This patch reverts 77ab5dd.  This is now possible because upstream has
refactored the ARC in such a way that these values are only used in a

9dc5ffbec8 Invert minclsyspri and maxclsyspri
On Linux the meaning of a processes priority is inverted with respect
to illumos.  High values on Linux indicate a _low_ priority while high
value on illumos indicate a _high_ priority.

In order to preserve the logical meaning of the minclsyspri and
maxclsyspri macros when they are used by the illumos wrapper functions
their values have been inverted.  This way when changes are merged
from upstream illumos we won't need to remember to invert the macro.
It could also lead to confusion.

Note this change also reverts some of the priorities changes in prior
commit 62aa81a.  The rational is as follows:

spl_kmem_cache    - High priority may result in blocked memory allocs
spl_system_taskq  - May perform I/O for file backed VDEVs
spl_dynamic_taskq - New taskq threads should be spawned promptly

62aa81a577 Add defclsyspri macro
Add a new defclsyspri macro which can be used to request the default
Linux scheduler priority.  Neither the minclsyspri or maxclsyspri map
to the default Linux kernel thread priority.  This makes it awkward to
create taskqs which run with the same priority as the rest of the kernel
threads on the system which can lead to performance issues.

All SPL callers which previously used minclsyspri or maxclsyspri have
been changed to use defclsyspri.  The vast majority of callers were
part of the test suite which won't have an external impact.  The few
places where it could impact performance the change was from maxclsyspri
to defclsyspri.  This makes it more likely the process will be scheduled
which may help performance.

To facilitate further performance analysis the spl_taskq_thread_priority
module option has been added.  When disabled (0) all newly created kernel
threads will use the default kernel thread priority.  When enabled (1)
the specified taskq priority will be used.  By default this value is
enabled (1).

f7a973d99b Add TASKQ_DYNAMIC feature
Setting the TASKQ_DYNAMIC flag will create a taskq with dynamic
semantics.  Initially only a single worker thread will be created
to service tasks dispatched to the queue.  As additional threads
are needed they will be dynamically spawned up to the max number
specified by 'nthreads'.  When the threads are no longer needed,
because the taskq is empty, they will automatically terminate.

Due to the low cost of creating and destroying threads under Linux
by default new threads and spawned and terminated aggressively.
There are two modules options which can be tuned to adjust this
behavior if needed.

* spl_taskq_thread_sequential - The number of sequential tasks,
without interruption, which needed to be handled by a worker
thread before a new worker thread is spawned.  Default 4.

* spl_taskq_thread_dynamic - Provides the ability to completely
disable the use of dynamic taskqs on the system.  This is provided
for the purposes of debugging and troubleshooting.  Default 1
(enabled).

This behavior is fundamentally consistent with the dynamic taskq
implementation found in both illumos and FreeBSD.

86c16c59fe Retire rwsem_is_locked() compat
Stock Linux 2.6.32 and earlier kernels contained a broken version of
rwsem_is_locked() which could return an incorrect value.  Because of
this compatibility code was added to detect the broken implementation
and replace it with our own if needed.

The fix for this issue was merged in to the mainline Linux kernel as

all backported the fix.  Therefore there is no longer a need to carry
this code and it can be removed.

a876b0305e Make taskq_wait() block until the queue is empty
Under Illumos taskq_wait() returns when there are no more tasks
in the queue.  This behavior differs from ZoL and FreeBSD where
taskq_wait() returns when all the tasks in the queue at the
beginning of the taskq_wait() call are complete.  New tasks
added whilst taskq_wait() is running will be ignored.

This difference in semantics makes it possible that new subtle
issues could be introduced when porting changes from Illumos.
To avoid that possibility the taskq_wait() function is being
updated such that it blocks until the queue in empty.

The previous behavior remains available through the
taskq_wait_outstanding() interface.  Note that this function
was previously called taskq_wait_all() but has been renamed
to avoid confusion.

d0d5dd7144 Add MUTEX_FSTRANS mutex type
There are regions in the ZFS code where it is desirable to be able
to be set PF_FSTRANS while a specific mutex is held.  The ZFS code
could be updated to set/clear this flag in all the correct places,
but this is undesirable for a few reasons.

1) It would require changes to a significant amount of the ZFS
   code.  This would complicate applying patches from upstream.

2) It would be easy to accidentally miss a critical region in
   the initial patch or to have an future change introduce a
   new one.

