[RFC v1 1/5] mm, slub: fix bulk alloc and free stats

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Tue Aug 08 2023 - 12:37:56 EST


The SLUB sysfs stats enabled CONFIG_SLUB_STATS have two deficiencies
identified wrt bulk alloc/free operations:

- Bulk allocations from cpu freelist are not counted. Add the
ALLOC_FASTPATH counter there.

- Bulk fastpath freeing will count a list of multiple objects with a
single FREE_FASTPATH inc. Add a stat_add() variant to count them all.
