Here is another one without debugging:

0xffffffff811d23bb <+59>: mov %gs:0x8(%r9),%rdx tid(rdx) = this_cpu_read()
0xffffffff811d23c0 <+64>: mov %r9,%r8
0xffffffff811d23c3 <+67>: add %gs:0x7ee37d9d(%rip),%r8 c (r8) =
0xffffffff811d23cb <+75>: cmp 0x8(%r8),%rdx c->tid == tid
0xffffffff811d23cf <+79>: jne 0xffffffff811d23bb <kmem_cache_alloc+59>

Actually that looks ok.