Both of these concerns can be addressed by adding a new mutex type
which is responsible for managing PF_FSTRANS, support for which was
added to the SPL in commit 9099312 - Merge branch 'kmem-rework'.

5f920fbee1 Retire MUTEX_OWNER checks
To minimize the size of a kmutex_t a MUTEX_OWNER check was added.
It allowed the kmutex_t wrapper to leverage the mutex owner which was
already stored in the mutex for certain kernel configurations.

The upside to this was that it reduced the size of the kmutex_t wrapper
structure by the size of a task_struct pointer (4/8 bytes).  The
downside was that two mutex implementations needed to be maintained.
Depending on your exact kernel configuration the correct one would
be selected.

Over the years this solution worked but it could be fragile since it
depending heavily on assumed kernel mutex implementation details.  For
example the SPL_AC_MUTEX_OWNER_TASK_STRUCT configure check needed to
be added when the kernel changed how the owner was stored.  It also
made the code more complicated than it needed to be.

Therefore, in the name of simplicity and portability this optimization
is being retired.  It will slightly increase the memory requirements
for a kmutex_t but only very slightly.

ee33517452 Use __get_free_pages() for emergency objects
The __get_free_pages() function must be used in place of kmalloc()
to ensure the __GFP_COMP is strictly honored.  This is due to
kmalloc() being layered on the generic Linux slab caches.  It
wasn't until recently that all caches were created using __GFP_COMP.
This means that it is possible for a kmalloc() which passed the
__GFP_COMP flag to be returned a non-compound allocation.

3018bffa9b Refine slab cache sizing
This change is designed to improve the memory utilization of
slabs by more carefully setting their size.  The way the code
currently works is problematic for slabs which contain large
objects (>1MB).  This is due to slabs being unconditionally
rounded up to a power of two which may result in unused space
at the end of the slab.

The reason the existing code rounds up every slab is because it
assumes it will backed by the buddy allocator.  Since the buddy
allocator can only performs power of two allocations this is
desirable because it avoids wasting any space.  However, this
logic breaks down if slab is backed by vmalloc() which operates
at a page level granularity.  In this case, the optimal thing to
do is calculate the minimum required slab size given certain
constraints (object size, alignment, objects/slab, etc).

Therefore, this patch reworks the spl_slab_size() function so
that it sizes KMC_KMEM slabs differently than KMC_VMEM slabs.
KMC_KMEM slabs are rounded up to the nearest power of two, and
KMC_VMEM slabs are allowed to be the minimum required size.

This change also reduces the default number of objects per slab.
This reduces how much memory a single cache object can pin, which
can result in significant memory saving for highly fragmented
caches.  But depending on the workload it may result in slabs
being allocated and freed more frequently.  In practice, this
has been shown to be a better default for most workloads.

Also the maximum slab size has been reduced to 4MB on 32-bit
systems.  Due to the limited virtual address space it's critical
the we be as frugal as possible.  A limit of 4M still lets us
reasonably comfortably allocate a limited number of 1MB objects.

Finally, the kmem:slab_small and kmem:slab_large SPLAT tests
were extended to provide better test coverage of various object
sizes and alignments.  Caches are created with random parameters
and their basic functionality is verified by allocating several
slabs worth of objects.

c2fa09454e Add hooks for disabling direct reclaim
The port of XFS to Linux introduced a thread-specific PF_FSTRANS bit
that is used to mark contexts which are processing transactions.  When
set, allocations in this context can dip into kernel memory reserves
to avoid deadlocks during writeback.  Linux 3.9 provided the additional
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for disabling __GFP_IO in page allocations, which XFS
began using in 3.15.

This patch implements hooks for marking transactions via PF_FSTRANS.
When an allocation is performed in the context of PF_FSTRANS, any
KM_SLEEP allocation is transparently converted to a GFP_NOIO allocation.

Additionally, when using a Linux 3.9 or newer kernel, it will set
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO to prevent direct reclaim from entering pageout() on
on any KM_PUSHPAGE or KM_NOSLEEP allocation.  This effectively allows
the spl_vmalloc() helper function to be used safely in a thread which
is responsible for IO.

c3eabc75b1 Refactor generic memory allocation interfaces
This patch achieves the following goals:

1. It replaces the preprocessor kmem flag to gfp flag mapping with
   proper translation logic. This eliminates the potential for
   surprises that were previously possible where kmem flags were
   mapped to gfp flags.

