					^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stupid question: why ->parent can't be NULL ? (without UB_LOOKUP_SUB).

beancounter_findcreate() is not time critical, yes? Isn't it better
to kill 'if (mask & UB_ALLOC_ATOMIC) { ... }' and just do

	new_ub = kmem_cache_alloc(ub_cachep,
		UB_ALLOC_ATOMIC ? GFP_ATOMIC : GFP_KERNEL);

after spin_unlock(&ub_hash_lock) ?
