[PATCH 0/4] rcu: don't assume the size of struct rcu_head

[PATCH 0/4] rcu: don't assume the size of struct rcu_head

[Lai Jiangshan]

We always keep the struct rcu_head very small, but we may change it in future
or under some CONFIGs.

There are some other systems may assume the size of struct rcu_head as 2 * sizeof(long).
These assumptions obstruct us to add debug information or priority information
to struct rcu_head. It is time to fix them.

It is glad that I just find 3 places which need to be fixed. These 4 patches
are just cleanup patches when the size of struct rcu_head == 2 * sizeof(long).
NO overhead added and NO behavior changed.
Even when the size of struct rcu_head becomes larger, only slub is changed a little.

[PATCH 1/3 V2] slub: automatically reserve bytes at the end of slab

[Lai Jiangshan]

There is no "struct" for slub's slab, it shares with struct page.
But struct page is very small, it is insufficient when we need
to add some metadata for slab.

So we add a field "reserved" to struct kmem_cache, when a slab
is allocated, kmem_cache->reserved bytes are automatically reserved
at the end of the slab for slab's metadata.

Changed from v1:
	Export the reserved field via sysfs

[PATCH 3/3 V2] slab,rcu: don't assume the size of struct rcu_head

[Lai Jiangshan]

it may pollute the data after struct slab.
