mm: don't warn about large allocations for slab
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.
