires the user to read a debugfs file to get the actual stack traces of
the objects' allocation points. Add a module option to print the full
object information to dmesg too. It can be enabled with
kmemleak.verbose=1 on the kernel command line, or "echo 1 >
/sys/module/kmemleak/parameters/verbose":
This allows easier integration of kmemleak into test systems: We have
automated test infrastructure to test our Linux systems. With this
option, running our tests with kmemleak is as simple as enabling kmemleak
and passing this command line option; the test infrastructure knows how to
save kernel logs, which will now include kmemleak reports. Without this
option, the test infrastructure needs to be specifically taught to read
out the kmemleak debugfs file. Removing this need for special handling
makes kmemleak more similar to other kernel debug options (slab debugging,
debug objects, etc).

If invalidate_range_start() is called for !blocking mode then all
callbacks have to guarantee they will no block/sleep. The same obviously
applies to invalidate_range_end because this operation pairs with the
former and they are called from the same context. Make sure this is

for PF_WQ_WORKER threads which was introduced by commit 373ccbe592
("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make
any progress") and lock up the system if OOM.
The primary reason is that WQ_MEM_RECLAIM WQs are not guaranteed to run
even when they have a rescuer available. Those workers might be essential
for reclaim to make a forward progress, however. If we are too unlucky
all the allocations requests can get stuck waiting for a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
work item and the system is essentially stuck in an OOM condition without
much hope to move on. Tetsuo has seen the reclaim stuck on
drain_local_pages_wq or xlog_cil_push_work (xfs). There might be others.
Since should_reclaim_retry() should be a natural reschedule point,
let's do the short sleep for PF_WQ_WORKER threads unconditionally in
order to guarantee that other pending work items are started. This
will workaround this problem and it is less fragile than hunting down
when the sleep is missed. Having a single sleeping point is more
robust.

I've noticed, that dying memory cgroups are often pinned in memory by a
single pagecache page. Even under moderate memory pressure they sometimes
stayed in such state for a long time. That looked strange.
My investigation showed that the problem is caused by applying the LRU
pressure balancing math:
scan = div64_u64(scan * fraction[lru], denominator),
where
denominator = fraction[anon] + fraction[file] + 1.
Because fraction[lru] is always less than denominator, if the initial scan
size is 1, the result is always 0.
This means the last page is not scanned and has
no chances to be reclaimed.
Fix this by rounding up the result of the division.
In practice this change significantly improves the speed of dying cgroups
reclaim.

Memcg charge is batched using per-cpu stocks, so an offline memcg can be
pinned by a cached charge up to a moment, when a process belonging to some
other cgroup will charge some memory on the same cpu. In other words,
cached charges can prevent a memory cgroup from being reclaimed for some
time, without any clear need.
Let's optimize it by explicit draining of all stocks on css offlining. As
draining is performed asynchronously, and is skipped if any parallel
draining is happening, it's cheap.

If CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is set, kernel stacks are allocated using
__vmalloc_node_range() with __GFP_ACCOUNT. So kernel stack pages are
charged against corresponding memory cgroups on allocation and uncharged
on releasing them.
The problem is that we do cache kernel stacks in small per-cpu caches and
do reuse them for new tasks, which can belong to different memory cgroups.
Each stack page still holds a reference to the original cgroup, so the
cgroup can't be released until the vmap area is released.
To make this happen we need more than two subsequent exits without forks
in between on the current cpu, which makes it very unlikely to happen. As
a result, I saw a significant number of dying cgroups (in theory, up to 2
* number_of_cpu + number_of_tasks), which can't be released even by
significant memory pressure.
As a cgroup structure can take a significant amount of memory (first of
all, per-cpu data like memcg statistics), it leads to a noticeable waste
of memory.

Extend the slub_debug syntax to "slub_debug=<flags>[,<slub>]*", where
<slub> may contain an asterisk at the end. For example, the following
would poison all kmalloc slabs:
slub_debug=P,kmalloc*
and the following would apply the default flags to all kmalloc and all
block IO slabs:
slub_debug=,bio*,kmalloc*

Slub does not call kmalloc_slab() for sizes > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE,
instead it falls back to kmalloc_large().
For slab KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE == KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE and it calls
kmalloc_slab() for all allocations relying on NULL return value for
over-sized allocations.
This inconsistency leads to unwanted warnings from kmalloc_slab() for
over-sized allocations for slab. Returning NULL for failed allocations is
the expected behavior.
Make slub and slab code consistent by checking size >
KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE in slab before calling kmalloc_slab().
While we are here also fix the check in kmalloc_slab(). We should check
against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE rather than KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. It all kinda
worked because for slab the constants are the same, and slub always checks
the size against KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE before kmalloc_slab(). But if we
get there with size > KMALLOC_MAX_CACHE_SIZE anyhow bad things will
happen. For example, in case of a newly introduced bug in slub code.
Also move the check in kmalloc_slab() from function entry to the size >
192 case. This partially compensates for the additional check in slab
code and makes slub code a bit faster (at least theoretically).
Also drop __GFP_NOWARN in the warning check. This warning means a bug in
slab code itself, user-passed flags have nothing to do with it.
Nothing of this affects slob.

we notice the problem on other architectures.