2. It maps vmem_alloc() allocations to kmem_alloc() for allocations
   sized less than or equal to the newly-added spl_kmem_alloc_max
   parameter.  This ensures that small allocations will not contend
   on a single global lock, large allocations can still be handled,
   and potentially limited virtual address space will not be squandered.
   This behavior is entirely different than under Illumos due to
   different memory management strategies employed by the respective
   kernels.  However, this functionally provides the semantics required.

3. The --disable-debug-kmem, --enable-debug-kmem (default), and
   --enable-debug-kmem-tracking allocators have been unified in to
   a single spl_kmem_alloc_impl() allocation function.  This was
   done to simplify the code and make it more maintainable.

4. Improve portability by exposing an implementation of the memory
   allocations functions that can be safely used in the same way
   they are used on Illumos.   Specifically, callers may safely
   use KM_SLEEP in contexts which perform filesystem IO.  This
   allows us to eliminate an entire class of Linux specific changes
   which were previously required to avoid deadlocking the system.

This change will be largely transparent to existing callers but there
are a few caveats:

1. Because the headers were refactored and extraneous includes removed
   callers may find they need to explicitly add additional #includes.
   In particular, kmem_cache.h must now be explicitly includes to
   access the SPL's kmem cache implementation.  This behavior is
   different from Illumos but it was done to avoid always masking
   the Linux slab functions when kmem.h is included.

2. Callers, like Lustre, which made assumptions about the definitions
   of KM_SLEEP, KM_NOSLEEP, and KM_PUSHPAGE will need to be updated.
   Other callers such as ZFS which did not will not require changes.

3. KM_PUSHPAGE is no longer overloaded to imply GFP_NOIO.  It retains
   its original meaning of allowing allocations to access reserved
   memory.  KM_PUSHPAGE callers can be converted back to KM_SLEEP.

4. The KM_NODEBUG flags has been retired and the default warning
   threshold increased to 32k.

5. The kmem_virt() functions has been removed.  For callers which
   need to distinguish between a physical and virtual address use
   is_vmalloc_addr().

a3c1eb7772 mutex: force serialization on mutex_exit() to fix races
It is known that mutexes in Linux are not safe when using them to
synchronize the freeing of object in which the mutex is embedded:

http://lwn.net/Articles/575477/

The known places in ZFS which are suspected to suffer from the race
condition are zio->io_lock and dbuf->db_mtx.

* zio uses zio->io_lock and zio->io_cv to synchronize freeing
  between zio_wait() and zio_done().
* dbuf uses dbuf->db_mtx to protect reference counting.

This patch fixes this kind of race by forcing serialization on
mutex_exit() with a spin lock, making the mutex safe by sacrificing
a bit of performance and memory overhead.

This issue most commonly manifests itself as a deadlock in the zio
pipeline caused by a process spinning on the damaged mutex.  Similar
deadlocks have been reported for the dbuf->db_mtx mutex.  And it can
also cause a NULL dereference or bad paging request under the right
circumstances.

This issue any many like it are linked off the zfsonlinux/zfs#2523
issue.  Specifically this fix resolves at least the following
outstanding issues:

8bbbe46f86 Remove global memory variables
Platforms such as Illumos and FreeBSD have historically provided
global variables which summerize the memory state of a system.
Linux on the otherhand doesn't expose any of this information
to kernel modules and uses entirely different mechanisms for
memory management.

In order to simplify the original ZFS port to Linux these global
variables were emulated by the SPL for the benefit of ZFS.  As ZoL
has matured over the years it has moved steadily away from these
interfaces and now no longer depends on them at all.

Therefore, this patch completely removes the global variables
availrmem, minfree, desfree, lotsfree, needfree, swapfs_minfree,
and swapfs_reserve.  This greatly simplifies the memory management
code and eliminates a common area of confusion.

e1310afae3 Remove get_vmalloc_info() wrapper
The get_vmalloc_info() function was used to back the vmem_size()
function.  This was always problematic and resulted in brittle
code because the kernel never provided a clean interface for
modules.

However, it turns out that the only caller of this function in
ZFS uses it to determine the total virtual address space size.
This can be determined easily without get_vmalloc_info() so
vmem_size() has been updated to take this approach which allows
us to shed the get_vmalloc_info() dependency.

