init_once is called when an object doesn't come from the cache, and hence needs initial clearing of certain members. While the whole struct could get cleared by memset() in that case, a few of the cache members are large enough that this may cause unnecessary overhead if the caches used aren't large enough to satisfy the workload. For those cases, some churn of kmalloc+kfree is to be expected. Ensure that the 3 users that need clearing put the members they need cleared at the start of the struct, and wrap the rest of the struct in a struct group so the offset is known. While at it, improve the interaction with KASAN such that when/if KASAN writes to members inside the struct that should be retained over caching, it won't trip over itself. For rw and net, the retaining of the iovec over caching is disabled if KASAN is enabled. A helper will free and clear those members in that case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
