Subject: [PATCH RFC 6/6] mm, slub: sheaf prefilling for guaranteed
allocations
Add three functions for efficient guaranteed allocations in a critical
section (that cannot sleep) when the exact number of allocations is not
known beforehand, but an upper limit can be calculated.
kmem_cache_prefill_sheaf() returns a sheaf containing at least given
number of objects.
kmem_cache_alloc_from_sheaf() will allocate an object from the sheaf
and is guaranteed not to fail until depleted.
kmem_cache_return_sheaf() is for giving the sheaf back to the slab
allocator after the critical section. This will also attempt to refill
it to cache's sheaf capacity for better efficiency of sheaves handling,
but it's not stricly necessary to succeed.
TODO: the current implementation is limited to cache's sheaf_capacity