3a92530563 Update code to use misc_register()/misc_deregister()
When the SPL was originally written it was designed to use the
device_create() and device_destroy() functions.  Unfortunately,
these functions changed considerably over the years making them
difficult to rely on.

As it turns out a better choice would have been to use the
misc_register()/misc_deregister() functions.  This interface
for registering character devices has remained stable, is simple,
and provides everything we need.

Therefore the code has been reworked to use this interface.  The
higher level ZFS code has always depended on these same interfaces
so this is also as a step towards minimizing our kernel dependencies.

The former "wait_on_bit" interface required an 'action' function to

can be satisfied by one of just two functions: one which uses
io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().  This API change

PANIC has been converted to a wrapper around the new spl_PANIC() function.

The other macros have been converted to use the "&&" operator for the
branch-predicition conditional and also to use spl_PANIC().

376dc35e22 Add spl_kmem_cache_reclaim module option
The correct behavior for all registered shrinkers is to return the
number of objects in their cache.  In theory this allows the Linux
VM to balance memory reclaim across all registered caches.

In commit b9b3715 this behavior was disabled in favor of returning
-1 which notifies the VM that no additional objects are available
for reclaim.  This was done as a workaround to resolve thrashing
in shrink_slabs() which could occur when memory was low and numerous
core where in reclaim.  Unfortunately, this has been observed to
increase the likelihood of OOM events when SPL slab consumers are
responsible for consuming the majority of memory.

Therefore, this patch makes this behavior tunable.  Setting the
spl_kmem_cache_reclaim module option to 0x1 will result in the
shrinker only being called once.  This is the default behavior.

a073aeb060 Add KMC_SLAB cache type
For small objects the Linux slab allocator has several advantages
over its counterpart in the SPL.  These include:

1) It is more memory-efficient and packs objects more tightly.
2) It is continually tuned to maximize performance.

Therefore it makes sense to layer the SPLs slab allocator on top
of the Linux slab allocator.  This allows us to leverage the
advantages above while preserving the Illumos semantics we depend
on.  However, there are some things we need to be careful of:

1) The Linux slab allocator was never designed to work well with
   large objects.  Because the SPL slab must still handle this use
   case a cut off limit was added to transition from Linux slab
   backed objects to kmem or vmem backed slabs.

   spl_kmem_cache_slab_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by the Linux slab.  By default
   this value is zero which disables the Linux slab functionality.
   Reasonable values for this cut off limit are in the range of
   4096-16386 bytes.

   spl_kmem_cache_kmem_limit - Objects less than or equal to this
   size in bytes will be backed by a kmem slab.  Objects over this
   size will be vmem backed instead.  This value defaults to
   1/8 a page, or 512 bytes on an x86_64 architecture.

2) Be aware that using the Linux slab may inadvertently introduce
   new deadlocks.  Care has been taken previously to ensure that
   all allocations which occur in the write path use GFP_NOIO.
   However, there may be internal allocations performed in the
   Linux slab which do not honor these flags.  If this is the case
   a deadlock may occur.

The path forward is definitely to start relying on the Linux slab.
But for that to happen we need to start building confidence that
there aren't any unexpected surprises lurking for us.  And ideally
need to move completely away from using the SPLs slab for large
memory allocations.  This patch is a first step.

NOTES:
1) The KMC_NOMAGAZINE flag was leveraged to support the Linux slab
   backed caches but it is not supported for kmem/vmem backed caches.

2) Regardless of the spl_kmem_cache_*_limit settings a cache may
   be explicitly set to a given type by passed the KMC_KMEM,
   KMC_VMEM, or KMC_SLAB flags during cache creation.

3) The constructors, destructors, and reclaim callbacks are all
   functional and will be called regardless of the cache type.

4) KMC_SLAB caches will not appear in /proc/spl/kmem/slab due to
   the issues involved in presenting correct object accounting.
   Instead they will appear in /proc/slabinfo under the same names.

5) Several kmem SPLAT tests needed to be fixed because they relied
   incorrectly on internal kmem slab accounting.  With the updated
   test cases all the SPLAT tests pass as expected.

6) An autoconf test was added to ensure that the __GFP_COMP flag
   was correctly added to the default flags used when allocating
   a slab.  This is required to ensure all pages in higher order
   slabs are properly refcounted, see ae16ed9.

