Ohhoon Kwon 33647783de mm/slab_common: move dma-kmalloc caches creation into new_kmalloc_cache() 
There are four types of kmalloc_caches: KMALLOC_NORMAL, KMALLOC_CGROUP,
KMALLOC_RECLAIM, and KMALLOC_DMA. While the first three types are
created using new_kmalloc_cache(), KMALLOC_DMA caches are created in a
separate logic. Let KMALLOC_DMA caches be also created using
new_kmalloc_cache(), to enhance readability.

Historically, there were only KMALLOC_NORMAL caches and KMALLOC_DMA
caches in the first place, and they were initialized in two separate
logics. However, when KMALLOC_RECLAIM was introduced in v4.20 via
commit 1291523f2c ("mm, slab/slub: introduce kmalloc-reclaimable
caches") and KMALLOC_CGROUP was introduced in v5.14 via
commit 494c1dfe85 ("mm: memcg/slab: create a new set of kmalloc-cg-<n>
caches"), their creations were merged with KMALLOC_NORMAL's only.
KMALLOC_DMA creation logic should be merged with them, too.

By merging KMALLOC_DMA initialization with other types, the following
two changes might occur:
1. The order dma-kmalloc-<n> caches added in slab_cache list may be
sorted by size. i.e. the order they appear in /proc/slabinfo may change
as well.
2. slab_state will be set to UP after KMALLOC_DMA is created.
In case of slub, freelist randomization is dependent on slab_state>=UP,
and therefore KMALLOC_DMA cache's freelist will not be randomized in
creation, but will be deferred to init_freelist_randomization().

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 Restructured Text 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.
