In the per cpu partial slub, we may add a full page into node partial list. like the following scenario: cpu1 cpu2 in unfreeze_partials in __slab_alloc ... add_partial(n, page, 1); alloced from cpu partial, and set frozen = 1. second cmpxchg_double_slab() set frozen = 0 If it happen, we'd better to skip the full page and to seek next slab in node partial instead of jump to other nodes. This patch base on 'slub/partial' head of penberg's tree, and following code optimize of get_partial_node() patch.
