The reason why the messages are shown is to release a resource structure,
allocated by bootmem, by kfree(). So when we release a resource structure,
we should check whether it is allocated by bootmem or not.

But even if we know a resource structure is allocated by bootmem, we cannot
release it since SLxB cannot treat it. So for reusing a resource structure,
this patch remembers it by using bootmem_resource as follows:

When releasing a resource structure by free_resource(), free_resource() checks
whether the resource structure is allocated by bootmem or not. If it is
allocated by bootmem, free_resource() adds it to bootmem_resource. If it is
not allocated by bootmem, free_resource() release it by kfree().

And when getting a new resource structure by get_resource(), get_resource()
checks whether bootmem_resource has released resource structures or not. If
there is a released resource structure, get_resource() returns it. If there is
not a releaed resource structure, get_resource() returns new resource structure
allocated by kzalloc().

v4:
Use PageSlab() instead of PageReserved() for checking that released resource
structure is managed by Slub allocator

v3:
Change lock range in get_resource() for protecting bootmem_resource.sibling

v2:
Based on following Toshi's works:
Support memory hot-delete to boot memory
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/10/469
resource: Update config option of release_mem_region_adjustable()

The branch is mixed up, you are collecting slab objects in
bootmem_resource and kfreeing bootmem.

This should be a pointer of struct resource and declared as static, such
as:

static struct resource *bootmem_resource_free;

I prefer to keep memset() outside of the spin lock.

spin_lock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
if (..) {
:
spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
memset(res, 0, sizeof(struct resource));
} else {
spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
res = kzalloc(sizeof(struct resource), flags);
}

Hmm. It is a little ugly. How about it?

spin_lock(&bootmem_resource_lock);
if (bootmem_resource.sibling) {
res = bootmem_resource.sibling;
bootmem_resource.sibling = res->sibling;
}
spin_unlock(&bootmem_resource_lock);

if (res)
memset(res, 0, sizeof(struct resource));
else
res = kzalloc(sizeof(struct resource), flags);

Oh, I missed "should be pointer of struct resource" part.
Please teach me your detailed idea. If this is defined as pointer,
how do we initialize this and manage bootmem resources?

I'm thinking it but have no idea.

Sure. It's quite simple. Since only bootmem_resource.sibling is used,
it can be replaced with a pointer, such as bootmem_resource_free. This
avoids allocating a struct resource table as this code is supposed to
save memory.

So, first, declare the pointer below, which is initialized to NULL as
BSS (checkpatch.pl complains if you set it to NULL explicitly).

static struct resource *bootmem_resource_free;

Then, in free_resource(), this pointer replaces bootmem_resource.sibling
as follows.

res->sibling = bootmem_resource_free;
bootmem_resource_free = res;

Similarly, in get_resource().

if (bootmem_resource_free) {
res = bootmem_resource_free;
bootmem_resource_free = res->sibling;
}

Thank you for your detail explanation. I clearly understood your idea.
I'll update your comment and post a updated patch.
