Most kmem_cache_alloc() calls are from user context. With instrumentation enabled, the measured amount of kmem_cache_alloc() calls from non-task context was about 0.01% of the total. The irq disable/enable sequence used in this case to access content from object stock is slow. To optimize for user context access, there are now two sets of object stocks (in the new obj_stock structure) for task context and interrupt context access respectively. The task context object stock can be accessed after disabling preemption which is cheap in non-preempt kernel. The interrupt context object stock can only be accessed after disabling interrupt. User context code can access interrupt object stock, but not vice versa. The downside of this change is that there are more data stored in local object stocks and not reflected in the charge counter and the vmstat arrays. However, this is a small price to pay for better performance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