7) When using the SLUB allocator there is no need to attempt to
   set the __GFP_COMP flag.  This has been the default behavior
   for the SLUB since Linux 2.6.25.

8) When using the SLUB it may be desirable to set the slub_nomerge
   kernel parameter to prevent caches from being merged.

Needed for Illumos #3582. This interface is supposed to support
a variable-resolution timeout with nanosecond granularity.  This

precision timing is rarely needed for real-world performance
tuning and may incur unnecessary busy-waiting.  usleep_range() is
used if available, otherwise udelay() or msleep() are used
depending on the length of the delay interval.

Add flags from sys/callo.h as these are used to control the behavior of
cv_timedwait_hires().  Specifically,

CALLOUT_FLAG_ABSOLUTE
    Normally, the expiration passed to the timeout API functions is
    an expiration interval. If this flag is specified, then it is
    interpreted as the expiration time itself.

CALLOUT_FLAG_ROUNDUP
    Roundup the expiration time to the next resolution boundary. If this
    flag is not specified, the expiration time is rounded down.

ffbf0e57c2 Kstat to use private lock by default
While porting Illumos #3537 I found that ks_lock member of kstat_t
structure is different between Illumos and SPL. It is a pointer to
the kmutex_t in Illumos, but the mutex lock itself in SPL.
Apparently Illumos kstat API allows consumer to override the lock
if required. With SPL implementation it is not possible anymore.

Things were alright until the first attempt to actually override
the lock. Porting of Illumos #3537 introduced such code for the
first time.

In order to provide the Solaris/Illumos like functionality we:
  1. convert ks_lock to "kmutex_t *ks_lock"
  2. create a new field "kmutex_t ks_private_lock"
  3. On kstat_create() ks_lock = &ks_private_lock

Thus if consumer doesn't care we still have our internal lock in use.
If, however, consumer does care she has a chance to set ks_lock to
anything else before calling kstat_install().

The rest of the code will use ks_lock regardless of its origin.

ba06298072 Linux 3.11 compat: Replace num_physpages with totalram_pages
num_physpages was removed by
torvalds/linux@cfa11e08ed, so lets replace
it with totalram_pages.

This is a bug fix as much as it is a compatibility fix because
num_physpages did not reflect the number of pages actually available to
the kernel:

http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0908.2/01001.html

Also, there are known issues with memory calculations when ZFS is in a
Xen dom0. There is a chance that using totalram_pages could resolve
them. This conjecture is untested at the time of writing.

f2a745c41d Linux 3.10 compat: Do not rely on struct proc_dir_entry definition
Linux kernel commit torvalds/linux#59d8053f moved the definition of
struct proc_dir_entry from include/linux/proc_fs.h to the private
header fs/proc/internal.h. The SPL relied on that to map Solaris'
kstat to entries in /proc/spl/kstat.

Since the proc_dir_entry structure is now private the only safe
thing to do is wrap the opaque proc handle with our own structure.
This actually ends up simplify the code and is good because it
moves us away from depending on implementation details of /proc.

Somewhat amazingly it went unnoticed that the delay() function
doesn't actually cause the task to block.  Since the task state
is never changed from TASK_RUNNING before schedule_timeout() the
scheduler allows to task to continue running without any delay.

0936c3449f Add spl_kmem_cache_expire module option
Cache aging was implemented because it was part of the default Solaris
kmem_cache behavior.  The idea is that per-cpu objects which haven't been
accessed in several seconds should be returned to the cache.  On the other
hand Linux slabs never move objects back to the slabs unless there is
memory pressure on the system.

This behavior is now configurable through the 'spl_kmem_cache_expire'
module option.  The value is a bit mask with the following meaning.

  0x1 - Solaris style cache aging eviction is enabled.
  0x2 - Linux style low memory eviction is enabled.

Both methods may be safely enabled simultaneously, but by default
both are disabled.  It has never been clear if the kmem cache aging
(which has been around from day one) actually does any good.  It has
however been the source of numerous bugs so I wouldn't mind retiring
it entirely.

This allows us to abandon the kernels delayed work queue interface
and all the compatibility code it requires.

This code never actually used the delay functionality it was just
done this way to leverage the existing compatibility code.  All that
is required is a thread context to perform the allocation in.  The
only thing clever in this change is that we take advantage of the
preallocated task queue entries to avoid a memory allocation.

a10287e00d kmem-cache: Use taskqs for ageing
Shift the cache and magazine ageing functionality over to the new
delayed taskq interfaces.  This allows us to abandon the kernels
delayed work queue interface and all the compatibility code it
requires.

