Subject: [PATCH 4.19 037/110] mm: dont warn about large allocations for slab

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@...gle.com>

commit 61448479a9f2c954cde0cfe778cb6bec5d0a748d upstream.

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.
