kmem_cache is a frequently used data in kernel. During the code reading, I found maybe we could save some space in some cases. 1. On 64bit arch, type int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well. 2. cpu_slab->partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set 3. cpu_partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set, while just save some space on 32bit arch.
