一、准备知识：
slab的概念：
slab算法的基本思路：
分配：
if(对相对应的缓存区有空闲位置)
使用这个位置，不必再初始化；
else{
分配内存；
初始化对象；
}
释放：
在缓存中标记空闲，不做析构；
资源不足：
寻找未使用的对象空间；
按照要求对部分对象做析构；
释放对象占用的空间；
缓存区：每一个对象放在一个缓存区
slab：每个slab块都是页面大小的整数倍（有上限）
着色：字节数按照硬件的要求对齐，可以大大提高硬件缓存的利用率和效率。
slab块的两种管理模式：
on-slab 适用于小对象（小于1/8页），slab管理结构存放在slab块中。
off-slab适用于大对象，(大于等于1/8页),对象和slab块的管理结构都由cache_slabp中分配。
根据slab提出者的论文,slab不适合用在大对象上。
slab涉及的重要操作：
缓存区创建kmem_cache_create与销毁kmem_cache_destory
缓存区收缩kmem_cache_shrink与扩张kmem_cache_grow
对象分配kmem_cache_alloc与释放kmem_cache_free
内核态内存的申请kmalloc与释放kfree
二、涉及的重要数据结构：
typedef unsigned int kmem_bufctl_t：slab块中的管理结构
cache_size表：保存了不同大小(2^n)页面指向cache_cache的两种指针(dma和非dma)。
链表：最重要的是在管理slab结构中出现的3个链表，分别为完全使用的，部分使用的和完全没用过的slab。
结构体：见下面的代码分析。
三、代码分析：
每个颜色代表的含义：
红色：代码注释；
藕荷色：编译预处理需要处理的内容；
蓝色：C语言关键字、函数定义；
绿色：宏定义；
黑色：代码；
灰色：输出信息；
深蓝色：我给出的注解。

* or with a little more detail in;
* The Slab Allocator: An Object-Caching Kernel Memory Allocator
* Jeff Bonwick (Sun Microsystems).
* Presented at: USENIX Summer 1994 Technical Conference
这个人在1994年USENIX年会上首先提出了关于slab（对象缓存）的概念
*
*
* The memory is organized in caches, one cache for each object type.
* (e.g. inode_cache, dentry_cache, buffer_head, vm_area_struct)
* Each cache consists out of many slabs (they are small (usually one
* page long) and always contiguous), and each slab contains multiple
* initialized objects.
*注释大意：在缓存中，每一个类型的对象都对应一种缓存，比如inode_cache dentry_cache buffer_head vm_area_struct等等。
每一个缓存包含了很多slab(通常都很小，可能只有一个页那么大)
* Each cache can only support one memory type (GFP_DMA, GFP_HIGHMEM,
* normal). If you need a special memory type, then must create a new
* cache for that memory type.
*注释大意：每个缓存只能支持一种内存的模式(GFP_DMA, GFP_HIGHMEM, normal,这些都在include/linux/mm.h中作为宏定义)
* In order to reduce fragmentation, the slabs are sorted in 3 groups:
* full slabs with 0 free objects
* partial slabs
* empty slabs with no allocated objects
*注释大意：为了减少碎片，slab被分在3个组：
全都使用了的slab,没有空闲的对象
部分slab
全空的slab,没有分配任何对象
* If partial slabs exist, then new allocations come from these slabs,
* otherwise from empty slabs or new slabs are allocated.
*注释大意：如果部分slab存在，则从这些slab中分配，如果不存在那就分配空的或者新的slab。
* kmem_cache_destroy() CAN CRASH if you try to allocate from the cache
* during kmem_cache_destroy(). The caller must prevent concurrent allocs.
*注释大意：假如在执行kmem_cache_destory()的时候，又要求缓存分配，则会出现崩溃。调用的时候一定要注意避免并发申请。
* On SMP systems, each cache has a short per-cpu head array, most allocs
* and frees go into that array, and if that array overflows, then 1/2
* of the entries in the array are given back into the global cache.
* This reduces the number of spinlock operations.
*注释大意：在对称多处理器器的系统上，每个缓存都有一个对应CPU的数组，
几乎所有的分配和释放操作都会进入这个数组。如果这个数组超过限制了，则数组中一般的内容送回到全局缓存中。
这样可以减少自旋锁的数目。
* The c_cpuarray may not be read with enabled local interrupts.
*注释大意：当本地的中断处在激活的状态下，c_cpuarry是不可读的
* SMP synchronization:
* constructors and destructors are called without any locking.
* Several members in kmem_cache_t and slab_t never change, they
* are accessed without any locking.
* The per-cpu arrays are never accessed from the wrong cpu, no locking.
* The non-constant members are protected with a per-cache irq spinlock.
*注释大意：多处理器的同步：
构建和析构都是在不加锁的情况下调用的
许多kmem_cache_t和slab_t的成员是永远不会改变的，因此不用加锁。
那些改变的成员通过每一个缓存的中断请求自旋锁来保护。
* Further notes from the original documentation:
*注释大意：更多的资料：
* 11 April '97. Started multi-threading - markhe
* The global cache-chain is protected by the semaphore 'cache_chain_sem'.
* The sem is only needed when accessing/extending the cache-chain, which
* can never happen inside an interrupt (kmem_cache_create(),
* kmem_cache_shrink() and kmem_cache_reap()).
*注释大意：1997年4月11日，markhe开始做多线程的支持工作。
全局缓存链通过互斥锁cache_chain_sem来保护
这个互斥锁只在访问或者扩展缓存链的时候才需要，不会在中断的过程中(kmem_cache_create(),kmem_cache_shrink(),kmem_cache_reap())出现
* To prevent kmem_cache_shrink() trying to shrink a 'growing' cache (which
* maybe be sleeping and therefore not holding the semaphore/lock), the
* growing field is used. This also prevents reaping from a cache.
*注释大意：为了避免kmem_cache_shrink()试图收缩正在增长的缓存（处在睡眠状态，并且不持有互斥锁或者锁），
避免收缩正在被使用的增长的区域，(这个互斥锁)还可以避免回收缓存。
* At present, each engine can be growing a cache. This should be blocked.
*注释大意：目前，每个部件都可以是一个正在增长的缓存，这是需要在未来做出改变的。

额外的知识：使用0xA5填充未初始化的区域的原因：
对于为初始化的区域，也可以考虑用0xFF或0x00填充，但是用0xA5填充可以确保不出现偶然的相邻位的短路：
例如，D0 D1 D2 D3 ....D7,其中D1-D2出现了短路
对于用0x00填充而言：D0-D7 00000000
对于用0xFF填充而言：D0-D7 11111111
对于用0xA5填充而言：D0-D7 10000101
可以非常容易的检查出来硬件的失效或者偶然的错误

通过c_growing来避免这块缓存被回收或者收缩，而不是通过加互斥锁或者缓存锁来实现。
需要注意，这块缓存可以被选进回收的函数kmem_cache_reap()，但是在那里面会发现这块缓存正在增长所以不回收。
