[PATCH] slab: Fix kmem_cache_destroy() on NUMA

With CONFIG_NUMA set, kmem_cache_destroy() may fail and say "Can't
free all objects."  The problem is caused by sequences such as the
following (suppose we are on a NUMA machine with two nodes, 0 and 1):

 * Allocate an object from cache on node 0.
 * Free the object on node 1.  The object is put into node 1's alien
   array_cache for node 0.
 * Call kmem_cache_destroy(), which ultimately ends up in __cache_shrink().
 * __cache_shrink() does drain_cpu_caches(), which loops through all nodes.
   For each node it drains the shared array_cache and then handles the
   alien array_cache for the other node.

However this means that node 0's shared array_cache will be drained,
and then node 1 will move the contents of its alien[0] array_cache
into that same shared array_cache.  node 0's shared array_cache is
never looked at again, so the objects left there will appear to be in
use when __cache_shrink() calls __node_shrink() for node 0.  So
__node_shrink() will return 1 and kmem_cache_destroy() will fail.

This patch fixes this by having drain_cpu_caches() do
drain_alien_cache() on every node before it does drain_array() on the
nodes' shared array_caches.

The problem was originally reported by Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@voltaire.com>.
