Currently lists are being used to manage this, but best practice is usually to have these in an array instead as that it cheaper to manage. Outside of that detail, games are also played with KASAN as the list is inside the cached entry itself. Finally, all users of this need a struct io_cache_entry embedded in their struct, which is union'ized with something else in there that isn't used across the free -> realloc cycle. Get rid of all of that, and simply have it be an array. This will not change the memory used, as we're just trading an 8-byte member entry for the per-elem array size. This reduces the overhead of the recycled allocations, and it reduces the amount of code code needed to support recycling to about half of what it currently is.

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.
