Currently, kvfree_rcu_barrier() flushes RCU sheaves across all slab caches when a cache is destroyed. This is unnecessary; only the RCU sheaves belonging to the cache being destroyed need to be flushed.
As suggested by Vlastimil Babka, introduce a weaker form of kvfree_rcu_barrier() that operates on a specific slab cache. Factor out flush_rcu_sheaves_on_cache() from flush_all_rcu_sheaves() and call it from flush_all_rcu_sheaves() and kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache(). Call kvfree_rcu_barrier_on_cache() instead of kvfree_rcu_barrier() on cache destruction. The performance benefit is evaluated on a 12 core 24 threads AMD Ryzen 5900X machine (1 socket), by loading slub_kunit module. Before: Total calls: 19 Average latency (us): 18127 Total time (us): 344414 After: Total calls: 19 Average latency (us): 10066 Total time (us): 191264 Two performance regression have been reported: - stress module loader test's runtime increases by 50-60% (Daniel) - internal graphics test's runtime on Tegra23 increases by 35% (Jon) They are fixed by this change.