However, the delayed taskq interface does not allow us to schedule
a task for a specfic cpu so the ageing code was slightly reworked.
The magazine ageing delay has been directly linked to the cache
ageing function.  The spl_cache_age() function invokes on_each_cpu()
in order to run spl_magazine_age() on each cpu.  It then blocks
waiting for them to complete and promptly reclaims any free slabs.

When restructing the code wasn't the primary goal I think the
new code is far more understable and maintainable.  It also should
help minimize magazine thrashing because free slabs are immediately
released after the magazine is aged.

d9acd930b5 taskq delay/cancel functionality
Add the ability to dispatch a delayed task to a taskq.  The desired
behavior is for the task to be queued but not executed by a worker
thread until the expiration time is reached.  To achieve this two
new functions were added.

* taskq_dispatch_delay() -

  This function behaves exactly like taskq_dispatch() however it
takes a third 'expire_time' argument.  The caller should pass the
desired time the task should be executed as an absolute value in
jiffies.  The task is guarenteed not to run before this time, it
may run slightly latter if all the worker threads are busy.

* taskq_cancel_id() -

  Given a task id attempt to cancel the task before it gets executed.
This is primarily useful for canceling delay tasks but can be used for
canceling any previously dispatched task.  There are three possible
return values.

  0      - The task was found and canceled before it was executed.
  ENOENT - The task was not found, either it was already run or an
           invalid task id was supplied by the caller.
  EBUSY  - The task is currently executing any may not be canceled.
           This function will block until the task has been completed.

* taskq_wait_all() -

  The taskq_wait_id() function was renamed taskq_wait_all() to more
clearly reflect its actual behavior.  It is only curreny used by
the splat taskq regression tests.

* taskq_wait_id() -

  Historically, the only difference between this function and
taskq_wait() was that you passed the task id.  In both functions you
would block until ALL lower task ids which executed.  This was
semantically correct but could be very slow particularly if there
were delay tasks submitted.

  To better accomidate the delay tasks this function was reimplemnted.
It will now only block until the passed task id has been completed.

This is actually a fairly low risk change for a few reasons.

* Only new ZFS callers will make use of the new interfaces and
  very little common code was changed to support the new functions.

* The existing taskq_wait() implementation was not changed just
  slightly refactored.

* The newly optimized taskq_wait_id() implementation was never
  used by ZFS we can't accidentally introduce a new bug there.

NOTE: This functionality does not exist in the Illumos taskqs.

aed8671cb0 taskq style, remove #define wrappers
When the taskq implementation was originally written I wrapped all
the API functions in #define's.  This was done as a preventative
measure to ensure that a taskq symbol never conflicted with an
existing kernel symbol.

However, in practice the taskq symbols never conflicted.  The only
major conflicts occured with the kmem cache API.  Since this added
layer of obfuscation never bought us anything for the taskq's I'm
removing it.

ed3163484d Track emergency object in rbtree
In the initial implementation emergency objects were tracked on a
per-cache list.  The assumption was that under normal operation we
would never allocate more than a handful of these objects.  So the
cost of walking the list during free was expected to be negligible.

However real world usage has shown that emergency objects tend to
be allocated in batches.  A deadlock will be detected and several
thousand emergency objects will be allocated before the original
blocked slab allocation can complete.

Therefore the original list has been replaced by a red black tree
which is sorted by the memory address of each allocated object.
This bounds the worst case insertion and removal time to O(log n)
which minimize contention on the assoicated spin lock.

165f13c33a Improved vmem cached deadlock detection
The entire goal of performing the slab allocations asynchronously
is to be able to detect when a vmalloc() deadlocks.  In this case,
and only this case, do we want to start allocating emergency objects.
The trick here is to minimize false positives because the overhead
of tracking emergency objects is far higher than normal slab objects.

With that goal in mind the code was reworked to be less sensitive
to slow allocations by increasing the wait time.  Once a cache is
is marked deadlocked all subsequent allocations which can not be
satisfied with existing cache objects will immediately allocate new
emergency objects.  This behavior persists until the asynchronous
allocation completes and clears the deadlocked flag.

The result of these tweaks is that far fewer emergency objects
get created which is important because this minimizes the cost of
releasing them latter in kmem_cache_free().
